Looking for good, serious books on prepping. Getting into it from blogs or youtube channels is terrible.

Get an organic farming/gardening textbook. The most important skill you can have is the ability to cultivate your own food at high levels without using artificial pesticides and fertilizers. In the event of collapse farmers who rely on that shit will die quickly, but organic farmers who rely on composting, crop rotation, crop diversity, cover cropping, etc. will survive indefinitely if they aren’t killed by an outside entity.

You're thinking about nuclear winter. That's a step up from societal collapse.

The $50 and above underground house book
The Humanure Handbook Joseph Jenkins, unless you just want to shit innawoods and accidentally drink your own shit and die after it's runoff into the creek
As >>16775301 was saying
Holistic Management Allan Savory
Anything from Acres USA though Joel Salatin, Greg Judy, Gabe Brown, Jerry Brunetti, and William Albrecht are foundational and you can mostly ignore the rest
Tree Crops John Russell Smith

If a person is a genuine "prepper" they will be ready to accept the fact that farming is the only career path that won't leave you starving at someone else's mercy after you eat through your 500 cans of beans and spam.

preppers are worthless
look for homesteaders instead
