- This video goes over the Top 7 TH-cam channels that really inspired me to want to create my own TH-cam channel. Each of these channels inspired me in different ways, but all were highly influential to my style of creating Emergency Preparedness and Gear Review videos here on TH-cam.

#Top7 #Prepping #Gear
Your channel was definitely the #1 influence when I started my channel. Thanks for all you do!
I am so honored to hear that! You and Canadian Prepper were my #1 influencers to come back to making videos after taking a little bit of a break.
@@TheUrbanPrepper glad you came back!
I subscribed to you a month ago
What a classy video. So cool giving shoutouts to ppl who have influenced you.
I’ve told so many people about your channel and how you’re one of the main folks that have mentored me, so it’s really incredible to see that there were people that mentored you. Thank you for your kindness and humility.
That is so cool! Thank you so much for the kind words. Your backpack and bag videos have become the new "RoscoeBa" videos for me. They have so much detail that they make me want to up my game to try to keep up with the level of details that you include in yours. I'm glad I've been helpful to you and it's been great watching you and your channel blossom.
Ten years ago, Analytical Survival was the best of the best. He basically quit not long after his brother died, but much of his content is valid down to this day. He gets two thumbs up for homeschooling his son and focusing on his family and not TH-cam...
I agree. He was the best of the best. If he was that good at making TH-cam videos, just imagine how good of a homeschooler he is. Family is more important than TH-cam. I imagine he's inspired thousands of Preppers through his videos.
I am redoing my gear set for the third time. After two personal SHTF. Flooding and a wildfire. It's back to square one with nothing, No job. Limited budget, and medical problems. I never give up. Second is to help others. Thank you, again for this fine video.
Diebulfrog79 I hope you’re doing well.
just want to thank you, I was a bit put off/scared of prepping at first because the videos that I saw seemed extreme and I couldn't relate to the alarmist frenzied-ness, but your no nonsense, calm and informative way of showing people how to prep sensibly helps so much! I will be creating a channel in the next few months-not for prepping, but for beginners to the instrument I play, and I will be definitely trying to emulate your calm, no nonsense, you can do it approach. Thanks again!
Just watching this video 3 years later. Thanks for sharing! It’s great info!
I have watched some of these channels. However, your has been one I always come back to. Additionally, it is the only one I have subscribed to.
I’ve watched videos from most of the channels you’ve mentioned. What I appreciate about your channel is the level of detail you put in your videos. I noticed that you happen those TH-camrs videos playing in the laptop as you showcased them. Nice!
BTW great tease with the Urban Prepper altoid tin.
Thank you! I'm glad someone noticed the videos playing in the background. I like including little things like that in my videos. I'm hoping for the new Altoids video to go live next Saturday.
Had only heard of a couple of these! Very cool to see who inspires us.
Man this video takes me back!!! I used to love to watch all of these!
The idea of doing a TH-cam channel certainly crosses my mind every now and then, inspirations currently:
- TheUrbanPrepper (not sure if you know him ;) , mainly his organisation and level headedness on the topic, also like his inclusion of (using input from) the audience on actual topics.
- DavidCanterbury (mainly his no-nonsense approach, also fairly heavily DIY and Knowledge/Skill based, also like his interaction with his followers, always open on what's coming up and where he will be, even though it's basically non of our business)
- CanadianPrepper (Mainly like his heavily researched videos, and also theory crafting on subjects concerning prepping)
- PrepperPotporri (Mainly her level headedness, and wide range of topics, also like the down to earth approach, there is a certain 'if she can do it, i should certainly be able to as well; especially if she details how she does it' , coming from her videos, i'dd hope to be able to achieve the same; also like her motto of sharing information )
- PrimitiveTechnology (Mainly the 'create things from bare resources', something i think is sometimes missing from the PrepperCommunity, 'we hoard' but what if all of that is used? and lets face it, if you can captivate 2mil+ users without saying a word)
- TheMainePrepper (only reruns now :( … but this channel made me realize i am a prepper, and not just somebody interested in outdoor stuff, if it wasn't for his videos, i likely wouldn't be here. Mainly his level headedness on the subject, he was an instructor in the military and that would show in his videos, a mix of humor and good info and common sense.
- PraxisPrepper might be an inspiration to some extend too, while my channel would be nothing like his, i do like his videos, sense of humor and his production quality is pretty dang high, to a point where you don't even notice that it is so high because it somehow still looks somewhat amateurish. Seeing i haven´t made a video in like ever, his production level would certainly be an aspiration to reach for.
Honorable mention would probably be:
- ZedOutdoors (or MCQ Bushcraft, but that channel sort of changed itself, so Zed it is now), I like his drive on the subject of bushcraft and his willingness to learn (also his dry English humor), he can make 2h long 'Zedocumentaries' is call them, on say woodbowl turning on a pole lathe, going really into detail of every aspect, generally from his own wanting to learn angle, so asking a lot about the why's and how's.
I remember you from wayyyy back. Good to see doing well! ETP.
We successfully did a fire evacuation drill today with the local fire dept at our condo complex. As folks were checking in we gave them the FEMA’s simple 72 hour Go Bag list and surveyed how many had started or completed a GoBag. A surprising number had. Several were working on their 14 day kit. A lot of progress over last year, but we did have a wildfire near by that inspired people to get off their butts. I did make a few referrals to your channel to folks that were wondering about what kind of GoBag they should have at work in The City. Told one guy about your video that had you use door wedges to block open an exit route.
I really enjoy your videos, sounds like a lot of heart and thought goes into everything you do and I appreciate that definitely one of the best channels out here. Thanks again
That's very kind of you, you deserve all your success. Keep up the great work and someday I'll buy you that coffee
I'm looking forward to taking you up on that offer! I'll be in your neck of the woods in the first two weeks of August. Will you be around or will you be out fighting wildfires?
I have watched a few of those channels also.. Your channel was the first channel I actually subbed to. That being said you have had an influence on my way of thinking about preparedness. Thank you for that inspiration.
I'm subbed to a few of those channels.
I only touch a little on preparedness... mostly outdoor stuff though.
Thanks for the video
Great job and congratulations. I'm across the water from you in Kitsap. Living in the Seattle area seems like a survival situation all in itself.
Nicely done! You know, sometimes I have listened to Nutnfancy talk for an hour about something I don't want.
I watch you all the time and you do an excellent job. I watch a bunch of preppier channels and have not seen any of those you mentioned. Will take a look. Thanks!
Aww, you didn’t mention mine. Hehe. Great mentions! I have been watching the same and yours from the start. Warm regards DP.
p.s. I loved RoscoeBa’s channel. She stopped making them. I wish she would make them again.
Outstanding video thanks for sharing! A couple of those channels I never heard of, definitely going to check them out! And Thank you for all the excellent videos and gear reviews that you produce! Your time and effort is very much appreciated!!!
I started putting all my prepping gear watching your videos... always very helpful....
I've watched a lot of your vids and liked you already, but this one seals the deal. Thanks for being a good human.
Wow! Thank you so much, Casey!
Wow you've pretty much surpassed all of these YT channels great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Great recommendations! I’m headed to add to their subscriptions now!
Great video. Didnt hear of any of them besides nut fancy but now youve given me more channels to watch and take advice from. Keep up the great information filled videos.
Whoo, woke up and Urban Prepper has uploaded! Welcome back!
From what I've seen in your vids, you've accomplished your stated inspiration-emulation goals! Thanks for taking the time to credit your influences and I'll definitely check out their channels!
That really means a lot to me. That's what I've always wanted. Thank you for your support!
Analytical Survival is best of the best!!
Great videos will try hard, Urban Prepper. This is a excellent. Will check these channels.
A good selection of Channel there, I'll have to check them out too....
For me it's all about realism whilst avoiding product promotion... Inspiring and creating new ideas is a must.... many smaler channels have some great content.... (everyone starts from somewhere). . . .
Good reviews.
Thank you for sharing, much appreciated. Cheers!
thank You so much 🇺🇸
I'm subbed to all of those but Element Survival and RoscoeBA, and I definitely want to check out some of the vids you posted. Some of the oldies have slowed down or left YT. Thanks for the nostalgic reminders.The videography in some of Nutn's old videos was near professional level. They were/are awesome to watch.
You've been subscribed to my channel since the very beginning. You're right about Nutn's production quality. Top notch.
Yep, we go way back and I've long been a fan. Your original ideas and organizational skills are the best, and the effort you put into your vids is obvious.
Your still making videos I started watching you 6 years ago when I was 8 and you made your urban bug out bag videos
"You name it..." Take a shot everytime and you are drunk.😋😁
Thanks bro. Nice Video !
LOL!!
You are in my Top 5!
There are a few more worth mentioning that probably just slipped your mind, but which are hugely influential... TheOutdoorGearReview, MCQ Bushcraft & Wildnerness Life, Wranglestar, Dutch Bushcraft Knives, Survival Lilly, Steve1989MREInfo, Prepareminded101. There are many many more, but these are some of my favorites that you didn't mention.
Those are great ones too! The ones that I listed were my top ones, but I imagine everyone has their own list of favorites.
Sensible Prepper, Skinny Medic, City Prepping, and Iridium 142 (Plus Urban Prepper): all level headed non inflammatory useful channels.
I'm subbed to half of those mentioned and add yours to the list.
Great! Some of them don't post anymore, but I still enjoy their older content.
I'm almost done my BOB, at the end of my video I have listed you as an inspiration. will send you the link when it's done.
Thanks Cliff!!
You're welcome!
Wandering beast I ran into a long time ago. The motorcycle community is pretty tight based to the type of riding you do. After the Seattle quake and the massive grid lock I bought my first dual sport ( aka adventure bike ) and equipped it over the years as a bug out vehicle.

Man where have you been?? Great content
Your videos are great, and make prepping seem accessible and something anyone can do. Plus your channel is super-family friendly! It's any wonder these channels inspired you to do more.
I'm a firm believer in the AMP-3 medical kits, and was watching a Steve1989MREInfo video about a recent survival kit aircrews are given. The medical supplies contained within were very similar to USNERDOC's kits, even down to the Moore Medical brand name. I'm thinking "wow, the IFAK is awesome, but now it's MORE awesome!"
Great video! Thanks for your hard work. Ive been a Nuttnfancy fan for years.
Well I wrote them all down and I'll join all of them I want to thank you for that I like prepper videos not that I can do very much of it but the gadgetry and all that I just really like them I appreciate it thank you.
That's nice of you to do a shoutout for them.
Very interesting. For kit building , it was You, GQ Prepper, and mezilch
I'm honored to be included with those other two. They're great!
Maineprepper was my favorite channel
He was one of my favorite channels too. I would love to hear about him and how he’s doing.
Hello! When will you post the video about the Altaid kit? Greeting from Spain!
I'm shooting for next Saturday.
Great Vid! Yikes, I feel so much better learning that your say: um in your videos. I feel so self conscious when I say that in my videos. FYI, You really played a part in why I started making videos. LOL, I have 22 subscribers now!
I like it
beast is the man. i got all my info from him when i got into wildland fire
The thing that gets me is that most of these channels are no longer putting out videos.
DEMCAD is worth checking out
Anyone know what happened to Equip2Endure? Enjoyed that channel. I felt so bad when he lost Ace.
Wondering Beast was the man back in the day :)
I agree. I love his videos.
Forgot about Equip 2 Endure, he hasn’t posted a video in. A year now..does anyone know why? Maine Prepper was my first to Subscribe to.
Many of the channels you listed quit posting a year ago or more
Yep. Unfortunately, good channels don't always stick around, especially if they've been around for a decade or so. I'm one of the old relics.
Pretty sure if you're into preparedness and know about YT, you know of or are a member of TNP lol
he use to be a hat?
Hey
Hey!
You have a good channel so no offense but nut a fancy did a review on something he didn't even have or had used so can't back you on that one but that's me.
It looks like he isn't 100% on that anymore. Back in 2010-2011 I don't think this would have happened. I don't watch his videos as much anymore, but did a lot back in the early days.
Great list of mentors. I used to really enjoy USFreedom22 I think his vids are what got me interested in the community. Like you, I tended to like the more level headed rational types than the loud, lets shoot up the world channels.
First
DOOD
Anybody remember Maineprepper?
Yes. I miss Maineprepper. He had a very calming voice on serious subjects.
I wonder what really happened with him.
@@leed3796 I too have wondered that. Some have said that it had something to do with Patriot nurse but idk.
........
Why you use that taliban cap? change for a western hat thanks
Haha... I didn't know that the Taliban wore Kangol's. I was going with more of the Seattle Hipster look for my Gray Man disguise.
