In a world of increasing uncertainty, being prepared isn’t extreme—it’s essential.

From inflation, to war, disease outbreak and natural disasters, unexpected events can derail life in an instant. Don’t get caught without food, water and warmth.

City Prepping helps you transform anxiety into action with practical survival strategies, for real people, in real situations. (Just ask our 1.13M YT subscribers)

It doesn’t matter if you are:

  • A city dweller
  • Budget-conscious 
  • Seeking peace of mind for your family
  • At the beginning of your journey
  • An experienced prepper looking to refine skills

We teach survival basics for everyday people through practical and easy to implement steps so you have peace of mind in any situation.

Survival Isn't About Panic—It's About Preparedness

Tired of fear-mongering “experts” spreading panic instead of teaching real preparedness? The prepping world is cluttered with sensationalist content that leaves people feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed. 

The reality is, each of us faces unique disaster scenarios, and generic advice often leads to wasted money and misguided efforts.

Survival skills are not about fear—they’re about empowering you to take action sooner than later.

We Believe Preparedness Is For Everyone

This group has helped me stay focused on the relevant preparedness items and motivated me to continue the path to self-sufficiency. I like the non-political, non hysterical approach and sharing of ideas on how to better prepare.

I very much appreciate the calm, supportive environment this community offers. It’s the prime example of how the internet can be used for community building, and not community dividing. I’ve learned so much from everyone, and am truly grateful to have been able to join. Thank you @CityPrepping for all the hard work you’ve done to put this together and keep it going. And thank you to everyone else for the knowledge and kindness you’ve shared.

Praise from our community

The live courses have been tremendously helpful. They not only teach how to do something, but also provide spreadsheets that help me literally see what I have and what the needs are. Having this foundation has resulted in me feeling less anxious. This has been a incredible year of learning.

When I started prepping nearly four years ago, I felt alone and isolated from like-minded people. Working in a vacuum, so to speak, was difficult and many of my projects were self-directed as well as hit or miss. When anyone of us is facing challenges, we have a whole community to offer support. Thank you, Kris, for bringing us all together for support, and encouragement.

Hey, I’m Kris!

I’ve been involved with emergency preparedness for nearly 30 years, including humanitarian work in impoverished areas of Mexico and Afghanistan.

From all this exposure I knew how good I had it and also how quickly things can change so I embarked upon a multiyear journey to create my own preparedness plan so I could feel confident taking care of myself and my family here in Southern California. 

Over the last several years I’ve been blessed to have more than 1m subscribers on YouTube, and have helped over 3000 students learn more about self-reliance. 

This has given me a unique view into how challenging it can be to prepare during these uncertain times.

I created The City Prepping Community to foster a tight-knit community of people that are inspired to become more self-sufficient, safe and secure. 

Our goal is to help 10,000 people get prepared by 2030. We call it the 2030 Initiative and would love to have you join us in our mission.
