*I need to once again hype John Robb at Resilient Communities. He offers a free weekly newsletter and also a paid monthly newsletter (both of which I receive and rate very highly). In a world awash with low-end survivalist porn (this site included), John offers simple and unadulterated advice that promotes resilience without getting hung up on weapons and gear.
*I also need to once again hype John L Peterson's The Arlington Institute, which offers a free monthly newsletter called The Future Edition. The Future Edition is one of my favorite monthly reads. Over the years John's interpretation of current world events has taken a decidedly spiritual turn, and I am OK with that...although I question the validity of some things he discusses (such as UFO sightings and crop circles). Still, he promotes the belief that humanity stands at a crossroads and that the way to embrace the future (and present) is to let go of the past and find new ways of being...and I can't argue that!
*Lastly, let's not forget to donate money to legit and responsible nonprofit entities that promote self-sufficiency and resilience in disadvantaged communities. My own favorite nonprofits include Solar Cookers International, The Prison University Project at San Quentin State Prison, the Santa Cruz Homeless Garden Project and the Walker/Hupp Fund which pays for kids to attend Headwaters Outdoor School in Shasta.

A scathing YELP review so inadvertently perfect that the proprietor of the
(local) business taped it to the front window for all to see. My favorite bookstore.
