Merry Christmas everyone. Quick channel *UPDATE*
This week’s video will be posted on Friday, a video I’m calling “not another damn bug out bag video” then we’re back to our weekly video schedule. I really needed an end of year break to re charge my creative batteries.
I also wanted to take a second to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Each and every one of you has made my year so amazing, I can’t thank you all enough. J&j, subdawg, Evan, the guy with blade as his profile pic, Richard, Marc, Craig, zeb and so many more folks who come back week after week!
2026 is going to bring some new stuff to the channel, new people and a good mixture of traditional as well as hardcore prepping content.
Have a great Christmas Day and I’ll see you all on Friday!!

Time to get some info from you folks. What kind of videos do you want to see? Clearly it’s not anything informational. The lowest performing videos on our channel are all informational. The firearms, tactical, security videos, and real world training seem to not be in talks wheelhouse 😉. Please comment below and TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.

What did you all think about last weeks video on the dangers of AI?

A BRIEF MESSAGE/WARNING.

I've been sitting here writing some new videos. I always like to scroll through YouTube and see what people are watching and I have to admit something. Over the last month or two I have noticed over 100 new "prepper" channels. Every single one of these channels is generated with AI. All of the stock imagery that you see of some lady packing a suitcase while the voiceover is talking about fire starting is from a website called pixabay, or pexels.

I decided to go down a rabbit hole here and actually use the AI to see what the heck is going on and apparently there are now what's called AI YouTube farms. The sole purpose of these farms is to mass produce videos for YouTube to make money. And I gotta tell you something this really pisses me off. I really enjoy sharing my life experiences and skills with all of you, but I have noticed that many people who follow my channel also follow six or seven AI generated YouTube channels

I’d really like to know what it is that draws you to these AI-generated channels. Let me know down in the comments what you find appealing about them — because here’s my concern: these AI YouTube farms can pump out hundreds of videos an hour across countless channels. Over time, that means the information you depend on could become watered down, misleading, or flat-out false. I honestly believe that could lead to something disastrous.

I will assure you that you will never see any AI generated content on my channel. I really value each and every person who comes here week after week watching my videos and hopefully taking away either some new skill knowledge, or igniting some kind of passion for you all.

I hope you all are doing well. Fall is in full swing here in the northeast, hard to imagine Thanksgiving is just about five weeks away. You guys all take care, we should have a video out this Thursday, 23 October or if I get a little bit behind it'll be out the 24th.

WOW!! This is a pretty big deal friends. In just over a year our channel has gone from 410 subs to 25,000. I think I posted in May when we broke 10,000. I am so honored that you folks have helped me build a great and sometimes quirky community. Thank you all again so much for believing in what I’m trying to do on this platform! Much love to all of you!!

Hope everyone’s doing well. New video coming out at 6pm on prepping for martial law. I do have a question, are you guys looking forward to the new series coming out every Sunday, which means you get TWO videos from prepared citizen each week. On Thursday’s or Fridays our usual preparedness content and on Sundays my new series showing you how to set yourselves up for sustainability via hunting. I’m excited! I hope you are too, let me know in this poll.
