I have missed your channel because you are one of the only ones who stay away from the “fear porn”. You are a class act. Hope to see you back, but understand you must do what is best for you. I will continue to go back to your old videos for reference! 😊Wish you all the best.

Sure miss your videos. Probably not your typical audience, I'm 60ish, and a widow. Your lists and calm straightforward approach has been a big help. Thank you.

My wife thinks I’m a big nerd because of you, but appreciates when I’m prepared. You’re the best!

So glad you are back! Missed you :) I love your sense of organization and kit building.We need more positive channels like yours. I HATE fear porn and I am sad that so many prepping channels have went that direction. I was also sad that so many KZread viewers viewed these videos and often went down the conspiracy rabbit holes. We need to have channels that celebrate the joy in life while preparing for the unexpected as best as we can.

100% on the fear porn. Cough Canadian cough. Beyond the nonsense, it leads to people making poor financial decisions and eventually may well lead to worse preparedness as none of the previous 6000 apocalypses predicted in any given year don’t come to fruition.

What conspiracy?

I always appreciated your common sense way of prepping! You’ve helped me more than anyone trying to do “analysis”. Nobody can predict the future. That’s what prepping is all about! Thank you for what you’ve done for the community

I miss the "nerdy" prepping. You are one of the preppers that got me started in prepping and got me preparing for different scenarios. I am even prepared at work thanks to you. I am not a fan of how the prepping channels have evolved... But it is what it is.

Hey Cliff I appreciate you. Yours was the very first prepper channel I started watching; I'll never be a wilderness person and urban prepping totally speaks to me. And I LOVE your color coding ideas. That's how I got started with my preps

So good to see you Cliff. God Bless you Brother...

Good to see you are back and healthy. Wishing you and your family all the best.

You do you. Those of us who get you will continue to watch and learn from you. I've missed your how to videos as I live in the PNW also and they have been helpful.

Your EDC videos always respark my excitement and I rewatch them every few seasons!

You inspired me and guided me with your lists to create "go bags" for each of my family members...which they still have! Many thanks.

We have to be careful we don't let prepping become counterintuitive, where feeling compelled to prepare to stay alive actually takes over our life itself. Good to see you again and glad you are in a better space :)

Hey Cliff, great to see you back & thanks for the updates. We always enjoyed your channel & still use many of the elements we learned from your channel. Well done for making the choices you needed to make to stay true to yourself. Much respect, sir. 🤘😎

Glad you are ok Cliff. Great to see you back, I’ve missed your videos. A true foundation of this topic online. I’ve learnt a lot from you over the years. 👍🏻👍🏻

Cliff! Hello!! So glad to hear from you and that you are doing well! I have missed your videos and the organization pdfs. Would never done a bug out bag without such a great list. Thank you taking care of your self and doing some self care. I have rewatched so many of your videos but it’s nice to see you are still at it. All the best from California.

Cliff glad to see you again. I love your videos and information you talk about. I know exactly what you mean. I have been feeling the fear big time. I know I need to step away and take a break. I prep but I don’t need to consume the fear 24/7. It’s so you you could take the break and actually talk about it. You saying how you felt and needed a break was really good to hear. I feel that will help a lot. Thank you. Take care and I look forward to watching your videos and less of the fear I feel I have to check in on daily which I have been doing. If we do what we need to do to prepare and get organise that’s great and that’s all we can do. ❤

Great to see you Cliff. Glad you were able to step back and focus on family and your mental well being. If you want to make videos just do what you're interested in, your enthusiasm will naturally inspire others. Have always appreciated your perspective and calm balance. You are certainly appreciated. God bless you and your family in whatever you decide to do.

I am sooooooooooooo happy to see you! Glad you are back and DONT CHANGE A THING. Your style is what people enjoy. I want PDF's ..... Gimme PDF's!!! :)

I’ve learned so much from the content you’ve made for us all. I totally understand the need to unplug and focus on family. If you make more videos I’ll be happy to see them. If you find you’re too busy with other things I’ll be happy for you that you’re out living your best life. Much appreciation for the fun content you’ve already put out.

The planning/organizing video that you did as a collab for 30 days of preparedness had been an inspiration to me. It is a goal I’ve yet to achieve. I’m into nerdy PDFs.

So happy to see you on here again. I also enjoyed your videos on cleaning old headstones. Thank you

So Happy your back!!!!! I totally relate to all you said in this video. I'm so glad you took time out for your mental health and your family. Both are very important. I don't watch the news anymore, I read it. It seems to not stress me out as much. I have encouraged all my family and friends to watch your videos since I started watching. 100% of them are now prepping. That's all because of you!! Thank You! Many other channels are so fear based that it turns people off. I can't tell you how much you've helped me just from the fact my family and friends are prepping now. I tend to want to take care of people so I worry when they are not prepared but now they are taking care of themselves so I don't worry about them. Yay!! Mrs Urban Prepper!!! Maybe she could do some videos with you?!! There are so few woman Preppers making videos. Would Love to see some Woman/Mom EDC video's. Some Video Ideas: I would love to see a video of why you have different phones and what kind you have. Altoids kits for kids. You inspired me to make Altoids 1st aid kits for the car for all my family this last Christmas. They LOVED them! Again, Thank You! Maybe a live stream of you and your wife talking about prepping as a couple. It might help those of us who have reluctant spouses. Flying/traveling with preps on vacation or for work. I love the idea of live stream interviews! Live stream on any topic is fun and informative!! And best of all it's less work for you. As many people have said, It's great to see you!

Nice to see you, glad you are doing well. I really enjoyed your videos.

I'm glad you took the time to take care of yourself. I'm glad you are back though. I used to subscribe to about a half dozen prepper channels but pretty much cut that down to you. I'd love to see you refresh or continue the car prep series and anything about organizing your preps!

Good to see you buddy. Always appreciated your brand of “prepping”. We started a channel and are doing it for the same reasons.

I loved your color coded pantry video. I tried it right away and it's the only pantry organizing that's worked for me, still going without an issue. So thank you so much!

Glad to hear about your adventures away from KZread. You're what inspired me to create my own channel and it was a BLAST to collaborate with you as well! We're always going to support you, no need to apologize to us, Preppers know family comes first. Stay safe out there TUP!

Love your stuff Cliff. Every holiday season I put out the TUP family card in haz-mat suits.. and I laugh every time I do it. Videos were all very relevant from what to do/have if you're in an office building that has an emergency to carrying a sillcock key which I do to this day when I'm in the city. Thanks for the laughs and great information, hope there's more to come.

Cliff yes we love your channel. Learning prepping stuff with great ideas without news, being scared. Great to prepare for all things besides wars and countries not being civil to each other. Nz has just had a worst cyclone we have even had in our history. Learning great skills is so good to have 😊

Hi, Cliff! Glad you're still around! I always found your ideas well thought out and your videos very well done! Hope you're not totally finished with all that!

Your channels have always been an icon and leader upon which all the others were formed. Legendary. Love your channels. Still the best and still relevant

I miss all of those organization videos and the pdfs. I really enjoyed the Home Prepping System you created. That helped me get started on my own home preps.

You are awesome Cliff. Glad to see ya back and I agree with you 100% on the shift in the community post covid/🇺🇦 . I have taken a huge break from watching any prepping videos as well just because it began just causing extra stress and anxiety. It was disappointing to see great thoughtful channels just turn into current events fear porn. Your positivity and relaxing nature in this channel was always my favorite. Huge respect for speaking up honestly about where you've been. Things still aren't amazing, but we're in a better place than we were, and I'm happy for that 🍻 Cheers!

While I miss all your EDC and prepping videos and reviews ( you are meticulous and really thorough) and I have gleaned a lot information…I am glad you are putting family first. I know exactly how you feel…prepping was overwhelming me (fear, doom, and gloom). While I still prep…I have completely changed my thoughts on gloom and doom prepping and focused more on family. We still garden and can a lot of our food, we do mostly for grown kids and family’s. Love your content and look forward to anything you put out for everyone. I love the nerdy content. 😅

I unsubbed from all the fearp0rn prepper channels during 2022 so I could focus on 'doing the things', not freaking out about stuff I can't control. Totally understand you needing to take time out to take care of family & work.

Your style and mindset is refreshing and has been missed. I feel like the straight prepping (not current events) videos are every bit as relevant now. Things are more dangerous now and it seems like there is a new emergency every week. I have had to completely stop watching some of the other guys. I miss your videos and spreadsheets! And I am all in for the garage sale and meetup. I'm in Tacoma and work in Seattle. So I always hope to run into you sometime.

TUP, I'm glad you're back here. Between you and Chris @ City Prepping, I like your style and peaceful presentation of Prepping as a personal need, not an impending crisis. I used to live in WA and moved away due to the politics and direction of the West Coast. Hope all is well and please bring content back. Be you and continue to put your heart as you always do, into it.

Hi Cliff, Always great info.

I totally missed the livestream but most importantly I missed YOU!! I noticed you were gone and didn’t wanna bug ya, just thought you needed time away and I totally get that. I love your brand and I hate how this space kind of makes you feel pressured to go one way or another in the prepping world. I hate the fear porn too. We can still be prepared and talk about news but man, no need for the fear porn. You’re awesome and keep being you! Missed you!!!

Glad to see you back!

Great to see you again. As you make some great videos that are about the sort of prepping I like without all the fear crap.

TUP, you haven't missed much since you've been gone. Lots of channels now are just a guy sitting in his car talking about the end of the world or his secret contact gave him top secret information. You and City Prep are the best channels on YT‼️‼️🙏👍

Just from my point of view I just enjoy your vid’s I love the information you bring to the world.

no wonder. always watched you specially during the lockdown. missed you man…

I just want to comment on a few parts of the first 15 minutes of this video. You mentioned a video "fell on his face" oh, I remember that video and it was done very well but here's the thing.. I've noticed a lot of KZread content makers seemed to blame the video they made and all their hard work or themselves for a video not doing well in getting lots of used or lots of likes whatever metric they measure it by. But that is not the case! Many times people are distracted by world events or something going on on a weekend or possibly a competing KZread channel or even this guy who work for KZread named Al Go-rhythms and any of those or a combination of those can make a great video and all your hard work seem not to pay off. But it's just like doing great work at a job and not being noticed for it and other times you get noticed for things that you don't work hard on. There's just such a randomness to what becomes a hit/popular that I wish all KZread content makers would realize that they should never blame themselves. Just try to do good content and move on. My last thought is that from what you've explained it sounds like you made the exact right decision, both for you and for your viewers. We were all getting Overexposed to the fear push in the mainstream media and everywhere else. Thank you for not making videos when you didn't think it was right for you at that time. We all know that fear based news gets the attention more than helpful tips, even though we all wish that wasn't true. So thank you for what you did before and thank you for not making videos and thank you for coming and explaining your choice. You did the right thing.

I get it and I respect you more for not doing more videos. I see all the "fear porn" and dislike it immensely. Being prepared is a mindset, we cannot control what happens in the world whether it be natural or man made and folks trading on the topics like preparedness and edc is a turn off. I think it is important to live in the moment, glad you were redirect that energy back into your family. Glad you checked in on this channel, I was wondering a couple of weeks ago what happened to you.

Although I'm considerably poor, I have thousands of dollars on prepping I wonder if I'm crazy and why some people aren't worried at all. I hope to see you make some new videos soon. Thank you

Have so missed your content!

This is what they call a Digital CLEANSE. I'm glad you're feeling better. I have to say it: I HATE the 'Current Events' fear-orn genre. I watch prepping and homesteading channels because I want to LEARN about prepping and homesteading. I want to see preppers teaching about how they prep and what they do with what they have and what they have and how to use them and what they plan to do with them etc. I've learned about EDC gear, BOB gear, and the differences between GHB and INCH bag and their philosophies. I'm learning about pantry organization and stocking up and rotation. (I need more PDFs!) I feel like I still have much more to learn... but because of the current-events-fear-porn TREND, I've run out of real teachers. (Including some of the guys I've counted on for rational sanity, such as City Prepping.) IF you have a whole new system of organization, I want to hear about it so I can decide if I want to learn about that. Does this work in conjunction with the Colors of Prepping? Is it a new-and-improved CoP system? Or totally new and different? You got a lotta esplainin' to do. I'll add on to your list of video ideas. Now that your wife is canning... you've got to design and build a new set of pantry shelves, with an eye toward (a) fitting canning jars neatly... (b) easy Inventory... and (c) EASY FIFO food rotation. AND make the Wife happy. LOL I'm looking forward to that video.
