Teaching yourself to fish: Prepping tips on YouTube | Madison Park Times

I like the expression “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.” I’ve been wanting to learn more about preparedness – why not leverage the wisdom of people who do this for a hobby (and sometimes a living!)? YouTube videos have been a surprisingly useful resource for my own prepping research for several reasons: 1) They have dates (unlike some websites) so I can usually find recent information 2) I can see items or techniques they’re recommending in detail and 3) The videos can make sometimes dry topics personal, practical and often fun. Please note that I don’t agree with all the tips discussed (I don’t think you should use candles for lighting or cooking, for safety reasons).  In this column, I grouped YouTubers by their main specialty or topic. The YouTube channels are listed by their YouTube handle (preceded by @). Using this item in YouTube’s search bar means you’ll get to the right channel!  General Prepping @TheUrbanPrepper: A dapper Seattle resident who focuses on city preparedness and has tons of tool/gadget recommendations, Cliff has been uploading preparedness content for 14 years!
