Are We Prepping For The Wrong Apocalypse?

Who is prepping for climate change? Possibly only 2 prepper Youtube Channels!!

Canadian Prepper

&

City Prepping

Other than these 2 a foray into British prepping has produced a field dominated by funkyprepper & the Prepper Shop, the 2 at one time were linked I believe.

Funkyprepper is definitely obsessed with his followers, YouTube is his bugle and market place. It would appear that he is cornering the Prepping stage for the Bushcraft Show too.

The question I would have for the Bushcraft Show is this? Funkyprepper regularly puts out anti immigration, Anti LGBTQ, anti public health and safety content and disputes NHS England guidelines on health and the wearing of masks during periods of the pandemic. He gives no advice on climate change & the ecological catastrophe or the 6th Mass Extinction we are currently experiencing, he does not believe in Anthropogenic Climate Change. He is giving duff advice about heatwaves and its dangerous. (See my post on why Severe Heat is More Dangerous than Severe Cold)

Historic Heat, Climate Emergency Forum. 

In fact I don’t think any British Prepper Channel talks about the compound human risk factors associated with the Anthropocene.

“The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems.”

I would hope that the Bushcraft Show would be an inclusive organisation, after all we want lots of people to learn skills which could be useful in an uncertain future.

I note also that there is an interest in permaculture too. There are no anthropocegenic climate change deniers in the permaculture community.

Bushcraft show you can do better than this. Ray Mears on YouTube says it as it is. “If we don’t act now it will be too late”.

This is our business as nature lovers. 

I have to just add Canadian Preppers take on Burning Man & the Climate Apocalypse. This is what prepping is about, understanding our predicament, not talking about idiots like David Ike.
