Urban Survival Podcast

ITRH iTunes Artwork 300x300 Urban Survival Podcast After years of being frustrated that no one was fully addressing the concerns of urban survivalists, Aaron Frankel and Jonathan Kanarek took to the web and founded ‘In The Rabbit Hole’ in February of 2010. They are two city boys with a lifetime affinity for the outdoors, but a love of the city and passion for survival topics.

In The Rabbit Hole is about focusing first on the things that matter most and that are most likely to happen, and preparing for them in a rational and productive way. These priorities of urban survival come from the focal points of Community, Health and Intelligence – referred to as “Survival CHI”.

Through blog articles and a weekly podcast, Aaron and Jonathan tell readers and listeners to “Stay safe and sound” – safe in person and sound in mind. Through tongue-in-cheek adult humor, they remind people that survival doesn’t have to be doom and gloom. If you’re not smiling, you’re not surviving.

From the Lone Star State, the dynamic duo reach out to people who are interested in taking personal responsibility for their own safety and well-being, and who just happen to live in the city.

What People Are Saying

First and foremost I would like to thank you guys for what I call a preppers breath of fresh air. You guys do things the way it should be done. Yeah, to each its own but the last thing we need is a chaotic environment when we ARE preparing for something which is most likely a bit chaotic itself.

The calm approach to survival without the paranoid, loud doomsday chant will actually encourage non preppers to see it as a positive way of life. They will see that are a lot of us that are more down to earth and don’t spend our entire budget on camping gear so that when the aliens arrive we head for the hills.

I also live in a urban area in the northeast and I plan to do the best I can to stay here.

Keep up the good work! I look forward to your podcast!

Practical Information for the massses

I am only a few episodes in but I really like the way this podcast is done. The hosts are what I would call normal guys. By that I mean they are not overtly political and they give practical advice for people on situations that are more likely to happen to them. While I think there could some sort of global pandemic or the electrical grid could get hacked, I know that I am going to suffer snow/ice storms, blackouts and tornadic activity and it is nice to hear ideas on how to deal with those issues.

This is a great prodcast!

Great sound quality and excellent content. This podcast focuses on disaster preparedness for the fast majority of us that live in an urban environment. The hosts of the podcast do a great job of pointing out the importance of practical preparedness as well as the development of various skills.

Through the looking glass

I started out gardening a couple of years ago. Made some pickles, jarred some tomatoes and started looking at food storage and skill sets long gone. That was my slow gradual slide into the prepper world. Problem was, most of who I was running into was a bit too fringe for me and my particular situation. These guys sound like my inner circle of friends. Good and REASONABLE information delivered with peaceful and intelligent spirits. All that without taking themselves too seriously. Keep up the good work guys. I am a loyal listener.
