It’s that time of year again; time to over eat and over drink, and wonder where on Earth 2016 went?
This is my minimum gear I’d have on me if venturing any distance in the Winter season in Southern Ontario away from the home base.
Seems everyone online is focused on prepping for a nuclear war these days, so I thought I’d share the contents of my radiological medical response kit.
Rather than focusing on building a fortress to defend your supplies it is safer to build a home you can walk away from without compromising your supplies or getting on the wrong end of a gunshot wound.
There are multiple articles, videos, and books about bugging out and a few on bugging in. My aim here is to throw a bit of thought on the bugging in concept from my unarmed Canadian perspective.
I got to thinking about what I would do with 32 years nursing experience and most of that in trauma if I had a person laid up in bed and was faced with providing hospital care in SHTF and why.
In this Golden Hour things you do and do not do will have a profound effect on your chances of a decent survival outcome.
Today we focus on how you can begin prepping for wildfires. This is helpful in many SHTF issues including nuclear war and civil unrest so even if you feel wildfires are unlikely in your neighborhood.
For most people likely the idea of having to eat an exclusively vegan diet is their idea of the apocalypse! No more bacon and beef burgers. Leaving aside the other valid reasons to embrace a vegan diet before SHTF this article is a
Meat canning/storing is not my thing nor my focus. That said I have zero intent to be 100% vegan in SHTF but frankly the concept of not being mainly vegan in SHTF for everyone who is prepping is likely unachievable and unhealthy.

Around six years ago I stopped running (got suddenly sick of it) but for the 15 years before that it was basically a part-time job for me. Over that time I did around 100 marathons (42.2km 26.2 miles) and 100 ultramarathons (anything over 26.2 miles). Since getting into the concepts of prepping for SHTF I have been…
Editor’s Note: This post is another entry in the Prepper Writing Contest from Huples. One thing I love at Christmas is getting that one small present I was not expecting that delights me. Getting a mainstream literary book that has a pandemic as its theme definitely fulfilled that this Christmas. While “One Second After” by American writer William R. Forstchen will likely remain the required prepper fiction reading for years to come there is now a Canadian contender and boy is it ever a great read, eh! I think that of the two “Station Eleven” is by far the better…
Editor’s Note: This post is another entry in the Prepper Writing Contest from Huples. In this article, Huples address some medical myths that he believe is being advanced through some of the information on prepper sites and his perspective on steps you might need to take after a disaster. First off please do not take this as encouragement or advice. This article is strictly theoretical so stay safe and legal! My background is a couple of decades in trauma intensive care nursing and recently the excellent article on this site Ultralight Get Home Bag List prompted me to make a…
Editor’s Note: This post is another entry in the Prepper Writing Contest from Huples who can frequently be found contributing to our discussion in the comments section of many articles.

This article is a personal view of what makes Canadian prepping different from the States. Obviously, there are many similarities but for those thinking of bugging out to Canada,…
