Preppers

Best resources (pref. UK-based)

Just wondered if anyone could recommend best resources (websites, podcasts, books) that are focused on U.K. prepping.

Living in an urban environment means I couldn't just bug out and head for the hills and a lot of the US stuff I've read focuses on having lots of space and also on weaponry! I am too scared to carry my little camping penknife around with me in case I get into trouble!

On the penknife point, it's perfectly legal if it's a folding blade and under 3" long www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives

I've been carrying a small penknife for years and have never had any trouble - including the time I forgot to take it off my keyring and airport security didn't spot it, so I ended up having it with me on the plane Blush

There is the UK Preppers guide stuff - I find this a bit wannabe.
Simon, a bloke in the woods on YouTube is pretty engaging.
AlfieAesthetics on YouTube is useful but makes me feel very old - it's a tad juvenile
These are both bushcraft-y
The wonderful Liz Zorab is more on the smallholder/homesteader side of things. She's really lovely and very calm. Her vlogs are a good place to be.

Thanks @bellinisurge - am focusing on the homesteading side at the moment although I do love all the 'gear/bushcraft' side of things. Just feel it is less likely to be needed and also costs more than stashing tins and batteries!

There is a US vlog called CityPrepping and another UrbanPrepper which have some interesting ideas. Obviously they are in US but you might find some handy tips.
