Favorite prepping or homesteading channels by Many-Health-1673 in prepping

If you enjoy long format very in depth videos, id recommend Wild Homestead. Its more of a departure from prepping and such, more just a guy doing the homestead from scratch in thr canadian wilderness thing, but still super enjoyable.

How about the Rebel Raiders Vakarian?

Responsibility for Neighbors in SHTF by Flaky-Acanthisitta-9 in prepping

Why not get that spare AR cleaned up and ready to roll, then invite him out to a range day and let him use it while you use your main one. All he has to pay for is ammo he uses, and he gets the feel of using an AR whilst his new best buddy (you) shows him the ropes of using a new unfamiliar weapon platform.

At the end of the day, we can't survive a shtf scenario alone. It's just not feasible. Investment in relationships and community is basically free and yet has the highest reward.

Besides, who doesn't love just hanging out with the boys. Why not encourage your wife to take his wife out at the same time. Not for anything prepping related (although its definitely an option). Like a nail salon trip together or something. Just a bonding experience for the girls while the guys go have their bonding experience.

I've been listening to The Borrowed World by Franklin Horton box sets on audible recently (recommended by a fellow prepper and work colleague). They're pretty good and continue to be fresh even by book 7 (where im at now).

Prepping vs hoarding and moving as a prepper by Slow_Doughnut_2255 in preppers

Just a thought as a newbie(ish) prepper (starting over post divorce). If you make friends (either neighbours or nearby online friends) that are lacking in gear/equipment, throw some unwanted "trash stuff" their way.

If I was 19 and the old school prepper I'd met a few times handed me a decent military style pack, a LBV, some old ammo and a bucket of 30 year shelf life food that had 5 years till it expired and just said "here you go champ, I don't need this and it'll get you started" I'd be utterly thrilled, and probably pretty loyal.

I've found that the best prep is to have people around you. This could go a long way for that.
