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.

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.

Even though our community members are miles and miles away from each other, I can reach anyone through our messaging system. So many times I had a question and received prompt and logical information. 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.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and helping who ever I can. This platform is a great place to learn and make friends with the same mind set. I want to thank everyone that has worked hard to make it possible.

The polite discussions and lack of political debate or name calling promotes dialog, builds trust, and encourages learning. Refreshing change from most sites.

A lot of friendly, smart people on this site. I sincerely appreciate this community.

I have lost track on the number of good ideas and explanations community members have shared that helped me solve problems and make progress.

I really appreciate Kris’ calm, rational approach to managing his site and his frequent reminders to find the right balance when it comes to prepping and life in general. Well done.

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.

It has been good to meet the like-minded and see the wealth of knowledge shared in this community. There have been many timely and informative posts. And I have been grateful for the camaraderie and kindness shown to one another. All of this makes this community a catalyst for growth as preppers, and a supportive and enjoyable environment overall. Keep it up, everyone.

The first thing that came to mind, is the community.

A place to go to interact with people that are like minded. I know it might seem weird but I feel like I’m not own anymore.

While reading other’s posts I have had a few — hadn’t thought of that — moments. Its helped me deepen?, broaden?, enlarge my understanding, and way of thinking. Its helped me grow.

It’s helped me lower my stress. I know I have somewhere to ask questions and get help. I know I don’t know everything but I don’t have to figure it out on my own, someone here is likely to have the answer. And if not, we can discuss it.

So I want to do a big shout to the members, its the people that makes this community. And to Kris for making this happen. We are stronger together. Thank you.

The Choice is Yours

You could keep listening to the doom and gloom about what lies ahead… trying to predict what will happen and when it will happen.

Or, you can take the bold step towards preparing so that you and your family can become more self-sufficient in all the priority categories in the face of an impending disaster.

And for those of you who are already on the journey to preparedness, you’ll meet others who are actively taking steps, gaining new skills and sharing their experience so you can leverage their knowledge and share yours.

One by one we’ll become an unstoppable force.
