Alreet YouTube and fellow Preppers this is Geordie
Prepper. I wasn't originally tagged by
Prepper Potpourri for the seven questions
vr but because of my stupid big mouth i
did end up getting tagged so here are the
seven questions
vr if you haven't already checked out
Prepper Potpourri's channel she does really great
things regarding preparedness and she
has an excellent channel. Question one
Why do you do YouTube? Predominantly it is
to give back to the community that I've
already received so much from
information and I wanted to do something
which gave back to the community and it
seems only right to do it on the
platform which I was already learning
the information from which is youtube so
basically i started the channel to give back
and I was started to obviously have my
own things that I wanted to put up there
and the reason that I've made the
channel a bugging in channel was because
I couldn't really find a channel that
specifically dealt with bugging in
because obviously there are some people
which simply can't bug out because they
have some sort of physical disability
or even a severe mental disability this
will not enable them to be able to do
the bug out scenario and a lot of the
channels simply were people running around
going into the woods setting up
tents and everything and there was some
people which just obviously won't be
able to do this they just don't have the
physical ability to do it and I wanted
to give information and support to those
people.
Question 2 Where did your channel name
come from?
Well it comes from the people who live
in the area that i live in and I went
back to the roots and i'm located here
in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East of
England and you know we are Geordies here in
this area it's who we are
it's what we are it's what we speak so I
just decided to call the channel Geordie
Prepper. I couldn't find any other channel which
was called that many of the other names
that already thought about using they
were already taken so this I just landed
on it and I'm just rolling with it for
now
at some point in the future if i change
location i may change the name of the
channel but for now you know it's it's
going to stay this for the very
foreseeable future for sure.
Question 3 How long have you been on
YouTube
well if you go to the description page
on the channel and i just posted a
screenshot of it up here, you can see that
I've been on the channel since 20th
April 2013
Question 4 What do you record your
videos with. I just record them with a
simple small compact camera it's a canon
powershot s120 I believe. Question 5 Do you
make your own thumbnails? Yes i do all my
own work they're all based on
photographs that I've taken it's all my
own our work that I produce and
I'm hoping to improve upon it as time
goes by.
Question 6 Who does your intro and outtro?
the intros are all me they're all based on
images that i've taken photographs I've
taken myself i simply overlay the
channel name Geordie Prepper over the front
of it and put some movement in of it and
the other intro sequences they're based
on images that i took along Jesmond Dene
which is an area also here in Newcastle
the outro is again it's just an image of
the millenium bridge that's just one of
the bridges that go over the Tyne river
i just put the social media buttons
contact information on there so people
can contact me
youtube have also recently done an
upgrade to the end screens which you can
see when you hover over a recommended
video that i put up and they have also
improved the subscribe button so YouTube
do their part in the outtro as well.
Question 7 Do you think you'll ever
quit youtube? I can't think of any
reasons myself why would quit YouTube
and for this foreseeable future can't
think of a reason why i think that
people do have to realise that the whole
preparedness community, alternative
community is heavily suppressed on
youtube so i think if there's any reason
for preparedness community channels to
move to another platform for put you
know of a independent media to move and
people who are trying to give really
good quality content that actually
matters i think if any reason for them
to leave YouTube will simply to be down
the YouTube itself and the people that
own YouTube and those that simply don't
find this the the communities
sustainable they don't want the
community to to be to be viewable to be
seen
I mean just think to yourself when was
the last time that you saw a
preparedness video on the trend i've
never seen one in all the years I've
been on YouTube to you know I think
those obviously a reason for that
alright guys so thank you very much for
watching and listening hope you've
learned a little bit about myself about
the channel and you know why I do it and
where we're going in the future it's my
turn to tag now so i think this should
be something that keeps going for a
little longer so I'm going to tag
creative redundancy, everything there is
and urban resilience
these are all great channels and Prepper
Potpourri's channel and the channels that i've
tagged will be linked in the description
box below so again and as always be safe
and be prepared
