This channel's goal is to help everyday people learn the basics of survival in times of crisis. With over 80% of Americans living in an Urban/Suburban environment, many lack the basics to ensure they have the necessary food, water, medical skills, and security in the event of a catastrophe. City Prepping's chief aim is to help provide survival basics for everyday people that are practical and easy to implement to be prepared should calamity strike.

The author of the channel spent his childhood in the outdoors learning practical skills in Boy Scouts, earned a degree in MicroBiology from UT Austin, has spent time with non-profits and NGOs working in nations such as Afghanistan and in impoverished areas of Mexico, and currently works in the tech industry. Living in Southern California under the threat of "the big one" (earthquake), the need to learn how to prepare for a very catastrophic event has led Kris to spend many hours studying and preparing his own household.

If you're in Florida, I hope you'll listen to the warnings and evacuate while you can. Please stay safe and don't take unnecessary risks.

I'm working on my video script for the whole-home solar generator comparison video (I hope to have it out this weekend). I've got a new mascot for the channel who loves sleeping anywhere there's a cool floor. Meet Romulus. We'll pick up his sister, Remus, on Thursday. They're both Grand Pyrenees. I'm learning quickly that he's very smart and very stubborn.
