Do you watch any other YouTube channels on that topic? I assume you do, so consider that an inquiry into whatever channels interest you.
I know there's a bit of 'drama' that surrounds some of the more well known YouTubers on the subject, but I try to watch most of their channels for whatever information I can glean from them, and just ignore the little rivalries they sometimes have going among themselves.
I enjoy a mix of the different topics. I watch some channels for weapons (be it knife reviews, firearms information), others for good food preparation and storage information, some channels for off the grid living equipment and homesteading skills; and yet other channels I watch for bushcraft techniques, hiking/outdoor living equipment reviews, etc...
A few channels I enjoy:
Yankee Prepper (King of the lightning rods)
Nutnfancy (lightning rod number 2)
Beast 12101
jasonklass
Packrat556
Envirosponsible
Hickok45
Wildernessoutfitters (Dave Canterburys channel)

I do have food and water stored for a disaster, i also have plenty of ammo but thats because I enjoy shooting. I also have a disaster kit in each car which has an emergangy blanket, lighters, firstaid supplies and snack bars.
What kind of emergency? Who says I'll be home if anything happens? Who says those shelves of canned food won't be trapped under rubble? I mean, I worry about the tread on my tires...but I can't worry about every what if scenario I can think up. I take daily precautions and can survive isolated for a bit in my home if need be but beyond that, yup. Screwed. But I don't loose sleep over it.
No, instead you seem to think that it is someone elses responsibility to take care of you and your failure to be prepared. Water, food, first aid, shelter, back-up power is not exactly "what iffing" every scenario. Who says you have to be home? Do you have a kit in your car? A back-up plan and place to go if you cannot get home?
Frankly, the failure for people to take personal responsibility for being prepared is the height of selfishness and irresponsibility. That some Americans learned absolutely nothing from Katrina, Hugo or other natural disasters is an appauling reflection of the dependant entitlement society.

What blew my mind the first time I read about it on one of the survivalist forums was preppers commenting about their sheeple neighbors who rushed out to buy the last of the plywood sheets and generators just before the hurricane was supposed to hit -- and then tried to RETURN THEM for a refund once the danger was past.
THAT'S the kind of mentality that really scares me -- living in the moment and being reactive, not proactive, in preparing for recurring events in your area.
When the next hurricane looms, those will be the same people trampling others to repurchase what they should have kept.

Is that what I seem to think? After saying I can handle isolation in my home for awhile? Or did you miss that part.
That's all anyone can do. If it's worse than that I could well be dead. Then I won't care anyway.
I can think on my feet. IF a disaster strikes all plans may well be moot and you will have to make them on the fly. That's how people survive. One thing I did learn is to leave the area when told, not hole up in my fortress of doom.
before you get to giddy about your discovery, play the video again and see if the same ad is there. when i just clicked on it there is one for dating pretty chinese girls. if you didnt realize it the random ads that pop up are how youtube makes their money. the southernprepper had no control over the anointed ones ad to move the country back from being there. nice try and thanks for visiting.

of course thinking on your feet is important. thats why our military is superior and always has been, they are given the ability to think on their feet and anyone can at any time be tasked with leading. other forces are done once the commander on scene is taken out. however there is no replacement for preparedness. having supplies like food and not needing them is better than needing them and they are not available any where. people are to accustomed to having the government take care of them. look at new orleans, perfect example. mayor said get out way to late and there was no plan.
gotta wonder though, why would someone from northern california even care or read this forum from sarasota. it says on your header you have 12,723 posts? you must be on these boards 24/7

That sort of thing was and still is huge around here during hurricanes, a few weeks and months after hurricanes Ike and Rita there were literally hundreds, maybe thousands of "never been used" generators on Craigslist that people bought in parking lots out of semi trucks and didn't need. They got them cheap because they're worthless crap generators and they saw a clear weather report so they tried to sell them for what they paid or sometimes even more.
It's shocking how many people are completely and utterly unprepared for anything that might happen, anything from a huge hurricane to a single day without access to a grocery store or gas station. My neighbors were funny as hell when Ike was rolling in, I had quite a few comment about me being one of the very few who boarded up their windows days ahead of time... these were the same people knocking on my door wanting to borrow screws and a saw to cut particle board for their windows literally as the skies were turning dark and the wind was starting to blow.
