Scott - Polish Government launches guide on how to survive Russian invasion, with tips including how to prepare for war and what to do if hostilities break out. It contains lots of the things we all think about; food, water, first aid, but sadly also contains topics like what to do if you’re living in an invaded area, how to interact with foreign troops, what to do if you’ve been taken captive. The 36 page pdf guide is in Polish, but the linked article translates & summarizes sections of the text.

INTRO
Eric –Welcome to episode 128. . . yes the actual 128 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded Aug 22 2021.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. As a first responder I have witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events. I started a small preparedness company to get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours.
Alan - I’m Alan, a safety trainer, first responder, security expert, and overall safety nerd.
Scott - First Responder splitting my time between Southern and Northern Ontario, I like learning things, and I don’t accept that things will always carry on as they have just because it would be convenient to me.
Carmen - I’m Carmen, based in BC, I’m a Micro-homesteader, wife, and general domestic guru from canning to quilting to yes, throwing an axe lol 😂 And I’m glad to be back here this week to join you guys!
Eric- Want to help support the show and keep the Canadian Prepper Podcast on the air? Buy some swag. We have both the Canadian Prepper Podcast T-Shirt and the tactical velcro patch at www.prepperpodcast.ca. All proceeds help keep the lights on, and the backup generator fueled!
Scott -If you’re enjoying the show, please take a few minutes and like us on Facebook, and submit a review on itunes. Also we want your feedback, good or bad, or just if there’s a topic you want us to cover. You can email us at feedback@prepperpodcast.ca
Eric – We have some content you’ll want to swipe right for in this episode. We’re going to start off with some preparedness related news. . Next we will let you know what we’ve done for preparedness this week. Then we’ll get into the main topic - Finding Like Minded Individuals.

Eric -
Emergency preparedness is a low priority for British Columbians: poll
- only 22% of British Columbians have established a meeting place with family or friends in the case of an emergency
- Just under three in 10 of the province’s residents have prepared a plan that includes how to get in touch with family or friends in case of an emergency.
- only 38% of British Columbians have bought or prepared an emergency kit with supplies they might need in case of an emergency

My usual interest in how supply chains, and our ‘just-in-time’ manufacturing are having trouble with the pandemic AND all sorts of natural disasters. I was listening to a different podcast, and it was looking at the slow slide of society, ‘the crumbles’ rather than a single cataclysmic event: global warming impacting the complex system of supply chains and such.
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
Scott - Overheard someone talking about my MAG friend, and how their plan during a zombie apocalypse was to go to my friend’s place… a good lesson in grey man values… On to Jeff, who has lots of stuff and lives at the address of....
Eric - Demo started on the house. . . that's why I missed last week, clearing the final things on our main floor.
Did some tightening of my network at home, updates, firewall review, etc
Alan - teaching, working, training, and building. Putting my generator to the test tomorrow as I get my hydro panel changed over
Carmen- prepped the guest room for guests coming in about a week or so, canned up 24 quarts of peaches, 18 pints of hamburger and with my husband got the trenches dug for irrigation in our yard! I think my house is on a bedrock of a gravel pit! We also harvested the potatoes, which weren’t as good as I had hoped and yesterday put all my things away from the fire pack up. the recent forest fire was only 3 km from my door..but across a whole 3 subdivisions and a gully…but we might have been evacuated so we packed up. That was eye opening for me! What do you actually take? I feel I made the right decisions in those few hours we were on alert but I’m redoing so so much now!
(Make sure you mention what these MAG and WAG letters mean.. not everyone knows what these stand for) CB
New Segment:W.A.M the Wide Area MAG
Scott - We all love learning things, and while there are some very intelligent people around here (present company excluded), there are lots of smart people out there with skills and talents we all want to learn from. We would love to hear from you at feedback@prepperpodcast.ca.
Who doesn’t love beef jerky, so we’d love to talk about food dehydration. Also, we want to look at preppers from around the world - I was talking to a friend with South African connections, and they take their preps seriously.
Don’t be intimidated, you don’t have to be an expert on the air, just tell us about things, even off air. If you have a great website or resource to share, we want to know. The whole idea is to share knowledge with our larger likeminded group.
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Scott: (I will redo all the stuff I’d typed up previously for this episode, main concept: having a well rounded set of skills is key. Plan: talk about the obvious ones, food, water, shelter, defence, equipment repair, medical, add points to those as hosts see fit, then start talking about other skills/points we would like in our MAG.)
This topic came out of a discussion with a few of my good friends, we were discussing the concept of ‘The Competent Man’ (I make no gender references here, the Competent Woman is far more common, cough - Carmen), it’s actually a concept in Literature to describe the stock character who just seems to know how to do everything. The quote that started all this, from Wikipedia, by Robert A HEINLEIN.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
— Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
For our eyes only—— > (Drat I can’t program a computer 😕) Carmen
In a situation where self-reliance, or Mutual Reliance is the key to survival, an entire set of skills will be needed. It’s great that you can defend yourself, but doesn’t help if you freeze to death because you can’t split firewood. It’s great that you can grow tons of food, but if you die of an infected wound not having any medical knowledge… You have a generator, but don’t know how to replace the spark plug…
So the idea is that as a MAG, you have a whole set of useful skills at the entire group’s disposal. I’d love to have Ben Peterson around to help with wood gasifiers and repairing things. Carman’s canning knowledge would be an asset to any group.
I figure we’ll cover some of the low hanging fruit, water, food, shelter, defence, power, medical, then we can move into some other ideas which maybe we having thought of previously:
WATER:
Procuring it, cleaning it, storing it, camping filters
FOOD:
Gardening, livestock, hunting, trapping, preserving it!
SHELTER:
Security and warmth, energy efficiency
DEFENCE:
Knowing equipment, reloading, repairs
POWER:
Generators, solar, fuel storage, wood gasifiers
MEDICAL:
First aid, longer term ‘there’s no help coming’ medical needs, reusing medical equipment meant to be single use. ‘Home remedy’ cures using things more easily available or procurable.
REPAIRS:
Having tools, spare parts, the knowledge to use them. Electrical, water systems, plumbing, welding? Vehicle repair, or modification.
COMMS AND INFORMATION:
Ham radio might be helpful knowing things
TRADE AND BARTERING:
The ability to swap assets for other assets to meet both parties’ needs. Having extra of something potentially valuable to get something you had no idea you’d need. Ian had made a comment on Firewood during the ‘Year-Long Emergency’ episode that made me think about that for the first time.
WHAT OTHER SKILLS WOULD YOU LIKE IN YOUR MAG?
It’s hard being a supermodel…
Carmen- You Missed the fibre and needle arts.. making yarn, threads, fabric and knowing how to sew, how to make clothes and even shoes, making blankets by knitting, crochet and quilting, and also knots knowledge such as tying nets, making rope and thin threads for use in trapping and even fishing.
Ways of connecting with local, likeminded people and creating, or adding to your MAG?
Local interest groups, HAM radio, Outdoor clubs, 4x4 truck clubs,
Carmen- Maybe even the comments section in videos on YouTube and Facebook, Facebook groups is a double edged sword but I have met a few locals on there…sometimes you just get texting and it stays that way…
Alan - Most SAR people are generally well-prepared and value good planning. Just be wary of what information you’re giving out before you know who’s getting it.
Eric -
HAM Radio - Most have a preparedness mind set already

Email / Itunes reviews?
Eric - Listening to your most recent episode and perked up when you mentioned that “X” number of Covid exposures were linked to the Calgary Stampede. Is there contact tracing done for all exposures in Canada ?
I’m in the US. Cop in a major East Coast resort city and works in a Emergency Room. I had Covid last year and not one single official even verbally asked where I thought I got it.

Alan - Hello I just listened to the show with Carmen on canning and had some questions you could hopefully pass on to her or answer yourself. My wife does very good soups and stews and we would like to can them. The soups have bacon, ham, beef and sometimes dairy in them. With everything being pre cooked when she made the soup would you still need to pressure cook them or could you get away with just a water bath? And would the "best before" date be the same as normal canned food? We already do water bath for vegetables, apple juice and apple sauce but never attempted pressure canning.
I enjoy listening to your podcast instead of the radio and find it on par with my way of thinking. Always looking for better ways and different ideas. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years. Try to target shoot and hunt when time and budget allows. New ham radio operator as well so all in all this podcast is extremely relatable.

The Finnish Reserve Sports Association RESUL is organizing an international four-day distance marching event open to everyone in Finland and around the world. The event will be held between 22-25 July 2021. You can march for any number of days during the event, and available distances are 6.2 mi / 10 km, 15.5 mi / 25 km and 24.9 mi / 40 km. So if you're really masochistic, you can march for 160 klicks in four days. That sounds like fun, right?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/07/chip-shortage-is-starting-to-have-major-real-world-consequences.html
Chip shortage starting to effect the supply chain. Effects everything from TV’s to computers to cars. Thousands of cars are sitting in parking lots assembled but waiting for chips. Word is dealers only have a couple weeks of inventory instead of the unusual couple months
This week’s book had me thinking about other threats to the electrical grid, so this article kind jumped out at me:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/solar-storm-sets-off-mines?fbclid=IwAR1Sgn1mKD1z6dj7otzW5TmYPJeKX-Z6XarKdV-z0_hWk-Th1Ku50XByQMk

Only now do scientists fully understand just how strong a 1972 solar storm was.
Got me thinking about the Carrington Event, and the Quebec power blackout of 1989. Lloyd’s of London estimates (in 2013) that the event would have caused 0.6 to 2.6 Trillion dollars in damage (3.6% to 15.5% of annual GDP). Reading about Quebec I learned that different rock structures under powerlines have different impacts on the potential damage; the granite bedrock of Canadian shield being one of the worse because it acts as an insulator and the energy goes into the power lines and little is absorbed into the ground.

Alan - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/big-business-loan-program-morneau-1.5576585
This is disturbing to me. Trudeau tanked the economy, drove out small business (which he claimed previously were nothing but tax evasion for the super rich), now he’s willing to lend large amounts of cash to large businesses in exchange for equity in the companies. This smacks of the “basic dictatorship” he was so fond of in China. (call it my tinfoil hat being too tight, but it’s easier for the liberals to control a few big companies that control most of the workers)

Busy week in American politics this week. Monday-Iowa Caucus, Tuesday-SOTU, Wednesday-Impeachment Trial Acquittal… Political drama this week continues to show divide and animosity within the country. Although the economy is doing well now and everything is humming along just fine, come November, regardless of the outcome, half of the country is going to be REALLY pissed off. We saw it in 2016. I expect to see much of the same civil unrest as the 2020 election approaches.

INTRO
Eric –Welcome to episode #50 (Woo hoo!) of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded Jan 12, 2020.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.
Tyler - My name is Tyler, and I’m broadcasting from my five-acre homestead here in Northwestern Wisconsin, USA. Since purchasing my first house, I have been working to turn my property into a self-sufficient homestead with an emphasis on preparedness.
Eric- Want to help support the show and keep the Canadian Prepper Podcast on the air? Buy a Canadian Prepper Podcast T-Shirt at www.rapidsurvival.com. All proceeds help keep the lights on, and the backup generator fueled!
Tyler -If you’re enjoying the show, please take a few minutes and like us on Facebook, facebook.com/CanadianPrepperPodcast and submit a review on itunes. Also we want your feedback, good or bad, or even if there is a topic you want us to cover. You can email us at feedback@prepperpodcast.ca
Eric – We have some well-preserved content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some preparedness related news articles. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode. Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - long term storage of valuables.

WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
Eric - Annual doctor checkup, another one tomorrow, added an olight to my EDC
Ian - am I getting home pre-show? Been gone since the Iran missile attack. Hard pass.
Tomorrow, back at it.
Alan - Busy week of studying (big test in 5 days), and multiple emergency responses. Set up Amazon Subscriptions for a few essentials to ensure that we’re never running out of important stuff.
Tyler - Spent my weeknights getting caught up on paperwork/bills. Refilled 20 gallons worth of gas cans and three 20lb propane cylinders. Organized the gun safe and added some motion lights inside the safe.
Colin -
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Eric -
Storage of valuables and firearms are fairly similar, extreme temperatures and moisture will be your main enemies. After that people looking to steal your firearms and valuables are the next thing to be worried about.
First off, follow all firearm safety rules before handling your firearm!
Firearms:
- Break down your firearm for cleaning
- Decock the firearm for storage, this takes tension off the springs. There are arguments for and against this. Do what you’re comfortable with
- Give it a good wipe down, fingerprints leave all kinds of oil that can over time cause an issue (wear gloves)
- Give your firearm a good ceaning, really good take a lot of time. After you’ve cleaned and cleaned it again apply a thin layer of gun oil to help protect any exposed metal parts
- Thoroughly clean the bore, once its clean apply a thin layer of oil as well to help protect it
- If you have a wood stock treat it with a wax to prevent swelling and cracking
Ammo:
- Modern ammunition can be stored for decades
- Biggest enemy for ammunition is heat, make sure its stored in a cool dry place
- Get a container with a sealing gasket, this will help keep moisture out
- A small desiccant pack will help control moisture
Storage Area:
- Gun safe is the best option, most are designed to help protect against moisture
- Use a silicone treated gun sock, helps protect against moisture and dings
- Dehumidifier is KEY, I use an Eva-dry unit in my gun safe. No power needed just have to dry it out every once and a while by plugging it into an outlet for 24h
- Don’t store your guns in cases, the linings (foam pads) attract moisture
- Cardboard boxes are equally a bad choice due to moisture collection
- Make sure the firearms aren’t touching or rubbing against each other
General
- Make sure to take your firearms out every few months (they get lonely), have a look to make sure no rust is forming
- Give them a quick oil and wipe down
- Assess the dehumidification system, does it need to be recharged?
Tyler - Primary storage is my gun safe… https://www.stack-on.com/product/armorguard-64-gun-safe-72/.
Big bastard… 725lbs empty. Just moved it last weekend. Was in attached basement garage. High temperature swings and humidity, so moved into house. Nobody is walking away with that thing and theft is my biggest concern. Not a liberty but at half the price I love it.
-Fireproof for 30 minutes up to 1400° F (verified by an independent laboratory)
-4-way door locking with seven 1.5" live action locking bolts and three 1" dead bolts for a total of 10 locking points
When purchasing firearms, consider SS barrel/synthetic/polymer stock models over blued steel barrel/wood stock. More spendy but won't rust or deteriorate. OPSEC considerations...
All ammo is NOT created equally… Make sure your firearms correctly cycle that particular brand or grain count BEFORE stocking up with 1000’s of rounds.
Should last decades IF stored properly… Store in cool/dark place. Label and rotate ammunition just like food/water preps.
Vacuum sealed bags or ziploc bags w/ air squeezed out.
Steel and/or plastic ammo boxes.
For Transportation - Plastic/Aluminum hard protective cases w/ pick-n-pluck foam to perfectly hold your firearms. (Often used for photography/videography)(Pelicans are too spendy… go to Harbor Freight).
IP Rating = Durability/waterproofing/Etc.
Regular gun cases (pistol and/or long rifle)(OPSEC - Cedar Mill - guitar, airline approved, etc.).
All available at your local Harbor Freight,FleetFarm, and Menards. Obviously your outdoors stores (Cabelas, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, etc.) but they seem a little more spendy.
Harbor Freight, Fleet Farm, and Menards run some great deals on these items… Save$$$ but it's important to protect investments (i.e. guns and ammo...Guns will rust and ammo will go bad)
https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=ammo%20bo
Moisture Absorbers - Damprid and/or Arm & Hammer
https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/safes/safe-accessories/sports-afield-rechargeable-dehumidifier/xd-3/p-1560234824835-c-9573.htm $27 at menards. Works great. Stack-On makes one also.
Disposable Silica gel packets…
Homemade - salt/rice in tissue/cloth with ammo.
(Be careful with leakages on chemical moisture absorbers…)
Oiled gun wipes, gun oil, cleaning kits. TAKE PROPER CARE OF YOUR FIREARMS BEFORE STORING… CLEAN/CHECK REGULARLY… Refinishing/Bluing Rifles?
Secret cache? PVC or 55-gallon drum buried underground.
Fake/empty book on the book shelf
DVD case full of cash with all other DVD’s
False venting ducts or waste pipes
False outlet cover/light switches/heat register/cold-air return
Ian - Air salt, water bad. Constant temp even better. Condensation collects water.
Fun fact… gold and diamonds don’t rust. Silver indeed can be affected by storage. As can dollah dollah bills…..
Cosmoline - history of……Ointment, antiseptic, udder-ly awesome.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmoline
https://www.cosmolinedirect.com/cosmoline-black-rust-veto-344/?gclid=CjwKCAiAmNbwBRBOEiwAqcwwpY5owFmrwuxFemMVcsPl3B_yoqcfDithnFp6YL-eUmJWYddFTTMiqRoCNHEQAvD_BwE
Ballistol - sane idea. As good as windex
https://www.ballistol-shop.de/History-of-Ballistol:_:86.html
Break free
Vacuum sealer, 2 ply at least Rags to soften edges. Dessicant packs, O2 absorbers. Seal wood and metal parts separate.
Walmart ammo cans versus metal ammo cans.
4.88 each cross border. Check the seal, but Just as good
PVC pipe Seal it off ….versus threaded end cap. Proper adhesive and Silicone tape
Channel lock pliers to close
Places to hide:
Hide in plain sight. Diamonds in the aquarium:).
Dog house
, Inside tree trunks
False walls (Molson center) Buddy’s rental unit
Places no one wants to go. (Bottom of porta potty) Septic tank, fish ponds
Use easily remembered / found landmarks.
Don’t want a repeat of “Holes”
Removal of cosmoline…… Brake cleaner, heating up. Varsol. Garbage bag in the sun.
Acetone

Tyler - DHS (Department of Homeland Security) issued a National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin. Issued: January 04, 2020 05:15 pm. Expires: January 18, 2020 01:00 pm.
Details:
-
Iranian leadership and several affiliated violent extremist organizations publicly stated they intend to retaliate against the United States.
-
At this time we have no information indicating a specific, credible threat to the Homeland. Iran and its partners have demonstrated the intent and capability to conduct operations in the United States.
-
Previous homeland-based plots have included, among other things, scouting and planning against infrastructure targets and cyber enabled attacks against a range of U.S.-based targets.
-
Iran maintains a robust cyber program and can execute cyber attacks against the United States. Iran is capable, at a minimum, of carrying out attacks with temporary disruptive effects against critical infrastructure in the United States.
-
An attack in the homeland may come with little or no warning.
Be Prepared:
-
Be prepared for cyber disruptions, suspicious emails, and network delays.
-
Be responsible for your personal safety. Know where emergency exits and security personnel are located. Carry emergency contact and special needs information with you.
-
Implement basic cyber hygiene practices such as effecting data backups and employing multi-factor authentication. For more information visit CISA.gov.

Eric –Welcome to episode #41 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded October 24, 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.

Alan - My little 6lb Maltese won’t do much flushing or retrieving, but he’s an excellent alarm system. With him around, I know when anyone’s within a hundred yards of the property. Being so small, he doesn’t eat much and is easily portable in the event of a bugout.
Eric -
Make sure all collars and tags are up-to-date with identification information. Your ID tag should contain name, telephone number and any urgent medical needs. Be sure to also write your dogs name, your name and contact information on your carrier.
Always bring your dog indoors at the first sign or warning of a storm or disaster. Dogs can become disoriented and wander away from home in a crisis.

Armed robbery, suspect still at large. Be vigilant and keep your eyes open. In this case no one got hurt, but it could have gone south quickly.

Eric - Three ways to preserve your fall harvest
https://www.saltlakemagazine.com/food-preserving-utah/
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
GOSO did not renew so no ad this time around
Eric - Got out in the wilderness and disconnected for a few days, went fishing and practices my filleting skills and wilderness survival skills.
Ian - Haven’t’ been home much since last episode… did finish the wood stacking. Girls did their last poultry show of the season; fared very well, birds going to auction. Should bring in more cash as show winners. Sighted in the rifle. Rifle season open. Changed out a tire on the Genny trailer. (Inflation story)
Alan - some vehicle maintenance in anticipation of the cold white stuff flying in a few weeks (it’s really only 6-8 weeks away friends, sorry to slap you with that reality). Having a mechanic buddy teach me more vehicle maintenance so I can be more self-sufficient. Next task for the car is going to be brakes and wheel hubs. I’m apprehensive about working on my car in the middle of nowhere. I’m a 45 minute walk to the nearest parts store if I mess something up, so I’m happy to be learning from someone with greater knowledge than me. I can fix just about anything, but have less than no experience fixing cars.
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Ian - Why? Creates a system of making shelf-stable foods, including meat products.
Allows you to take advantage of sales with no freezer space, preserve freezer contents in an emergency with power out, or use fruits about to expire .
Adds variety to the daily diet, as well as the long term survival diet - Huge morale boost with sweets!
2 Main methods : Pressure canning and water bath method
Salting is for another day……
Tools.
Large pot or pressure canner
Tongs. Funnel. Jars, lids, (rings)
Magnetic lid grabber
Regardless of method, hygiene is important
Clean your jars. Sterilize in oven at 250 for 20 minutes
Sterilize your lids. Don’t touch the inside after
Simplest is water bath method. Requires just a large cooking pot and lid. Used for jam/preserves. Keto warning-)!! High sugar content!
Water level is put above the lids.
Boil for
Remove with tongs
As they cool, you will hear the lids pop as the jar cools and pressure reduces .
(Vic prepper11 mentioned paraffin use)
Second method is a little more involved. Pressure canning is used for meat products. Even butter!
Used to achieve a higher temperature than 100c.
Takes care of trichinosis and botulism concerns. (Lessens them at least)
Requires a specific pressure canner such as the “All-American “ brand.
Water level is only a few inches. Brought up to boil with lid on and venting for 10 minutes
Specific weight is used over vent to achieve a specific pressure, depending on the recipe you’re using and what product you’re preserving.
Boiled under pressure for 90 mins. Pressure allowed to reduce as the entire pressure canner cools. Don’t be surprised when the jars are still boiling when you take them out hours later.
Alan - my better half and I decided to learn to can this weekend coming. We’re going to make pickles and salsa this weekend. Pictures and video to come!
Eric - The summer is almost come to an end, and shortly your garden will be in a can!
There are two main ways to can produce: boiling water bath and pressure canning.
The water bath method involves packing glass canning jars with food, leaving adequate headroom, and heating the jars in a pot of boiling water for a prescribed amount of time.
I find it easiest to use a canning kit that includes a funnel, and headspace measurement to ensure everything is in the can and head space is adequate.
The heat drives any air from the jar, sterilizing the food and creating a vacuum.
The water bath method works best with naturally acidic foods like fruits, and alkaline foods that have been acidified, like pickles.
Improper canning can result in the growth of harmful spoilers, so find a reliable source to follow.
Start out with something simple like salsa, its really hard to screw up and has high acidity so likelihood of bacteria is limited.
PODCAST CHALLENGE
Under the banner of cost savings, buy some jam jars on blowout after the fall rush is over. You’ll be set up for preserving next year, or at least have some trendy drinking glasses.

INTRO
Eric –Welcome to episode #31 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded July 31 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.
Andrew - Normally you can listen to me hosting Canadian Patriot Podcast. I’m a recovering libertarian, competitive shooter, and firearms instructor at Ragnarok Tactical. Use the discount code “patriot” at checkout on Ragnarok Tactical to save 10%. We specialize in selling traumatic first aid supplies, and I’m a Stop the Bleed instructor.
Gavin - Business owner, gun owner, volunteer first responder, regular CPP Panelist, Instructor with Ragnarok Tactical and International man of mystery
Eric – We have some critical care content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode. Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - Individual First Aid kit contents and construction.
News -
Alan - https://globalnews.ca/news/5705538/garlic-festival-shooter/
Kudos to the reporter at Global for identifying the firearm used as a ‘semi-automatic rifle’ and nothing else. The event was protected by fences and metal detectors. Police on site killed the shooter within a minute. It does go to show that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
Andrew - This week is loading more 223 rifle ammo.
Alan - been a long week of school and training. I can throw hose like champ now, and every muscle in my body hurts. I did some fire tinder prep cutting up limbs and clearing the property of further hazards
Gavin - bought a giant berky
Eric - Got out on the range and took the AR-15 for a spin. . . also gave the 9mm and 22 pistol some attention as well
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Alan - What is an IFAK? Individual First Aid Kit is a fairly generic term, but the essence is that it’s the tools you need to save a life (your own, mostly).
Basic contents:
- Tourniquet
- Pressure Dressing
- Hemostatic Gauze
- Chest Seal
- Medical gloves (not black. Any colour but black. The lighter the better)
If you don’t know how to use these things, take a StopTheBleed class (if you’re Toronto way, Ragnarok Tactical offers them, if you’re in SouthWestern Ontario, message me and I’ll set one up)
Chest seals: not covered by the STB curriculum, but an important tool to have. It’s a one-way valve that allows air to escape a penetrating chest wound without allowing air to enter the plural space between the lung and the chest wall from the outside. A combat medic told me once that the best tool to help with a chest seal is duct tape. On hairy or wet (sweaty/bloody) skin, they can fail. Duct tape around the edges keeps them in place. The guy who’s bleeding won’t mind the wax job on his chest, I promise.
I challenge everyone who owns a gun, hunts, fishes, hikes, camps, or spends any time more than 3 minutes from an ambulance to build and know how to use an IFAK. There are a million stories of unintentional trauma that causes death because someone couldn’t stop the bleeding.
Andrew - First off, I’m not an expert, but I am a Stop the Bleed Instructor, and I have received training on all the products I sell and some we don’t. I’m not a doctor, nurse, EMT, and odds are you aren’t either, so get training and understand what you are able and qualified to do. The time to make decisions is now, not when you see someone bleeding to death
Why do you want an IFAK? What is an IFAK?
Improved First Aid Kit, Blowout Kit, Ventilated Operator Kit. A first aid kit that is able to address massive traumatic injury. What are you trying to do? Keep someone from dying until you can hand them over to a higher level of care. How do we go about that?
MARCH Protocol vs ABCs
- Airway
- Breathing
- Circulation
- Major Hemorrhaging
- Airway
- Respirations
- Circulation
- Head Injuries, Minor Hemorrhaging, Hypothermia/Shock
- Major Hemorrhaging Massive hemorrhage is managed through the use of tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, junctional devices, and pressure dressings. Tourniquet. CAT, SOFTT-W, or SAM. Hemostatic dressings. Celox vs Quickclot
- Airway Airway is managed by rapid and aggressive opening of the airway Nasopharyngeal Airway, NPA. Standard size is 28 Fr. Get lube. OPA get training
- Respirations Respirations and breathing is managed by the assessment for tension pneumothorax and aggressive use of needle decompression devices to relieve tension and improve breathing. Not breathing - Rescue Breaths, pocket mask, or BVM Tension pneumothorax - Chest Seal or Needle Decompression Kit
- Circulation TCCC promotes the early and far forward use of blood and blood products if available. Standard methods for circulation improvement, such as laying the patient flat, maintaining body temperature and careful fluid resuscitation all apply
- Head Injuries & Hypothermia/Shock
Where to keep your IFAK
- Car
- Home
- Bag/Purse/Pocket/Ankle holster
- Range bag/belt/plate carrier
Building your IFAK
Pick a size, set a budget, expand later.
US Army IFAK - The Granddaddy of IFAKS - Iraq circa 2003
- 1 Tourniquet
- 1 Elastic bandage kit (this is similar to a field dressing)
- 1 Bandage GA4-1/2” 100’s
- 1 Surgical adhesive tape
- 1 Nasopharyngeal airway kit
- 4 Surgical gloves
- 1 Combat gauze dressing
Minimum IFAK Contents
- Tourniquet - Massive Hemorrhage
- pressure dressings. - Massive Hemorrhage
Additional IFAK Contents
- Shears
- Gloves
- Sharpie/Permanent marker
- Sterile/non-sterile gauze
- Pocket mask - Respiration
- hemostatic dressings - Massive Hemorrhage
Advanced IFAK Contents
- NPA - Respiration
- Decompression Needle - Respiration
Other goodies
- Splints
- Sutures
- Tape
- Burn treatments
- BVM
- IVs/Fluids
- Emergency Blanket/Reflector Blanket
- Cervical collar
- Medications; Epinephrine, Naloxone
On purchasing first aid supplies;
- Some items requires the buyer to have training (quikclot)
- Other items are frequently counterfeit (tourniquets on Amazon)
- Some items expire or lose efficacy over time (medications/hemostatic)
- Some expiration dates don’t necessarily mean the product is no good (expiration dates on sealed sterile bandages)
- Naloxone is free in Ontario
- Tourniquets may degrade over time if exposed to UV light or other conditions
- There are other kinds of tourniquets. Refer to the Council on Tactical Combat Casualty Care for a list of tourniquets that meet their requirements, get a good one
- If a tourniquet does not work, apply another
- Tourniquets should never be lossend, only removed in a hospital setting
- More is always better, bigger is almost always better
- Shipping packaging should be removed before packing a kit, sterile packaging should remain sealed and staged appropriately
Ian questions -
Brand preferences for IFAK pouches, shears…..ie CTOMS, etc?
Any training available for TCCC?
Rough cost to budget for a proper IFAK?
Where do the hello kitty bandages and tampons come into play?
PODCAST CHALLENGE
Get a tourniquet. A real one. Not an amazon POS that will break the first time it’s used. Make it part of your EDC whether it’s in your backpack, car, cargo pocket, whatever. Think about your worst case scenario and be able to control bleeding.
Get a Naloxone kit from your local pharmacy

Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Ian - Cell phone, Pocket knife, flashlight, multi-tool, eyewear depending on the situation. Always a knife, if legal. I generally carry more on my periphery (suitcases, vehicles, quad, etc), than on my actual person. “Less” is More likely to be carried, but the periphery items ensure you still have what’s needed.
Eric -
Alan -my gear is layered. In my pockets I always have a zippo, a small folder (currently a little wee buck I picked up about 20 years ago at Canadian Tire for $5.99) and a small button-cell flashlight, bandana, car key, wallet and watch. Usually a pair of sunglasses and a ball cap nearby
My lunch box (comes with me every day) has a CPR mask, pair of medical gloves, and a pencil case with a few goodies: multitool (Leatherman classic currently), headlamp, a few spare batteries, charger cords for usb and iPhone, some paracord, a few Band-Aids, a pair of nail clippers, and a lighter. There's also a needle and some silk thread, a little bit of velcro and small wrap of duct tape (both orange and gray)
I have second pouch I don't normally keep with me but is usually in my computer bag. It has another folder, a Ferro rod and magnesium stick, a few razor blades (for fine work), a sharpening stone, a couple of water purification tabs, and more paracord

Flooding is still rampant across the US. The direct effect is on lives and transportation, the longer term effect is that less available land and shorter growing seasons mean that produce and meat costs are going to rise significantly.

Why do we worry about financial preps?
Alan - Acts as a Lay-off insurance
Ian - Medical / disability insurance, if not covered by you company. More peace of mind.
Eric - Savings to buy gear at Rapid Survival? (Haha!)
Ian - Basic levels of financial preps .
1 - Financial INsolvency, like the government
2 -Financial solvency - Debt + living expenses equal to income (Tarzan theory)
3 - Financial Stability - Debt + Living expenses = income (Plus emergency fund)
What to have on hand. . .
1.Copies of all financial documents
a.Bank statements
b.Credit card statements
c.Mortgage statements
2.List of all account numbers, sure it's handy your phone app automatically knows this, but what if the bank systems are down and they go back to pen and paper?
3.Identification so you can prove the account is yours. Know whos on your accounts and what access they have.
- Keep a copy of your credit report, and watch it for fraudulent entries, the sooner you catch them the better!
5.Cash. . . if there is a power outage for example, ATM’s, debit and credit machines will eventually stop working, keep some cash on hand. Make sure it’s small bills as well since there might not be the possibility of making change.
Alan - Keep hard copies, soft backups (USB drive) and cloud backups of all the important documents.
PODCAST CHALLENGE
Ian - Save a small amount monthly,($100?) the goal being to end up with a 6 months of basic expenses as a contingency fund. IT SHOULD cover many (Dare I say most?) unexpected expenses.
Eric - Sign up for a MyCRA account and track your account use
Alan - Christmas fund idea: week after Christmas save $52. The next week add $51, and so on every week. It puts $1,327 in an account on December 1st. If you put it in an interest-generating account it can be even more

An electromagnetic pulse is a device or natural disaster that fries all the electronics in the affected area. A nuclear bomb, a solar flare, or if you remember Ocean's Eleven the “pinch” they used to shut down Vegas are all sources of EMPs.

Alan - Does Jet Fuel Melt Steel Beams? This theory started circulating shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in New York City. The theory claims that since jet fuel burns at 800 to 1500 degrees fahrenheit, it is insufficient to cause structural damage to the steel
beams, which requires 2750 degrees of heat. There are two items I want to address with this: first, is that the steel didn’t need to melt. It just needed to lose strength. That starts at around 850 degrees, and loses 50% of its strength at about 1100 degrees. Once the metal gets soft, the weight of the building does the rest. Second point is the oven effect. While the fuel itself may only burn at 1500, by being concentrated in a concrete building that heat builds up much higher.

Ian - Atrazine (second only to Roundup) in the water, turning the frogs gay.
Used in Corn and Sorghum production. Leaches into water supply. Causes fertility issues, cancer, and hormonal changes in women. During studies it caused some frogs to change genders. Was Alex Jones way off? Nope. Did he latch onto the wrong thing? (Gender switching frogs) Yup, and not very politcally correct about it. Not the way to prove a point….
“As of 2001, atrazine was the most commonly detected pesticide contaminating drinking water in the United States.[6]:44 Studies suggest it is an endocrine disruptor, an agent that can alter the natural hormonal system”
Causes Cancer, birth defects, and reproductive rates….

Safe, debatable… But there was also a time when Thalidamide and Agent orange were considered good ideas too. The world would also starve without modern chemical and fertilizer uses.

Ep 13 - Basic Orienteering
Eric –Welcome to episode #13 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, Finding your way. recorded Feb 13, 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such has ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Ian – Greetings from Vancouver Island. My name is Ian, and I live on a small hobby farm. I am an outdoor enthusiast, target shooter, reloader, and my farm’s designated handyman.
My professional background has allowed me to explore all of Canada. It has taught me to adapt to unexpected situations, and also reinforces my belief that learning never ends.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder developed my mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now
Gavin - Business owner, gun owner, hunter, atheist, volunteer first responder and CCFR field officer for the GTA and regular panelist on the other CPP, Canadian Patriot Podcast`
News -
Alan - https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/ambulance-service-of-fulton-county-shutting-down
this article from upstate New York (Fulton County) paints a bleak picture. 55 staff are laid off and all the ambulances in the county are idle after financial trouble forced them to stop responding. The article references help from adjoining counties, but it means that response times will be delayed, if help comes at all.

Smartphones leading some Gatineau Park hikers astray - CBC.ca
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/hiking-gatineau-park-gps-cellphone-lost-1.4792260
Gatineau Park hikers who rely on their cellphones for directions are getting lost when the technology fails, a trend that's worrying guides and park staff.
Poor reception, drained batteries and outdated trail information have led trekkers down the wrong path. Adding to the danger is the fact that the mobile apps rarely include details about challenging difficult terrain.
Why the need to think about orienteering?
-Unfamiliar city
-Loss of electronics
-Lost in the woods
-Coordinating a hike,hunt, patrol, search etc.
-Situational awareness
-Knowledge of threats relative to your position . (ie fire to the south)
-Placing solar panels in True South direction
Finding a cache or making & marking one. (Geocaching as a learning tool.)
And of course Buried treasure:)
True versus magnetic north - Magnetic variation. (This matters if your compass is your only method of navigation. If you pay attention to landmarks, you always have a direction to head rather than having to know exactly which direction to walk or drive)
Calculator trick - UTC X 15 -Long - Variation (+variation east of thunder bay)
15 degrees per hour, take away your distance from Greenwich, account for variation
Watch trick - Analog only:)
North Star- found by looking up from the big dipper, end of the tail of the little dipper.
Southern cross? Anyone know about it?
Using landmarks to avoid travelling in circles
Recommended APPs.

Ian – My name is Ian, co-host of the show. I live on Vancouver Island, on a small hobby farm. I am an outdoor enthusiast, target shooter, reloader, and my farm’s designated handyman.
My professional background has allowed me to see pretty much every province and territory in Canada. It also has taught me to adapt to unexpected situations daily, and learn quickly as I go.
Gavin - Hi, I am Gavin, regular panelist on the other CPP, an instructor with Ragnarok Tactical, a volunteer first responder, hunter, camper, business owner and CCFR Field Officer for the GTA.
Alan-
I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder with St John Ambulance developed a mind for safety. I spent 17 years seeing people at their worst. I teach first aid and coach families to be better prepared
Eric – We have some great content for you in this episode, first of all our panel is growing! We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode, , and then were going to get into the main topic for this episode, Water needs, storage, disinfection, and its role in preparedness.

Eric - Dec 8th 2018 - Global News - Halton Region’s medical officer of health has issued a boil water advisory for parts of Milton, Ont., following a water main break.
The advisory is expected to remain in place until at least Monday. (2 Days)
Affected residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute and use bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth and preparing food.
It is still safe to bathe in the water for adults and older teens, but the water should not be swallowed.
Special care must also be taken when washing dishes, and dishwashers should reach 60 C or higher for the dishes to be safely disinfected.
https://globalnews.ca/news/4743326/boil-water-advisory-milton/
Wanted to cover this article since it’s a common occurance and something you want to be ready for when putting your preps together.
Panel time to discuss news articles if they have anything to add.
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
Ian - working like a dog. 13/16 days. Bought and sold a few bits on CGN. No preps, other than online shopping for 1000 gal water containers. (Next major purchase)
Eric - Stocked up the water supply at Costco, grabbed a few cases of water (40 packs) for $2.80. Moved a bunch of dried firewood into the house and garage so we’re ready for the snow, assuming it ever shows up.
Alan - The local no-frills had cases of water on sale this week for 88 cents, so I bought 50. I updated my EDC kits for my job to reflect the combination of being in the office and on construction sites. There was a short-term power outage at home the other day so I got to test my plan. Flashlights were easy to find, candles were easy to set up and everything went well. The power came back on about 7 hours later before we had to address the fridge contents. I also updated my shelf-stable food contents. A full house here could be well-fed for about three weeks currently, and stretch it out for six weeks if we really had to.
Gavin - beefed up my very small experimental indoor garden from 3 plants to 12, added some more search and rescue training to my knowledge base with an intro to Search Manager/Resource Manager/Crew Leader and Route Supply.
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. . . water needs, storage, and disinfection.
Alan - Needs - 2 liters per day just for drinking! More if actually working/trying to survive:)
Gavin- Not counting dishes, toilets, animals, hygiene , cooking, etc
Eric - Role in preparedness?
Ian -Key, just not as exciting as going to the range!
Try going without:).
Can be the first concern in certain cases (rural).
Different in the city with a water tower . It runs dry too.
5 months with no rain in BC….

Episode Closing
Eric - Listener Email. . . If you want to send in a question, email, or suggest a topic send an email to feedback@prepperpodcast.ca.
One listener email since last episode. . . Hey guys,
Just caught up with your recent first aid episode and I just wanted to let you know my experience with the Red Cross.
I took my certification in April 2018 and they did do hands on training with commercial tourniquets. They used actual CATs but only applied them to paint rollers, so they were smaller than you would normally deal with and had no clue as to how tight you actually need them to go. Thankfully, they taught them correctly and told you not to loosen them or remove them but the subject was over quickly.
Keep up with the great work on the podcast!
All the best,
Better Andrew
He also mentioned a few things we could implement during the show and we’ll add those to future episodes, thanks for the suggestions!
Ian - Itunes reviews?
Eric - No new written iTunes reviews, still last comment from Sasquatch Research Scientist. However we do have a PodBean review from the last episode… TheTorqueMaster - Another excellent Podcast with a wealth of good information on first aid training, knowledge and gear. Keep up the great works guys.

In addition to recording the number one podcast in Canada, I run a firearms training and accessories tax shelter, Ragnarok Tactical. We deliver training for competition shooters, first aid training, and sell everything from boots to barrels, to tourniquets and and tacos.In real life I work a 9-5 job leading a team in information technology and raising a young family.
Eric – We have some great content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode, , and then were going to get into the main topic for this episode, First Aid and its role in preparedness.
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps
Andrew - I just had some forced leave from work so we installed new networking equipment at home including a battery backup, and prepped a few thousand 223 cases for reloading. We also cleaned and reorganized our cold room and removed all the “expired” food and made sure that all the shelf stable items were organised so the items that would reach end of life soonest are at the front. We also rotated and verified the water storage, we have 1 week on hand and are working towards 2 weeks .
Ian - Holiday season slows down most preps. Solstice dinner got cancelled, but still had to run our gift day and feeding with no power. Got to do a dry run on a ‘grid down’ scenario due to the power outage we will talk about below. Cut up a few trees with the help of a neighbour that fell. Topped up feeders and waterers. Bucked up the trees also downed by the arborist from last episode. No shortage of firewood this year! Tested the efficacy of my backup water system. Shortcomings noted in power cable line for genny, and using the UPS for cell phones. Fridges were fine. My mother mentioned I should get a genny… Clearly not watching the podcast….
Eric - I filled a pile of orders for Rapid Survival, the Christmas rush is officially here. . . So that cleared out a bunch of room for some new toys. Did some research on new gear and will be bringing in some new radios for the new year. Of course one or two of those will need to make their way into my packs.
News -

Ironically podcast delayed due to power outage. Solstice dinner got cancelled due to about 200+ trees in my neighbourhood going down. Friends still without power. Major grid damage on the island.
Eric - https://www.richmond-news.com/news/richmond-school-district-to-put-350-000-towards-emergency-preparedness-1.23535369
Dec 13, 2018 Richmond School District to put $350,000 towards emergency preparedness.
By the end of February, supplies are expected to be distributed to all Richmond schools and will ensure they are prepared for multiple days following an emergency. Supplies will include water, food, rain ponchos, solar blankets, first aid and staging area supplies.
“Since September 2018, meetings have been held with school district administrators, health and safety committees, parent advisory committees, stakeholders, the City of Richmond Emergency Preparedness Team and the R.C.M.P,” said a statement from the Richmond School District.
Main topic- Basic and advanced First Aid (Subject matter expert imported for this one)
Intro to Andrew - Andrew’s background / bio / qualifications
So I was in the Canadian Forces for about 5 minutes, I didn’t do anything cool and I never deployed. I did however take the Army’s idea of a first aid course. I also keep my Red Cross Standard First Aid up to date with a renewal every 2 years, I’ll be recertifying in January or February. I have to have that to run ranges on military bases which I do regularly for the Ontario Rifle Association, plus it probably helps to have for my day job.
Advanced first aid courses I’ve taken
Spent Brass Training Solutions LLC Tactical First Responder Trauma Course – 2018
American College of Surgeons Bleeding Control Basic v 1.0 – 2018
Questions we plan to ask:)
-What is the minimum qualification level a prepper should aspire to reach? WCB level 1? EMT Training?, is CPR C enough etc?
A -
- As much as possible.
- College Paramedic courses are probably overkill and requires 2 years of study.
- Standard First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, Stop the Bleed/Bleeding Control Basic are probably going to cover 90% of what you can expect to deal with day to day.
- But more is always better.
-What is the Minimum equipment list, other than the standard ouch pouch? Ie: stacks of gauze , truck kits, Chest seal, Medical stapler, israeli bandage, (sprinkle on Hemo agents) Explain the utility and likelihood of need for each. Maybe Epi-Pens?
A - Please don’t use sprinkle on Hemostatic agents, the technology is out of date and less effective. As with most things it depends. 3 Factors
- Cost
- Size
- Scope of Practice
1 Cost
How much can you afford to buy? How many kits do you need? Are they different? I keep 3 different IFAKs.
- Car
- Enough for 1 to 2 people with major trauma likely to be encountered in a Motor Vehicle Collision
- Work/Range Bag
- Enough for 1 person with major trauma
- Range belt
- Small on my belt enough for one person with a small trauma, like 1 bullet hole
We’re also working on building home and vehicle trauma kits with more stuff to deal with greater number of casualties following the use of an IFAK, basically additional trauma supplies plus supporting tools for longer periods of care.
IFAK - Individual First Aid Kit - Contents
- Airway (training)
- Nasopharyngeal Airway, 28 French + lube
- Bandage
- Emergency Bandage aka Israeli bandage 4” or 6”
- Cutting
- Shears - airport friendly
- Hemostatic
- QuikClot Combat Gauze
- Celox Gauze
- Occlusive Dressings
- Foxseal
- PPE
- Gloves
- Tourniquet
- CAT
2 Size
How big is the kit? Can you carry it with you? Does it stay at home or in a vehicle?
The largest kit in the world is not helpful if its 100 yards away and you’re bleeding out.
3 Scope of Practice
What are you trained, comfortable, and “allowed” to perform? What about keeping things that you can’t use but a Doctor, Nurse, or EMT could? What if you’re SOL and have to do it to save a life?
For example I will not do rescue breaths on non-family members. I’ll do compressions or what ever but I don’t know where they have been. The time to figure this out is now, not when you come on to a scene.
Ian - (Fentanyl second hand poisoning)
-Cheap place to buy bulk consumables such as gauze? Brands to avoid?
Ian - (Ono Safety supply)
-Combat first Aid courses, any in Canada? Describe what is taught….
A - Ragnarok Tactical partnership with Spent Brass Training Solutions LLC Tactical First Responder Trauma Course
Last year it was two days of scenario based and hands on training. This year we’re likely to get Val back up to do two 1 day courses early in the year. Dates and cost TBD.

Email from Alan -
Good afternoon Eric and Ian,
Just wanted to say thanks for putting this out!
I'm also a Southern Ontario Native (west of London). Haven't had my HAM licence for a few years but interested in getting it back.
I've been prepping at various stages and phases for nearly 25 years now. It
started in scouts when I got lost in the woods on a hike and had to spend
the night.
In my 'spare time' I hunt, fish, teach first aid, and build towards
self-reliance.
I truly appreciate the Canadian perspective of prepping. I listen to a few
American podcasts as well. The differences are STAGGERING.
One of the first times I ever put my plans into place was during the 2003
blackout. I was a 2nd tier responder affiliated with local fire and EMS
teams (volunteer) and spent almost 48 hours helping prevent
life-threatening emergencies.
EDC, first aid, and SIP preps are my primary areas of focus.
Keep up the great work. I appreciate the effort you guys put in. I'm
looking at rapidsurvival.com right now and planning my first purchase!
Thanks guys,
Alan

Ep 7 CDN vs American Prepping
Eric –Welcome to episode #7 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast…CDN vs American Prepping….My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such has ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Ian – My name is Ian, co-host of the show. I live on Vancouver Island, on a small hobby farm. I am an outdoor enthusiast, target shooter, reloader, and my farm’s designated handyman.
I have had a lifelong interest in preparedness, and I am gladly learning new skills on a regular basis. My professional background has allowed me to see every province and territory in Canada, and has taught me to prepare for various unexpected situations daily. I should also add this podcast has taught me I talk fast, and that I need to enunciate…...

Gas is paid for by items, not cash…..
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY
Ian - IP/plastics for some gamma lids and buckets, to compliment the rice we bought and the Mylar bags I ordered.
Had an rare meetup with a local prepper. Turns out we have known each other for over 20 years.
Arranged with a local arborist to remove a couple high risk trees. Removes potential fire hazard/ builds fire break, increases wood stockpile, and reduces the chance I will damage my house when knocking it down :). Peace of mind, cost savings for heat. Wood shavings & food for the alpacas.
Target shooting….Got cancelled due to a minor SHTF moment, had to get a new passport.
Importance of community, etc
Eric - Got out the range last night for the first time in ages. . . put 100 rounds of 9mm down range and mostly on target!
Completed the podcast challenge, have enough fuel stored now
Main topic- Differences between countries in prepping. (Thx to Brad)
-right vs privileges to bear arms
-property rights, emergency management act, and your supplies.
-likelihood of running into a CCW, whether good or bad guy. More people with truck guns.
-education level. Ignorance of world events versus local
Material costs for prepping ? Ammunition, food, etc. amazon.com vs .ca
Even availability of books!
Trespass laws - Castle law versus “citizens self defense and protection of property act”
Less of a social stigma in the US towards prepping
Variety of climates in both. To generalize the lower 48 has water and heat issues. We have cold and growing season issues.
Solar efficiency better in the US, basic angles. Seasonal changes minimized
Food storage climate friendlier in Canada.
--Politeness level? Stuck by a roadside, etc? Police average interaction level of tension….
-Open spaces. Population density is lower, so once out of major cities the chance for solitude is higher, but in a harsher environment. (Muskeg, tree line,
-(Vic prepper) Differences between states in firearms laws, water collection bylaws, etc. Here it is more uniform across the board.
-bail in legislation in Canada
-MJ usage, Federal crime in the US, not so much in canada….
Response to “Travelling prepper” email question - Travel friendly EDC. Outside of clothes and toiletries

Feedback
Good evening Eric and Ian,
Andrew from Canadian Patriot Podcast here. I travel a fair bit for work especially in 2018. I still tend to have most of my EDC with me when I'm on the road. Day to day I work in Information Technology and its not uncommon for me to have to travel with tools, when I do I get to check a bag with screwdrivers, and other things I can't carry on. That will include a less expensive pocket knife, usually a small Gerber. The rest of the time I'm knifeless.
My regular travel is US and Canada with the majority now being Canada only. I have a bag that I always have for work and that includes the majority of my EDC gear. The bag and contents stay the same from day to day and don't change much when I'm traveling. The "prepper" specific stuff follows. This is stuff I know that my co-workers generally do not carry. I also carry several hundred dollars in cash, more when I travel then when I'm at home.

I'm usually somewhere for a week or more. So I'll buy food to eat and re-stock what I keep in my bag. I'll also pick up a few bottles of water to keep in the hotel room, and keep my water bottle full to keep with me. If its just a day trip I don't bother with extra food or water.
I also keep printed copies of all my paperwork in my notebook; hotel, car, airline. Its worth mentioning that I do a virtual recce of any city I have not been in before using google maps and street view. By the time I travel I already have planned a primary and alternate route from the airport to the hotel, the hotel to work locations. Found nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and hospitals. I print google maps with the routes and points of interest. This is all backup to my phone.
Regarding hotel rooms I request second and third floor rooms away from the elevators. This is high enough to discourage casual break and enters from outside access and low enough to easily escape in the event of a fire or other emergency. I also walk the ground floor of the hotel prior to check-in to assess any unusual activity; open doors, loiterers, etc. After check-in I make sure the room is all set and then walk to the parking lot using two different routes whether I need that many trips to the car or not. The point is to become familiar with the route and identify any obstacles or anything unusual.
Probably sounds extreme to the casual outsider, but nothing I travel with has caused problems with airport security, TSA, or CBSA. Trip planning usually saves me time as I already know where to eat so I don't spend time trying to find a place when I'm on-site. The extra work in the hotel only takes a few minutes longer.
Andrew

Economic downturns happen regularly. Relates to retirement, current wealth, and job losses leading to societal degradation.
WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY
Ian - Not much time off lately. WIll have two weeks to do some work momentarily. Then xmas rush. Prepped some brass. Refinished a bare steel gun to keep the rust away. Inventory update underway, and stocked up on some more food we had depleted. Costco is our friend. American Costco is even better.
Eric - Absolutely nothing prepping wise. . . sometimes it happens
Main topic- Getting the wife and kids prepared (Thx to Brad)
Ian - Hard to judge, depending on how receptive your target audience is to change or rational discourse. Always keep the emotion to a minimum. Use facts and real-world issues always, not ‘the walking dead’. (Frustrates me on the lack of a BOB every episode)

Always work around the 3 tenets
Cost Savings -
Peace of mind -
Less Reliance -
Eric - If unable to have a heart to heart immediately, Slow introduction may be necessary.
-Relate current news events (ie Forest fires) to what you would do in the same situation
-Emphasize the slow gov’t reaction to provide aid. (Fort McMurray Fire or Calgary flood)
-Gently mock the lineups at the gas station. (Hurricane Sandy New jersey)
Ian - First Aid course. - Gentle intro into the world where all is not clean or safe. You have to fix things, not someone else.
Sell it as:
Means of getting a raise at work. (WCB level 1, etc)
Less need to run to emergency room (less reliance)
First responder capability if you see someone in the ditch. (Community service, peace of mind, less reliance)
Kids get it as babysitting jobs mandate it. (initial Revenue generation)
-Also helps pad their resume seeking first real job.

Guns - (Thx hollywood) Always foremost on freshly-minted preparedness minds, but is no more or less important than any other. Just a lot more fun than stocking cans or sealing mylar bags.
Social stigma to work around
Try Target shooting, removes taboo of guns around the house. Use interactive targets like clays, balloons, and steel. Tannerite :) Start with a .22 Always! Always emphasize safety
Do not start with a pistol, as the positive feedback in target success is harder to achieve.
This leads to hunting, (cost savings in meat), healthier food choices, emphasis on need for nutrition. Renewable food source. Start with grouse, rabbit, etc. Don’t start with deer. Preferably grouse - ‘gateway’ animal and ludicrously easy to clean. Similar enough to chicken to remove the stigma attached.
Varmint removal if you have problem animals. Leads to Live trap idea and utilization
https://www.libertybugle.com/reunited-madison-the-anatolian-shepherd-mix-guarded-burned-out-paradise-property-for-weeks-video/
Self -Defense course for wife and kids. Krav Maga, Systema, Jiu-jitsu, Karate, Kali. Kendo if swordplay is your thing. Even Karate will help
Wait for a news article on a violent assault , emphasize need for self defense versus waiting for police response. Or, to Protect what you have in the worst case scenario. If you don’t need a gun when times are ‘WROL’ bad, then you are just collecting things for the meanest person on the block when they get desperate enough. Just know that in ‘ROL’ any use of a firearm in Canada guarantees a large legal bill, even if in the right.
Groceries as ‘food insurance’. Works for car, house, etc. Why not food? If that doesn’t make sense then you don’t need a fire extinguisher either when times are good. You have the fire department after all…..
Start with buying in bulk to save money.
Buy things on sale only. (Cost savings) Looking at you, CDN Tire.
Bulk barn bigger discounts by the bag versus bin. (Environmentaly friendly less packaging)
Costco Toilet paper. Way cheaper per roll, up front cost.
Ghosting purchases - Minimal apparent cost increase, eventually increases Peace of mind to avoid the SHTF rush. Plenty of black friday videos to draw from
LISTENER FEEDBACK Hi,
I travel frequently for work and in hotels all the time around the world. I have preparedness bags for most all facets of my home life, however no bag or supplies for when I’m on the road. I’d love to develop a bag that is:
-small and light weight
-airplane friendly
-TSA & international security friendly
-tailored to life on the road in hotels
All ideas would be great.
Thanks

Ian – Absolutely skunked. Not alone, as was everyone else. Sighted two off the ferry, good start! Saw one doe in fast flight jumped in front of my truck near campground. Sweet! Nothing after. Island much busier than expected, and we had to ensure everyone had their own patch to cover. Saw zero grouse, or even songbirds. My partner had mechanical and logistical issues, and came late.
Busy enough during the weekdays. We called it before the weekend rush arrived.
Take aways –
Ian- We have the tech for now, use it. Free GPS aps, (Maps.me) or paid ones such as iHunter.
Testing your gear is key. I ran into people who had not sighted in their rifles prior to going.
There is no such thing as overdressing for weather. Most guys I ran into had proper gear and were functioning well. Layering is the most adaptable style of dress for changing conditions.
Even in good times, people vs animal population is not good. Imagine when food is tight. Jacklighting, etc would work short term, then deplete populations even faster.
Sleep is key to fast response and sighting ability. Don’t ruin it by boozing too much after dark. Afternoon naps helped a lot with alertness during dusk time.
Different catch methods ensure SOME success. My hunting partner ensured we didn’t get ‘completely’ skunked during the trip by catching and releasing a small lake trout. Good for morale and a real time test for his gear & loadout!
My own failings:
I used riflescope to glass some areas. Bino would have been better. Packing light versus utility of tools.
Should have briefed partner on use of walkie talkies during bush push. Running late, Had them, didn't use them. Safety as well as efficiency issue.
Pounds equals pain. Can’t stress the importance of lightweight gear.
Physical fitness. Feel better after my daily hikes.
How we’ve prepped this week
Ian – Unpacked from hunting, and topped off some feeders/waterers. I bought some feed to keep the stockpile up, had to head off to work. Been at work since.
Ordered online some used night vision
Black friday sales
Eric-
PODCAST CHALLENGE
Eric – LA Fires inspired us for this one
Ian – Rather than online shopping and pimping out your SHTF rifle….
More realistic use of time beforehand would have been making copies of critical documents . Passports, marriage / birth certificates, bank accounts, titles to property, serial numbers of valuable items, and pictures for insurance purposes of stuff you would want replaced in case of a major fire.
Eric - Avg Jump drives hold 64 GB of memory. You could hold all your favorite pics and documents fairly easily on one.
Ian – So your challenge is, to make an I’m never coming home (INCH) USB thumb drive . Good to use in a hotel business center, friend’s laptop, even staples if need be. Ludicrously light, and preserves wealth and validates any claim you have on property. Expedites insurance claims in good times.
Eric - Let us know anything we should, or you did, add to it, as far as proof ownership, maps, owner’s manuals, etc.
Episode Closing
Eric/Ian - Listener Email Review, and answering of questions sent in. If you want to send in a question, email
Itunes review? (Eric)
Shout outs – The actor James Woods! When the California fire hit, He stayed up for 36 hours straight, coordinating Fire response efforts from NYC. He used his million+ twitter followers to help pass messages and reunite people separated from each other. Not a fan of social media, but here is a solid use demonstrating its utility! A solid demonstration of having a non-local communication relay that was not bogged down by overwhelmed cell and land lines!
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/10/james-woods-uses-social-media-to-help-find-missing-people-in-california-wildfire/
Ian – Dana, a hunter I met on the ferry to the island, and subsequently ran into repeatedly. Solid guy, as most hunting folks are.
-agreed on territory we would each cover. Or had covered
-shared sightings or lack thereof,
-offered assistance, etc. Short term MAG.

Outro
Eric - I’m going to bring episode 5 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast to an end. . . Ian where can people find the show online?
Ian- You can find the podcast on Itunes and Podbean, please help us out take a few minutes and submit a review! You can also find us at prepperpodcast.ca.
Eric –Ian how can people reach you?
Ian - theislandretreat@gmail.com
Eric – Please check out Rapid Survival www.rapidsurvival.com and get me there on live chat while buying some prepper gear, or just can also email me at feedback@prepperpodcast.ca
Eric - Thanks for joining us, and tune in for the next episode, where we will talk about getting the wife and kids involved in preparedness.?
Eric - Until next time, be prepared, stay safe, and (Ian) keep learning!
Ep 6 Spitballs
Getting the wife and kids prepared
-Relate current news events to what you would do in the same situation
-Emphasize the slow gov’t reaction to provide aid.
-Gently mock the lineups at the gas station.
First Aid course. - Gentle intro into the world where all is not clean or safe. You have to fix things, not someone else.
Sell it as:
Means of gettign a raise at work. (WCB level 1, etc)
Less need to run to emergency room
First responder capability if you see someone in the ditch.
Kids get it and get babysitting jobs more easily.
Also helps for their resume seeking first real job.
-Target shooting, removes taboo around the house. Use intereactive targets like clays, balloons, and steel. Tannerite :) Start with a .22 Always!
Thus leads to hunting, cost savings, healthier food choices, emphasis on need for nutrition. Renewable food source. Start with grouse, rabbbit, etc. Don’t start with deer.
Varmint removal if you have problem animals. Leads to Live trap intro.
leads to self defense. Protect what you have in the worst case scenario. If you don’t need a gun when times are bad, then you don’t need a fire extinguisher either. Just know that in ‘ROL’ any use of a firearm in Canada guarantees a large legal bill, even if in the right.
Groceries as ‘food insurance’. Works for car, house, etc. Why not food?
Start with buying in bulk to save money.
Peace of mind to avoid the rush. Plenty of black friday videos to draw from
Buy things on sale only.
Bulk barn bigger discounts by the bag versus bin
Ghosting.
Intro
Eric –Welcome to episode #4 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast… Pre Deer Hunting. . . My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such has ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Ian – My name is Ian, co-host of the show. I live on Vancouver Island, on a small hobby farm. I am an outdoor enthusiast, hunter, reloader, my farm’s designated handyman.
I have had a lifelong interest in preparedness, and am gladly learning new skills on a regular basis. My professional background has allowed me to see pretty much every, province and territory in Canada. It also has taught me to prepare for various unexpected situations daily.
Eric – We have some great content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to hunting and the outdoors. Next Ian and myself will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode, we have some listener feed back to cover off (hopefully), and then were going to get into the main topic for this episode, Pre Deer Hunting.
News Eric – Since this episode is going to be focused on hunting I thought an article about hunting would make sense to talk about.
Oct 27 2018 - MNRF laid 132 charges in 10-day period at start of moose and deer season.
During a 10-day period from Oct. 13 to Oct. 22, conservation officers checked 4,768 hunters from Ontario and the United States and laid 132 charges and issued 329 warnings.
- The fact that there are more warnings vs charges is good to see, education always makes a big impact vs charging.
Some of the charges and warnings that were issued included failing to wear a proper helmet on an ATV, having open liquor in a vehicle, having a loaded firearm in a vehicle, not wearing proper hunting orange, night hunting, shooting from the road, and trespassing for the purpose of hunting.
- Safety is key, alcohol and hunting just doesn’t mix. Not wearing orange (common sense), and trespassing.
https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/mnrf-laid-132-charges-in-10-day-period-at-start-of-moose-and-deer-season-1100849
Ian commentary– province differences. No orange required here. Lower population density. Interesting in the lack of caliber restrictions here too.
Boozing it up leads to accidents, maybe requiring first aid / IFAKs. Do you sell those?
Plan to handle first aid issues? What first aid do you bring?
Ian -.

Man shoots grizzly mom in front of house.
Eric – Safety around wild life? Bears in camp, around when hunting. . .
Talking points:
-Who has the right of the space? He erred leaving her in his yard for a while.
-Protection of family versus public outcry. Totally different when times are bad.
-Charged outside with no real plan.
-Backup plan for when she charged was a complete fail.
Ian - The inevitable bear defense debate! CGN is full of threads on this. .308 / Buckshot/45-70/50 BMG😊
How we’ve prepped this week Ian-Finished splitting and stacking wood during a break in the weather.
Put on some siding on a wall of one of the coops.
Reloaded some .308 (Hunting rounds) Hornady SSTs for .75 versus 2.00 per round. Won’t flinch when shooting based on costs per round!
Made some 9mm in celebration of my Ruger PC Carbine😊 One of the first 30 from Bullseye in London. Something for the wife and kids to enjoy. Lots of value for money.
Eric – If you have Any questions, please ask!
Processed the last 14 of my meat birds.. . Sold 4 before we even got them home. Canned some stock, froze some meat, and gained a sense of accomplishment & pride at knowing what went into them. Organic food, table scraps, and better conditions than your avg bird.
My wife spent the better part of a day parting them out into compact pieces, while I vacuum bagged them. Neat trick to make better use of the freezer. Lesson learned. Thighs in a hand grinder doesn’t work. Use a food processor to grind it up instead.
Unusually high male to female ratio this year. About 50 males total sent to ‘freezer camp’ this year. Females kept for eggs to rotate in some newer stock. Most kept for consumption.
But as long as they get commercially processed they can legally be sold. (Change from the old days of a bird sold over the fence. )
Based on results from showing them at local fairs, and with those wins, we turned that into some ‘hatching egg’ sales.
More on Chickens at a later episode!
Episode’s topic. Pre Deer Hunting Eric – So it’s November, and along with colder weather and snow comes deer hunting season. I’ve been hunting deer for the past 7-8 years in Northern Ontario. It’s a great time to spend with friends and family. I’ve successfully harvested two deer myself during this time and there is nothing better than knowing you’re able to put food on your table using skills learned.
Ian - Hunting history. . . Up front, I’m more about filling the freezer than the ‘thrill of the hunt’
Hunting small game since I was a kid in AB. Mostly grouse/small game. (Ditch chicken)
Lucky enough to have tried my hand at caribou hunting. Northern SK. Requires a sense of humour. But not much skill. Favorite game is moose, but none on the island.
-Ptarmigan grouse as well in both NWT and SK. Offset food costs when I was basically broke.
I do like the aspect of the modern day labels you can attach to hunting wild meat. Helps when dealing with the squeamish. Organic, free range, antibiotic free, ethically harvested, sustainably managed, cage free, etc…..
Last year in BC, I was successful in tagging a buck, day 1, 15 minutes in. Did NOT prep and have another tag handy – lesson learned.
Eric – We wanted to take some time and talk about our pre deer hunting setup and how we’re getting ready to go out and hopefully harvest a deer.
- .308 rifle cleaned and oiled, scope checked at the range as well
- Boots, jacket (orange of course), and pants checked for wear and tear. Found my boots need to be replaced.
- Camp has cameras setup, monitoring them for movement and patterns, seen a few nioce size bucks and a few does.
Talking point, why .308 as a caliber choice?
Ie long range dual purpose round, hard hitting for anything in north America, wide availability.
Ian –
-sighted in my .308. Bringing a Baikal 20 gauge for grouse. Baikal is reliable and cheap, don’t mind getting some rain on it!
Arranged with a fellow prepper to do a two vehicle caravan. My truck and his BOV. BC forestry campsite for base camp. My truck for scouting, wood supply, and his BOV for cooking and sleeping.
-Bought extra tags this time, based on last year.
-Bought larger cooler, and went later in year to help with meat cooling.
This year I am heading to an island in the straight of Georgia. I have timed my trip for the small window of open season on Does AND Bucks.
This island has no natural predators, and few hunters. So it makes for a time efficient trip. We are also allowed three tags. But very small deer!
More to the point of today’s topic -
This is all well and good during good times. Hard to do this when gas supplies are low, or civil unrest is happening!
Eric - How so? = Talking points
Ian -Basically in society we trade gasoline for food. Whether it be trolling for fish, driving a logging road, or even travelling off the island to go to my hunting grounds
-Hard to do in a breakdown in social services
-No gas, no big trips. Leaves you on foot to hunt. And compete for dwindling resources.
-Myth of the bug out to the woods. Hard to do even a normal camping trip. Let alone a permanent move to the bush.
- Also, inability to leave the house undefended from burglars / looters. Especially if people know you have supplies. You can’t go out hunting unless you have a mutual assistance group to protect what’s yours.
Eric - (Importance of MAGS / trained family members)
-House security
-Noise discipline. Shooting is ringing the dinner bell for other people nearby. Leads to imposed sharing or defending what’s yours. Perhaps a bow/crossbow?
-How to do hunting in case of a shortage of gas?
-Lastly, refrigeration and preservation issues. What to do with a whole deer?
Ian – I recommend live traps. (5 raccoons in a week) Something legal to practice with now.
-Snares
-opportunistic shots versus walking. Calorie outlay versus what you get in return.
-Crab pots / shrimp pots/ Clam digging
-freshwater mussels and crawfish.
-Baiting / Gill nets / static fish lines (not necessarily legal in ROL, unless you’re status) Not recommending you break the law.
-Rabbit only starves you out. (Looking at you, Uvic and VIU) Meat is too lean.
What you can do today to reduce hunting costs. Keep an eye out for sales on components for reloading. Single stage press can save you cash, as well as when primers/projectiles/powder go on sale. Reloading components disappeared more slowly during the Obama scare than complete ammo.
-Hit up garage sales for live traps, crab/lobster/shrimp pots. Reloading gear, cleaning kits (Seriously)
-
Allows for stockpiling on the cheap. Most people I know only have a box or two around the house. Each box of projectiles or primers is 100 shots.
Keep your own hunting brass, even with no intention of reloading. Will allow for barter or cheaper unit costs if you DO decide to get into it.
PODCAST CHALLENGE
Eric - Have you ever harvested an animal, how did you learn to do it?
Ian - If not, your challenge is watch a video on how to do it, even if it’s just a chicken. Youtube is an amazing resource. Matthew from Slamfire radio’s ‘MMatt’ channel for grouse and a deer video.
-Side note, you can eat for free around here if you’re willing to pick up and process a rooster.
Episode Closing Eric/Ian - Listener Email Review, and answering of questions sent in. If you want to send in a question, email
email from Brad
Hi Eric:
I just came across your podcast and listened to the first 3 podcasts (Ian is a good co-host). I really enjoy your style as it is intelligent and realistic. So much of what I have heard or read is Armageddon style jargon where I should be stockpiling 1000s of rounds of ammo and work out to become Rambo. I have shotguns a few times and had intentions to get my PAL but after taking the gun safety course didn’t go through with it. My wife is quite uncomfortable with them and I can’t say I am not also.
I live in Southern ON (45 minutes NE of Toronto). We moved up here 10 years ago from mid-town Toronto after a lifetime of living in the city. My wife is a horse rider so we bought a 10 acre hobby farm. It's 6 acres of trees and the rest for barn and paddocks. I am 50 years old and have 3 boys - 15, 13, 11.
Increasingly, I have become more interested in a self sufficient lifestyle - wood burning insert which we heat house with a secondary heat source to propane. Have a well and septic. I am learning more and more techniques and skills to do thing on my own.
For future podcasts, I'd be interested in learning about:
- Your views on necessity of firearms or self-defense in a preparedness situation. Obviously, it would depend on the permanency of the situation (will power be gone for months, years, etc) but your views on that for prepping
- Would a Canadian survival situation be different than an American one in the sense of people helping each other instead of shooting first. Will gangs roam the neighbourhoods immediately, etc?
- How to get my wife and kids involved so they are more self sufficient - we have lots of fires in the fire pit outside, have a generator, etc. and I teach them how to start the fires, what to do in the case of a power outage, emergency, etc.
For the challenge that Ian suggested, I will submit Darlington Nuclear station. It's just down in Pickering so your views on how prepared we need to be (64 kms by car - straighter as the crow flies or should I say nuclear fall-out)? What should we be doing, have in case of a nuclear melt-down, spill, etc.
Thanks again and I hope you get the podcast going!
Brad

A the stigma surrounding prepping is discussed and how it is slowly changing thanks to media and government starting to discuss 72 hour plans.
In this episode I explain some of the ways to study for, and ultimately write the amateur (HAM) radio exam to receive your amateur radio operators licence in Canada. I also explain some basic radios that can be used and where to find settings to gain access to local HAM repeaters.
In this first episode of the Canadian Prepper Podcast I do an introdction about the podcast and where I'd like to see it go. I aslo discuss basics about 72 hour kits.
