From what I gather, most of these are boomer-occupied. That's fine if those are the best ones but I can't help but feeling their insight is a bit dated. I just want to know where the interesting stuff is from people that actually homestead/prep/do survivalism which is more strictly oriented toward these lifestyles

Most forums are dead, as the Nu-internet has funneled people onto apps and into like 4 big social media sites. You'd have better luck just patrolling this slow ass board for years on end.
Also your pic is 16 years out of date.

if you want to have a discussion i would say you'll need to deal with the boomers on either kikebook or one of the apps.
i just watch youtubers attempting things for new ideas and strategies.
talk in the comments if you must.

if i knew how to make my own 4chan i would make one where you have to post proofs you are a homesteader to comment. i hate how are the homesteader forums are full of people talking about their imaginary homestead

Nowadays its just the crops, but in olden times before the river was tamed the mississippi did use to change course over a wide area. Accounts of people with poor farms waking up to find they are rich because the river moved and they are now riverfront property. Or in 1876 the town of vicksburg woke up to find the river had cut a new course elsewhere and they now had no access to it.
It also probably would have moved over into the atchafalaya basin way to the west by now had we not forced it to stay in its historical channel

For small land holders in the USA the single best sources of food sustainability are chickens and or rabbits, with chickens being better overall. Larger land holders (over 5 acres) don't need to concern themselves with pic related as you can grow your own feed on that much land or just grow cattle/pigs and direct food plant crops. To hunt alone and get enough food to feed a single man in the SE USA you need to kill and dress at least 13 deer a year, which is unsustainable (if everyone did it the deer would be gone from the entire region within 12-24 months). Permaculture can be fairly prolific for food production if done correctly, on enough land, and with specialized species for the local climate. Even a desert climate is not prohibitive for total food production volume, as Opuntia fiscus-indica and Opuntia engelmannii (drought and cold hardier than fiscus-indica, but less prolific) can produce thousands of lbs of fruit (edible straight up, made into delicious jam, juice, and even wine/alcohol) and paddles (nopales) an acre with zero added water or soil amendments in climates with as little as 10-15 inches of annual precipitation.
For weapons, bows are the most sustainable. Wrought iron is also everywhere and easy to produce, the single easiest source is dry washes and bog/swamp soils. Clay production is stupidly easy with a 5 gallon bucket and some sheets and water and soil. Firearms are the least sustainable but can be sustained if you have advanced knowledge of chemistry, ores, smithing, and farming. Galena ore can give you both elemental sulfur (most precious black powder ingredient) and lead (bullets) when processed properly. Salt peter (potassium nitrate) is extracted from soils where animals and or humans have pissed and pooped on repeatedly, especially composted soils of that nature. And charcoal comes from burning wood resources obviously. BP is 75 parts salt peter with 15 parts charcoal with 10 parts sulfur. The finer charcoal the better the mix.

Not a bot. I've been posting here for 16 years this year, almost everyone else on here that isn't a bot is a newb and will call any actual effort and on topic information overload post "bots" or autists. Fact of the matter is, those people have actual decades of experiences relevant to those topics and fields and even polymath studies and are basically wizards to the unwashed masses which are generally, extremely naive and or stupid (and also don't know or care where their food comes from).
