The Canadian Preppers Network would like to welcome it’s newest author, Christine Faraday. Christine believes in a down to earth, practical approach to being prepared. This belief did not come about easily and her approach to prepping has been streamlined over several years and several predicted crisis that did not come to fruition. For that…

Summer is over.  I’d cry if I wasn’t so tired of gardening and canning!  I wrote to a friend earlier this week that I’ve been praying for frost so I can quit with the garden but I was just kidding! I’ve had amazing success with my garden this year and considering the dry weather this…

As I’ve written many times before – I am a firm believer in food storage.  It’s an insurance policy that covers one of life’s most basic necessities – our daily food.

In my prepping journey I have had some strange looks when I mention I am aiming for food storage for a year (I have a long way to go!)  Some people have asked if I’ve switched faiths and become Mormon – ah no.  I believe however they DO have the right idea when it comes to food…

Howdy Folks, It has been a great journey so far!! WOW!! Canada Day in Ottawa. A must see, at least once in a lifetime, for every Canadian. Sorry for the big delay since my last post. I have had some tech difficulties, lack of time and a lack of internet access. After an 18 hour…

Howdy Folks, T – 50 minutes and then we hit the road. First camp, Moose Jaw, SK. I will post an update a little later. Mountainman.
