About

Urban preparedness for real city life. I create family-friendly videos focused on power outages, home readiness, food and water basics, and practical gear I actually use. My content is designed for people living and working in modern cities, not remote wilderness settings. With a background in software engineering, I approach preparedness through planning, organization, and real-world testing. Kits and systems are treated like open-source projects viewers can adapt. Business Inquiries: I work with brands aligned with urban emergency preparedness, including power solutions, emergency gear, medical, food/water, and everyday carry. Due to volume, I cannot respond to all inquiries. Please include product relevance, budget, deliverables, and timeline. I do not typically cover unrelated categories such as lifestyle products, fashion, or home décor.
