TheUrbanPrepper
Welcome to The Urban Prepper, a YouTube channel dedicated to emergency preparedness, survival planning, and gear reviews for everyday city life. Based in the greater Seattle area, my focus is on urban preparedness, providing practical strategies and tools for people who live and work in modern environments rather than remote wilderness settings.
I create family-friendly, informative, and entertaining videos covering everything from bug out bags, power outage kits, food and water storage, and communication gear to organization systems, emergency planning, and real-world testing of the latest preparedness products.
With a background in software engineering, I apply principles like planning, organization, and scientific testing to each project. Every large-scale kit or preparedness system I feature is treated as an open-source project that viewers can adapt to their own needs, budgets, and environments.
