Embedding is disabled on this video (which is a shame since it's the most viewed video on the channel) so I'll just have to link it:

He goes over a ton of different gear and principles, and explains why it's important to pack properly and keep it light.

Bushcraft Bear
He actually has a lot of channels, most of them haven't been posted on in a long time, seemingly abandoned.
He gained a lot of notoriety covering the La Palma volcanic eruption in 2021, but confusingly, basically all his videos from that era are gone and the last one that appears on the channel is from 5 years ago.

How to keep the marauding hordes from taking your food away from you when the SHTF? Hide it in plain sight. Their homestead looks uncultivated, but everything there is edible.

Here's a well-made documentary about an endearing couple who experienced trouble in their gated community and moved out to the sticks. It points up the importance of land ownership.

If you have flowing water on your property, there are tons of videos about building a DIY hydroelectric dam.

The ranchers use ponds in my area. They are hella smart. There were a lot of Mormons too up here, who are pros with water. They also have wells too.

It's the high desert. Also, Western foothill type landscape.

You evidently don't live in California. As near as I can tell, they're complete idiots when it comes to managing water. They have more water than they know what to do with when the snow melts in the mountains. Drought the rest of the time.

Yes, you are right! I live in Arizona, the ranchers here are smart, compared to the morons in Cali. I'm from Cali, lol.

Yeah, creeks and running water are pretty alien to me, being from the Southwest.
But it is basically the same mechanincs of building a windmill yourself.
I've seen a lot of people with them up here in my part of Arizona. We have strong winds.
I have solar on the roof of my shed. It pumps out a lot of power, here in AZ.

Control panel. I have solar panels on the roof, and lithium batteries in the black tub.

From my balcony, I can see a building that has 18 or 24 (depending on which source you believe) vertical wind turbines on the roof, claimed to generate over 85,000 kilowatts per year.
