Hi Kris As a Brit watching your politics I can give a None bias opinion on what I thinks best for your nation. And I can confidently say Bobby Kennedy is the best man for the job. He looks to unite all sides and I think you should interview him. I'm almost certain you'll be able to get him as he's doing alot of podcasts and interviews on the online space as he believes it's the best way to reach the people :)
@@djapotomous1531 Thanks for the recommendation. I spoke to him one on one back in 2003. At the time, I felt like he was a typical politician, giving canned responses to my questions. I'm not sure if he's changed much, but I think he'll just end up pulling votes from one candidate like Ross Perot back when Bush was running against Clinton. I hate that we've effectively been reduced to a 2 party system, but here we are :(

Working in my garden does 2 things; it gives me delicious food and melts away the stress of current issues. I also think digging in the dirt does a body good.
@@daviru02 Being able to defend your home is definitely part of being self-sufficient, specially if you live in an area with less police presence. It doesn’t have to take an SHTF situation for people to be criminals.
@@daviru02 never tell anyone, even family that you have emergency/prepped supplies. Make sure your family keeps that quiet. Desperate people become dangerous people
To put it rather bluntly - any family man or woman that is still blowing money on pleasure and living above their means is grossly neglecting the welfare of their family.
It is in First Timothy about if you don't provide for your own, especially your family, you are the same as a non-believer. GOD clearly wants us to care for ourselves and our families.

The United States has enough resources to stand alone if necessary. We have allowed our manufacturing base to be decimated by bad decisions by corporate greed. We must restart our manufacturing base. It won't be easy but it must be done.
While emergency preparedness is important, extreme "prepping" leads to significant spending on gadgets and equipment and heightened anxiety, driven by an industry that profits from encouraging excessive stockpiling and always having the latest and greatest items. A more balanced approach, focusing on practical, flexible plans and realistic risk assessment, can ensure readiness without unnecessary financial burden or stress.
If you pay attention over the long term to this channel, you’ll see Kris really focuses on skills. Yes, prepping is a huge part of it, but that’s not all he does.

I'm spending my time getting right with my religion and spending all my time with family and friends whilst we are all still free.

I'm right there with you, I'm disabled and even though my family thinks I'm nuts I still am managing to put stuff away so things don't catch me off guard
Been chugging away with prepping (within spending limits). And have been thinking a lot with what could happen this fall... Working on my gardening and becoming more self sufficient with produce my family consumes. Actually just expanded my garden more by 32 sq feet. Already planning my crops for 2025.
Hey, CP! I have also just moved across the country to be with my very large family (community), I bought some acreage with multiple buildings (including a greenhouse!), lots of room for animals and my adult children, I’ve planted about 20 fruit trees and 30 fruit bushes (blueberries, raspberries, etc), and have plans to create Terra Preta this winter (look it up!). I’m right there with you, Kris. Thanks to you, I also saw all this coming. Fingers crossed we all make it, if we do, we have a lot to thank you for. 🙏🏽
You're probably going to want to invest in large amounts of shade cloth, frost cloth and the lightweight version of frost cloth which works as a bug shield. We added 50% shade cloth this year to help shade our rabbits and our berry bushes which all burnt to a crisp in just under two days last summer while loaded with multiple hundreds of berries. Shade cloth will help you grow greens that don't really like summer heat.
"None of us are victims; we all have the opportunity to prepare "... well said, Sir. I am now a lifelong subscriber learning from your channel. Thank you for quality content that will bless all of our lives.
I'm highly concerned about an enemy country taking advantage of the current US political crisis we are in, or an attack from a terrorist organization. The US is extremely vulnerable right now.
It has been a struggle, I can’t deny. I am amazed at what I have accomplished a little at a time over the years. My biggest regrets? Not having land of my own to expand into gardening, and that my family (children & their families) don’t share my priorities. I am called a “conspiracy theorist “ and not supported in these endeavors. I keep plugging away with an eye to self sustainability, and skills that will pay off in other ways. I am a long-term follower of your channel and so appreciate your level-headed approach and presentations. Thank you for all the content and guidance over the years!
Thank you Kris another great video. So much more for us to consider than your videos several years ago! I wanted to share something that isnt usually talked about in prepping but it is definitely something that people should be aware of. This world has become polarized, devisive and full of division every where you turn, including in the family and it might be valuable to think about being prepared should you be 'cast off' by your family and are left to fend for yourself both financially and emotionally. I think theres room in prepping for some level of asking yourself 'can I take care of myself if I have to'. I got to this revelation the hard way 6 months ago and as a 69 year old I can tell you it is life changing and humbling. Ive since found that this is not uncommon for older people, given our current social climate and younger generations being so self focused. Just wanted to throw this out there, if it could help one person not go through what I've been through, it would be great! Take care.
Other than the basics, you should prep supplies for extreme weather, in texas, it's tornados, hail, and fires, so fire exs, fire blankets, and fire ball bombs, helmets for soft all sized hail
Good afternoon. Partly because of my expectation of increasing temperatures I moved to a high elevation place in Wy six years ago. It has worked out. I have not felt compelled enough to turn on the AC yet this year and at night it is quite cool up here.
I think its important to rember one of the repeating patterns in world wars and all large wars is the quick introduction to never before seen military advances.
This worries me. Any country out there could have come up with something more advanced than the US. I often wonder if we have it being it seems we are still trying to control all other countries
Neutron bombs, "salted" cobalt bombs, fully autonomous AI drones (air, land, and sea), directed energy weapons, hypersonic missiles...yeah, nasty stuff for sure. That's just a few examples of what we're permitted by Government™ to know about.
I have been struggling the past week to keep fighting the good fight. I needed your words today. Thanks, Kris! Time to work in the garden instead of living in fear.
My town always has a 4th of July Festival for the fireworks my family always gose to just take our mind of things for awhile. This year i suddenly became to tired to go like i hadn't sleep in 5 days so my family stayed home and we had a bbq with little sparklers.. the next morning i found out there was a shooting at the festival and 4 crashes from people trying to flee and a overdose.. i thank god my family wasn't there this year...
I don't see any real change in weather on LI, NY, except it actually takes longer for the heat of summer weather and it stays warmer into fall. The seasons seemed to have shifted a bit.
I live in SW Ontario and our gardening zone has increased one zone. I could have planted late April, early May, instead of late May, early June. It makes a huge difference.
Not if you have a President whose policies are directed to basically undermining our natural resources and disbanding coal and oil in the country. And not if your President is geared to solar energy and is basically forcing us to buy solar panels from China. And not if mandates are pushing people towards electric vehicles which are not only unproven but we have no infrastructure to readily recharge those vehicles in place of gasoline stations. The US may be able to be "self sufficient" but we aren't and we're not going to be. Look at the nut in the White House and tell me you think his policies have been good for America. He and his administration are a HUGE problem.
Ooof 😂 Thanks Kris! About the election, my family & I live in MI. All 4 of us received absentee ballot applications this spring. Only myself turned in the application. 1 other member requested on the last application for all future ballots. The remaining members did not turn in the applications nor checked the box for all future ballots. Last week we ALL received official absentee ballots. There’s something very wrong here, and with as little faith I already had in elections, I think having that scenario happen IN MY HOME, depleted all trust in fair elections. Not sure if I’m going to vote now, possibly ever again. 2 illegitimate absentee ballots in the house… 🙄
After my son passed away, 2 years later he was still receiving absentee ballots. I saved them. Un opened as a souvenir. One day I'll get Trump to sign one, and Hillary the other. 2016🎉😂❤
Neither would be counted. The registration and ballot has many checks and balances. I had doubts until I volunteered to work an election. I have tremendous faith in out election process.
Thank you Kris and congratulations for your dreams becoming a reality. I appreciate all you have to offer on this channel and like you, I am grateful for all that I have and the people in my life. However as for prepping… as the oldest of 7 my mother “prepped” out of necessity to keep us fed. Made many of our clothes and homeschooled til we were old enough to attend the Catholic school. My father was a brick mason so work was seasonal here in Michigan. Many whom I have talked to prep out of convenience. Some since it’s how they grew up. However, it does surprise me how many prep simply out of fear.
Americans are often resistant to the idea of following the climate science because: 1, climate science is generally funded by the government; 2, the solution to a changing climate is yielding more money and power to the government; and 3, climate predictions that make it into the public view are often wildly innacurate.
Keep up the good work providing us with the needed info to help us be aware and prepare. I, as a viewer look forward to the expansion and betterment of the channel. We will all be the better for it. Take care.
Thank you for the update. I have been trying to prepare for quite a few years now; I don’t think I’ll ever be ready enough. I have learned as many things as I can. Stocked up on books, water, seeds, medical kits, food. Trying to have enough to share with elderly, etc. I hope to teach others how to grow their own food and hope to survive on plants in our own areas if needed. Mental health is just as important as physical. ❤
Wow Chris! This was an intense video. But it was good. It was like a pause from business as usual and take stock of what else is going on. Contextualizing it all within the idea of "Is this something that I should prep for?" keeps it firmly within the prepper's domain. This expansion of the prepper's domain was something we first saw show up when Covid began to unfold. Because they were saying things like "Shelter in place" and stores were reported to be running low on certain items, the prepper outlook began to be seen as valuable and preppers began to grow aware that they needed to understand at least some of the events unfolding "out there" in order to prepare properly. To me, situating the video like this shows how you've matured as a creator, as well. Another part of this is the vision that you have shared with us. Many creators though they refer to their Community, do not really take advantage of some of the opportunities for change, that would allow a real reciprocal Community to arise. However, you are in many ways. There are many of us who for one reason or another are trying to be the change that the world needs in order for us to survive as a species. Revisioning what is meant by "community" is one of the first and hardest steps. So thank you for keeping your vision accessible to us all.
How easily & quickly the achieved standard of any nation and society can be destroyed, and how long it takes to re-build it again after its destruction.
Thank you for sharing!! I have been watching you for a few years now and sending you to others. I think the way you present every is very level headed and up front.
Have you not noticed how bad things are getting? Most US cities look like 3rd world countries now. The middle class is gone. We are involved in 2 proxy wars. We are 35 trillion in debt... Shall I go on?
Our perception of the state of our climate is based almost completely on what "experts" tell us in the media. Be careful who and what you believe. We are NOT experiencing unprecedented high temperatures. The highest recorded temp in St. Louis was 117 degrees in 1954, accompanied by devastating drought, as only one example. Climate is cyclical, as are all patterns in the natural world. And "predictions" are not fact.
OK fishinghole. If you believe this is the case, then what does one do to deal with it personally? Just ignore what's current, expecting it to get better again? On what time scale? Will you believe it's different this time if the cold water conveyor belt of the Atlantic stops moving?
Apparently the dust bowl never happened, according to the experts. We began getting suspicious of the data when we saw four different weather data gathering stations. Two were completely surrounded by trees to within a few feet of the fence around them. Two others, who ‘bows how they began, but now they are completely surrounded by buildings just outside their fences. None could possible be giving accurate data. How many more are like that? And how many more data gathering sites are actually needed to give a clear picture of what is happening. There are nowhere near enough.
What you're referring to is a one-time event. Yes, there have been hotter "moments" in our history. But what's different now is that we're seeing higher temperatures sustained over longer periods of time, which are dramatically changing multiple aspects of our lives. The largest one is going to be consistent food production (this is the one that bothers me the most).
No, my perception of the climate is based upon having lived in this region for the last 50 years and noting that our winters are shorter, we have more heat waves, and the growing season is now at least 4 weeks longer than it was when I was younger. It used to be routine for Lake Michigan to freeze in winter, now it almost never does. I no longer cross country ski in winter because we simply don't get enough and consistent snow whereas 25 years ago it was my major form of winter exercise. If you've lived in the same region as long as I have and you don't notice things have changed you are either not paying attention or in denial.
Hello Sir. At the beginning of this year you were talking very much about fitness and getting yourself back into shape and I actually joined you on this. I began a size 24 Australian (124kilos) I’m now a size 10 (77 kilo’s and still losing) I can’t thank you enough for this insight and inspiration because my entire world, wardrobe, fridge, family exercise, nutrition- every thing is different. My hubby says I feel entirely different and look different. Lol people don’t recognise me and treat ME so differently now. I’m now working on strength training and maintaining a totally different lifestyle and I want to thank you because I was using my weight as an excuse entirely for everything and my weight was causing 90% of my health problems and I know you can’t lose the weight until you are ready to. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life Down over 45 kilos. Feeling light and feeling alive again
Kris, after reviewing others, your channel is the only prepping channel I choose to continue to watch. Be encouraged to know that some of us appreciate your transparency and optimism. Looking forward to many more videos and lessons from you! Thank you!!!
I was a "prepper" 30 years ago. So many of my family and friends chided me for being a "tin foil hat". Then came the poo poo paper pandemonium of the coof. Not a single roll of toilet paper was available for weeks in my community, my family is outrageously stocked with all hygiene necessities. That was a wake up call for some of them. Then came the forest fire that plunged our little town into darkness for weeks. I never even needed to fire a generator because of my carefully designed solar and battery arrays. Now most of them understand why i prep. For my family's comfort and safety. Remember folks, if you are not good for yourself you can not be good for anyone else.
thanks always for the updates chris! and honestly, how things are going got me worried. trynna to keep my head on straight and doing small things to prep. hope eceryone else is too.
500 Years ago there was a prolonged period of heat/drought so intense that it drove the indigenous people from the area for centuries. Pretty sure anthropogenic causes were not the reason for the climate change at that time. 12,000 years ago there was 2 miles of ice piled over my head where I live in NJ due to climate change. Now it is gone - climate changed again. I have no doubt that the climate is changing again, (or rather still). It will continue to change no matter what we do or don't do. We need to focus on adapting to the inevitable, and that does not include participating in the carbon control money grab that is starting to gather momentum. That money will be needed to adapt our infrastructure, dwelling units and farming practices that need to be altered/transformed/redesigned to meet the challenges of the climate as it continues to do what it does.
Kris, Thanks for the info. I appreciate the time you spend researching this info and filming everything to get everyone aware and prepared. I am excited about your new project. God Bless and keep the info coming.

8:30 I don't think that anyone in the US or elsewhere are saying that climate change isn't happening. It always has and always will. The question is the extent if at all that human activities are driving it and whether it even matters, or if it will self-correct.
Kris - thanks for this update. I appreciate you steering us toward a sane evaluation of current conditions and away from succumbing to fear and possibly detrimental actions.
I can assure you this "city prepper" has absolutely NO insight that isn't already published hither and yon all over the planet. This "matter of fact" presentation based upon nothing but conjecture is just hype in my opinion. Does he think he's the "Edgar Cayce" of preppers?! lol
Best video yet, Brother Kris! This message about the shift that has, and is happening day by day, is changing our world here in the USA forever. Your message should be understood by all of those in the USA. The quicker our country understands that we are on our own moving forward, the more people can get ready. ❤
I don't believe the climate isn't undergoing some sort of change; what I DO have a problem with is when governments use force instead of incentives to bend the people to their will. We need to innovate our way into the future; our country used to lead that department. Over-regulation and centralized control are NOT "progressive" ideas.
keep up the good work, you're headed in the right direction so you can pave the way for so many others disclosed in-vid ads are way better than the youtube ads, BY FAR
another great video chris. really appreciate your level instruction and explanation of everyday, practical topics and national and global information. no matter how heavy or light the discussion, i never leave the video afraid or feeling lost/without hope - in fact, just the opposite. congrats on escrow and the new property. looking forward to the channel's expansion and more videos.

I am now a lifelong subscriber learning from your channel. Thank you for quality content that will bless all of our lives.
@Cityprepping00 I am most grateful!!
I'm highly concerned about an enemy country taking advantage of the current US political crisis we are in, or an attack from a terrorist organization. The US is extremely vulnerable right now.
Our enemies are already taking advantage of the current circumstances by using agents on social media to sow disinformation and fear.
Yes especially from within
by design
It has been a struggle, I can’t deny. I am amazed at what I have accomplished a little at a time over the years. My biggest regrets? Not having land of my own to expand into gardening, and that my family (children & their families) don’t share my priorities. I am called a “conspiracy theorist “ and not supported in these endeavors. I keep plugging away with an eye to self sustainability, and skills that will pay off in other ways. I am a long-term follower of your channel and so appreciate your level-headed approach and presentations. Thank you for all the content and guidance over the years!
Thank you Kris another great video. So much more for us to consider than your videos several years ago! I wanted to share something that isnt usually talked about in prepping but it is definitely something that people should be aware of. This world has become polarized, devisive and full of division every where you turn, including in the family and it might be valuable to think about being prepared should you be 'cast off' by your family and are left to fend for yourself both financially and emotionally. I think theres room in prepping for some level of asking yourself 'can I take care of myself if I have to'. I got to this revelation the hard way 6 months ago and as a 69 year old I can tell you it is life changing and humbling. Ive since found that this is not uncommon for older people, given our current social climate and younger generations being so self focused. Just wanted to throw this out there, if it could help one person not go through what I've been through, it would be great! Take care.
Have a great weekend everyone! 😊❤
Same to you ✌️☘️
You do the same
A political tectonic change. Thanks for highlighting this in a fast-paced world.
Through all of this Chris, some how You are managing to stay healthy and look Great !
Other than the basics, you should prep supplies for extreme weather, in texas, it's tornados, hail, and fires, so fire exs, fire blankets, and fire ball bombs, helmets for soft all sized hail
I'm in Southwest Florida. I'm prepping for hurricanes, power loss and extreme heat and humidity.
Good afternoon. Partly because of my expectation of increasing temperatures I moved to a high elevation place in Wy six years ago. It has worked out. I have not felt compelled enough to turn on the AC yet this year and at night it is quite cool up here.
Russia and China were talking about this publicly in 2020 while everyone else was distracted.
Love the way you deliver your message so -matter of fact. Thanks for your insight on prepping.
I think its important to rember one of the repeating patterns in world wars and all large wars is the quick introduction to never before seen military advances.
This worries me. Any country out there could have come up with something more advanced than the US. I often wonder if we have it being it seems we are still trying to control all other countries
Neutron bombs, "salted" cobalt bombs, fully autonomous AI drones (air, land, and sea), directed energy weapons, hypersonic missiles...yeah, nasty stuff for sure. That's just a few examples of what we're permitted by Government™ to know about.
@@JV-zt8lclook into the rod of god- it's a doozy!
@@mike7652 Don't forget bio weapons, and I think they are getting into gene editting.
I have been struggling the past week to keep fighting the good fight. I needed your words today. Thanks, Kris! Time to work in the garden instead of living in fear.
My town always has a 4th of July Festival for the fireworks my family always gose to just take our mind of things for awhile. This year i suddenly became to tired to go like i hadn't sleep in 5 days so my family stayed home and we had a bbq with little sparklers.. the next morning i found out there was a shooting at the festival and 4 crashes from people trying to flee and a overdose.. i thank god my family wasn't there this year...
I don't see any real change in weather on LI, NY, except it actually takes longer for the heat of summer weather and it stays warmer into fall. The seasons seemed to have shifted a bit.
I live in SW Ontario and our gardening zone has increased one zone. I could have planted late April, early May, instead of late May, early June. It makes a huge difference.
Great info. Well Done! Thanks for sharing!
US can easily be self sufficient. Great video!
Not if you have a President whose policies are directed to basically undermining our natural resources and disbanding coal and oil in the country. And not if your President is geared to solar energy and is basically forcing us to buy solar panels from China. And not if mandates are pushing people towards electric vehicles which are not only unproven but we have no infrastructure to readily recharge those vehicles in place of gasoline stations. The US may be able to be "self sufficient" but we aren't and we're not going to be. Look at the nut in the White House and tell me you think his policies have been good for America. He and his administration are a HUGE problem.
Just not on GPUs for AI.
Ooof 😂
Thanks Kris!
About the election, my family & I live in MI. All 4 of us received absentee ballot applications this spring. Only myself turned in the application. 1 other member requested on the last application for all future ballots. The remaining members did not turn in the applications nor checked the box for all future ballots.
Last week we ALL received official absentee ballots. There’s something very wrong here, and with as little faith I already had in elections, I think having that scenario happen IN MY HOME, depleted all trust in fair elections. Not sure if I’m going to vote now, possibly ever again. 2 illegitimate absentee ballots in the house… 🙄
After my son passed away, 2 years later he was still receiving absentee ballots.
I saved them. Un opened as a souvenir. One day I'll get Trump to sign one, and Hillary the other. 2016🎉😂❤
You do know that even if you returned both of them, only one would be counted?
Neither would be counted. The registration and ballot has many checks and balances. I had doubts until I volunteered to work an election. I have tremendous faith in out election process.
Thanks again, Kris, for delivering the news with calm and helping me not get overwhelmed.
Another great video.Thank you for being so professional. It's always a pleasure listening to you.
Thank you Kris and congratulations for your dreams becoming a reality. I appreciate all you have to offer on this channel and like you, I am grateful for all that I have and the people in my life. However as for prepping… as the oldest of 7 my mother “prepped” out of necessity to keep us fed. Made many of our clothes and homeschooled til we were old enough to attend the Catholic school. My father was a brick mason so work was seasonal here in Michigan.
Many whom I have talked to prep out of convenience. Some since it’s how they grew up. However, it does surprise me how many prep simply out of fear.
Thank you for all the research and hard work you provide for this community.
Your comments and insights are always helpful in our preparedness.
Americans are often resistant to the idea of following the climate science because: 1, climate science is generally funded by the government; 2, the solution to a changing climate is yielding more money and power to the government; and 3, climate predictions that make it into the public view are often wildly innacurate.
Thank you for this additional much needed info
ty again for another great video. Got my wife listening to you as well..
It's nice when husbands & wives can be on board with this together. Me and my hunnie are as well.
As always, I love your videos. I hope we have the time and means to see all of the projects you are planning. I'll be waiting and preparing. ❤
Keep up the good work providing us with the needed info to help us be aware and prepare. I, as a viewer look forward to the expansion and betterment of the channel. We will all be the better for it. Take care.
Thank you for sharing.
thank you for your calm, level-headed analysis of current events and circumstances.
Appreciate your updates - glad you got your new property!
Thank you for the time you take to give us information the regular news channels dont. I look for your videos!
Hope everyone had a fantastic and safe 4th!
Thank you for sharing this information and other facts and truth brother
Thank you Chris! Keeping us all updated
Thank you for the update. I have been trying to prepare for quite a few years now; I don’t think I’ll ever be ready enough. I have learned as many things as I can. Stocked up on books, water, seeds, medical kits, food. Trying to have enough to share with elderly, etc. I hope to teach others how to grow their own food and hope to survive on plants in our own areas if needed. Mental health is just as important as physical. ❤
Always find your videos informative.
Thanks Chris. I appreciate your concise and informative videos.
It feels like we're at a tipping point, and moving in the wrong direction.
Another great video, thanks for all you do.
Wow Chris! This was an intense video. But it was good. It was like a pause from business as usual and take stock of what else is going on. Contextualizing it all within the idea of "Is this something that I should prep for?" keeps it firmly within the prepper's domain. This expansion of the prepper's domain was something we first saw show up when Covid began to unfold. Because they were saying things like "Shelter in place" and stores were reported to be running low on certain items, the prepper outlook began to be seen as valuable and preppers began to grow aware that they needed to understand at least some of the events unfolding "out there" in order to prepare properly. To me, situating the video like this shows how you've matured as a creator, as well. Another part of this is the vision that you have shared with us. Many creators though they refer to their Community, do not really take advantage of some of the opportunities for change, that would allow a real reciprocal Community to arise. However, you are in many ways. There are many of us who for one reason or another are trying to be the change that the world needs in order for us to survive as a species. Revisioning what is meant by "community" is one of the first and hardest steps. So thank you for keeping your vision accessible to us all.
Thanks again for reminding people of what it was like in Afghanistan. We really need to keep our minds on what we have and what is important.
How easily & quickly the achieved standard of any nation and society can be destroyed, and how long it takes to re-build it again after its destruction.
Things will either work out for the better or the worse.. Stay Productive and Vigilant Folks.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for keeping us all informed.
Thank you for sharing!! I have been watching you for a few years now and sending you to others. I think the way you present every is very level headed and up front.
Haven't you been saying this for a few years now?
Have you not noticed how bad things are getting? Most US cities look like 3rd world countries now. The middle class is gone. We are involved in 2 proxy wars. We are 35 trillion in debt... Shall I go on?
It's a year. Just keeps declining. Prepare, you can't ignore things around you.
He has never presented any insight. It seems like he's gleaning some things from the news media and asking AI to re-write it for him! lol
@@HipHopCantSaveMe Yea. Go on.
@@HipHopCantSaveMe Not as bad as what the internet says, no.
Our perception of the state of our climate is based almost completely on what "experts" tell us in the media. Be careful who and what you believe. We are NOT experiencing unprecedented high temperatures. The highest recorded temp in St. Louis was 117 degrees in 1954, accompanied by devastating drought, as only one example. Climate is cyclical, as are all patterns in the natural world. And "predictions" are not fact.
OK fishinghole. If you believe this is the case, then what does one do to deal with it personally? Just ignore what's current, expecting it to get better again? On what time scale? Will you believe it's different this time if the cold water conveyor belt of the Atlantic stops moving?
Man made climate change is very very really, even if people choose to bury their head in the sand.
Apparently the dust bowl never happened, according to the experts. We began getting suspicious of the data when we saw four different weather data gathering stations. Two were completely surrounded by trees to within a few feet of the fence around them. Two others, who ‘bows how they began, but now they are completely surrounded by buildings just outside their fences. None could possible be giving accurate data. How many more are like that? And how many more data gathering sites are actually needed to give a clear picture of what is happening. There are nowhere near enough.
What you're referring to is a one-time event. Yes, there have been hotter "moments" in our history. But what's different now is that we're seeing higher temperatures sustained over longer periods of time, which are dramatically changing multiple aspects of our lives. The largest one is going to be consistent food production (this is the one that bothers me the most).
No, my perception of the climate is based upon having lived in this region for the last 50 years and noting that our winters are shorter, we have more heat waves, and the growing season is now at least 4 weeks longer than it was when I was younger. It used to be routine for Lake Michigan to freeze in winter, now it almost never does. I no longer cross country ski in winter because we simply don't get enough and consistent snow whereas 25 years ago it was my major form of winter exercise. If you've lived in the same region as long as I have and you don't notice things have changed you are either not paying attention or in denial.
Thank you for the update.
Always enjoy the info on ur channel. Am preparing best I can.
What will it take for the rest of the US to wake up and realize where we are headed?
Societal collapse most likely.
Where exactly are we headed, van?

Great information for an ever changing world in which we live. Thanks Chris!
Hello Sir. At the beginning of this year you were talking very much about fitness and getting yourself back into shape and I actually joined you on this.
I began a size 24 Australian (124kilos) I’m now a size 10 (77 kilo’s and still losing)
I can’t thank you enough for this insight and inspiration because my entire world, wardrobe, fridge, family exercise, nutrition- every thing is different.
My hubby says I feel entirely different and look different.
Lol people don’t recognise me and treat ME so differently now.
I’m now working on strength training and maintaining a totally different lifestyle and I want to thank you because I was using my weight as an excuse entirely for everything and my weight was causing 90% of my health problems and I know you can’t lose the weight until you are ready to.
It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life
Down over 45 kilos. Feeling light and feeling alive again
Kris, after reviewing others, your channel is the only prepping channel I choose to continue to watch. Be encouraged to know that some of us appreciate your transparency and optimism. Looking forward to many more videos and lessons from you! Thank you!!!
For ever?
Hello!
Thank you for keeping me informed and warned.
I am so glad i found this channel. Better late than never, I guess. Love the content and I'm looking forward to watching you grow even more.
I was a "prepper" 30 years ago. So many of my family and friends chided me for being a "tin foil hat". Then came the poo poo paper pandemonium of the coof. Not a single roll of toilet paper was available for weeks in my community, my family is outrageously stocked with all hygiene necessities. That was a wake up call for some of them. Then came the forest fire that plunged our little town into darkness for weeks. I never even needed to fire a generator because of my carefully designed solar and battery arrays. Now most of them understand why i prep. For my family's comfort and safety. Remember folks, if you are not good for yourself you can not be good for anyone else.
Yes the weather is changing
Congrats on the new adventure! I can't wait to watch the transition. I have faith that you'll help even more people!
thanks always for the updates chris! and honestly, how things are going got me worried. trynna to keep my head on straight and doing small things to prep. hope eceryone else is too.
500 Years ago there was a prolonged period of heat/drought so intense that it drove the indigenous people from the area for centuries. Pretty sure anthropogenic causes were not the reason for the climate change at that time.
12,000 years ago there was 2 miles of ice piled over my head where I live in NJ due to climate change. Now it is gone - climate changed again.
I have no doubt that the climate is changing again, (or rather still). It will continue to change no matter what we do or don't do.
We need to focus on adapting to the inevitable, and that does not include participating in the carbon control money grab that is starting to gather momentum. That money will be needed to adapt our infrastructure, dwelling units and farming practices that need to be altered/transformed/redesigned to meet the challenges of the climate as it continues to do what it does.
People in general don’t have the sense to realize what you wrote. They don’t grasp the historical aspects of climate at all.
How do you know these things happened that many years ago. Get real
Thanks for keeping us informed. Love this channel!❤
Kris, Thanks for the info. I appreciate the time you spend researching this info and filming everything to get everyone aware and prepared. I am excited about your new project. God Bless and keep the info coming.
3rd 😂
*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*
Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Andrew Louis Stella, has been an amazing experience.
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦♀️of myself because of low finance but I still
believe in God
I'm favoured, $90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Ms Louis Stella 😊🎉
Good day all👍🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺. I have read a lot of posts that people are very happy with the financial guidance she is giving them ! What way can I get to her exactly ?
She's always active on Whats~App... 🎉
8:30 I don't think that anyone in the US or elsewhere are saying that climate change isn't happening. It always has and always will. The question is the extent if at all that human activities are driving it and whether it even matters, or if it will self-correct.
Kris - thanks for this update. I appreciate you steering us toward a sane evaluation of current conditions and away from succumbing to fear and possibly detrimental actions.
Be Aware What They are Going to Hit US with 15jul24
What do you mean?
Explain?
Yet another internet account spewing vague threats and warnings with absolutely nothing to substantiate anything said. Ignore people like this.
I can assure you this "city prepper" has absolutely NO insight that isn't already published hither and yon all over the planet. This "matter of fact" presentation based upon nothing but conjecture is just hype in my opinion. Does he think he's the "Edgar Cayce" of preppers?! lol
Thanks for being insightful and sticking with prepping and keeping our eyes on the future,
Best video yet, Brother Kris! This message about the shift that has, and is happening day by day, is changing our world here in the USA forever. Your message should be understood by all of those in the USA. The quicker our country understands that we are on our own moving forward, the more people can get ready. ❤
I don't believe the climate isn't undergoing some sort of change; what I DO have a problem with is when governments use force instead of incentives to bend the people to their will. We need to innovate our way into the future; our country used to lead that department. Over-regulation and centralized control are NOT "progressive" ideas.
Love these news updates. Keep up the good work and info. Thanks.
Great updates as always. Good handling of tough topics such as climate and politics. Looking forward to following your off grid project.
As always, Chris this is great information =. This keeps us in the know! Keep up the good work.
keep up the good work, you're headed in the right direction so you can pave the way for so many others
disclosed in-vid ads are way better than the youtube ads, BY FAR
another great video chris.
really appreciate your level instruction and explanation of everyday, practical topics and national and global information.
no matter how heavy or light the discussion, i never leave the video afraid or feeling lost/without hope - in fact, just the opposite.
congrats on escrow and the new property. looking forward to the channel's expansion and more videos.
Absolutely agree with everything you said! I've been a subscriber for a little over 4 years and I have appreciated any and all information you have provided to this community.
Thanks for sharing content this week!
