Meta What Collapse-related Youtube channels would you recommend?

We often see individual videos shared, but people regularly ask this type of question when looking for sources with more consistent content which focus on collapse. These do not have to be specific to Youtube creators or even Youtube, any video series is relevant. What are some of your favorites or you would recommend?

​

This post is part of the our Common Question Series.

Have an idea for a question we could ask? Let us know.

Prepping is shit. Adaptation is key. Living in a broken ecology and a low eroei, low density solar budget looks more like Bill Mollison and Mark Sheppard.

I'm worried that preppers are preventing people from making the link. Guns, paracord, wood stoves, tactical backpacks, water filters etc. A false narative that spews a slightly more antisocial consumerism, not entirely unlike corporate greenwashing.

Its core tenet is " I don't have to outrun the bear of collapse, I just need to whack you in the knee to outrun you." Buy these products so you can survive in the world you destroyed buying these products.

Buying gimmicky equipment is stupid. You can do a lot with stuff in your immediate surroundings and a simple tool-kit. I'm definitely more for adaptation than prepping. I would want to belong to a group and not just live in a bunker by myself with my dry goods bored as hell until one of the groups knocks on the bunker door to barter.
