A Weekend Of Skills, Community, And Real Preparedness Preppers Meet has never been just about sitting in a chair and listening to someone talk. It is about showing up, meeting people who take preparedness seriously, learning something useful, and leaving with a better sense of what you actually need to work on next. Before anything…
A Full Day Of Skills, Presentations, Demonstrations, And Community Saturday at Preppers Meet is shaping up to be a full day of learning, hands-on skills, practical demonstrations, and community time. Today’s lineup brings together a wide range of preparedness topics, from personal readiness and outdoor skills to communications, water, security, and real-world self-reliance. Whether you…
Knowledge Becomes Preparedness Only When You Put It Into Practice Walk through any preparedness event and you will see tables full of impressive gear. Radios, water filters, first aid kits, knives, solar equipment, food preservation tools, emergency lighting, and enough gadgets to fill a trailer. There is nothing wrong with buying quality equipment. Good gear…
Self-Reliance Also Means Handling Minor Disagreements Like An Adult Preparedness attracts independent people. That is one of its strengths. We value self-reliance, personal responsibility, practical skills, and the ability to solve problems without waiting for someone else to step in. That same mindset should apply to minor disagreements. Whether you are camping with friends, travelling…
Setting Up a Safe, Functional Camp When You Arrive Tired, Hungry and Running Out of Daylight After hours on the road, the temptation is to stop the vehicle, pull out a chair and declare the journey over. In a real bug-out, however, reaching a destination is only half the job. Before darkness, bad weather or…
Convoy Travel When Roads, Fuel and Communications Can No Longer Be Taken for Granted Under normal conditions, travelling with several vehicles is mostly an exercise in inconvenience. Someone leaves late, another person needs fuel, and at least one driver misses the turn even though everyone has the address. After a major collapse, that same lack…
How preparing for Preppers Meet exposes weak points in your gear, organization, and emergency plans Preppers Meet week is here, and across Ontario people are pulling tents from basements, digging camp stoves out of garages, checking sleeping bags, charging batteries, and trying to remember where they stored everything after the last camping trip. On the…
Wildfire evacuations, destructive storms, flooding, expanding drone warfare and a major civil-defence exercise shaped the week. Preparedness stories rarely arrive as isolated emergencies. This week, Canadian communities faced wildfires, flooding and severe storms while events overseas demonstrated how quickly infrastructure, transportation and civilian services can become entangled in a larger crisis. From evacuated northern communities…
A comfortable weekend outdoors begins with your own food, power and routine—not campground services. A campsite should be treated as a patch of ground, not a hotel room surrounded by trees. Anything beyond that patch of ground—electricity, prepared meals, refrigeration, internet access or other conveniences—is a bonus. When campers arrive expecting to provide those things…
After a nuclear attack, indoor crops could protect part of your food supply from fallout—but they cannot replace stored calories, clean water or dependable power.
