As moderator for the International Preppers Network Forumand the Canadian Preppers Network Forum, I have had the opportunity to interact with preppers from across the country and around the globe.  In fact, I have been so lucky as to have met some of them face to face.  Thy come from all walks of life…professionals, blue…

It’s been blazing hot here in Ontario as it has been in many areas of North America over the past few months.  We’ve been reasonably comfortable except for last weekend – even with every trick I could think of it was too hot to do much of anything that required exertion!
