I have recently moved from one house that I liked to another house that I kind-of like. The impetus for this move was that my in-laws are dealing with aging-related issues, and my spouse and I refuse to consign her parents to the assisted-living/nursing home/funeral home pipeline.
We've moved from a modest home to what would easily be described as the "Cadillac of the Neighborhood." It's a sprawling ranch with a walk-out basement on a lot four times what I had before, in a twenty-home HOA (a whole other topic...) on a cul-de-sac.
Because I'm weird, I'm looking at this new-to-me house as an opportunity to overhaul my disaster preparedness planning and caches. Central to this forum, I'm reassessing how I store my firearms compared to the prior house, but I'm also thinking more about providing for my in-laws, with their reduced mobility (compared to my own less-than-when-I-was-forty mobility).
So, of course, I'm thinking about how to arrange my garage, and about how to configure the unfinished parts of the basement, and so on.
As with any preparations, I'm keenly aware that skills will get me through times with fewer resources more than expensive gadgets will help if I don't know how to use them.
As mentioned, the neighborhood has an HOA. The head of the HOA has granted me permission to build a fence (to contain my dogs). Nothing in the CC&R document addresses vegetable gardens, so we figure to have one in coming months/years. Nothing in the CC&R document prevents me collecting rain water for use in my garden or to be filtered for consumption, and I know how to do that.
But, to the point of the title, what are folks' favorite prepper channels? What advice seems to work best for you?

1Eventually I'll figure out this signature thing and decide what I want to put here.
