When the grid goes down in the middle of winter, the stakes are higher than at any other time of year. Cold temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and storm-related outages can quickly turn a minor inconvenience into a survival situation. For preppers, having reliable off-grid emergency power sources during the winter is not just a comfort—it’s…
When most people think of preparedness, they imagine stockpiling food, learning survival skills, or setting up off-grid power systems. But in 2025, one of the biggest threats Canadians face isn’t necessarily a grid-down scenario — it’s economic instability. Inflation, soaring housing costs, rising food prices, and supply chain disruptions have forced many families to rethink…
When most Canadians think of hurricanes, they picture Florida, the Caribbean, or the Gulf Coast—not Toronto, Halifax, or Montreal. But the reality is that Atlantic hurricanes and their remnants have struck Canada many times, bringing widespread flooding, power outages, and billions in damages. One of the most instructive examples for Canadian preppers is Hurricane Sandy…
For most Canadian preppers, the focus is on staying put—building supplies, hardening the home, and riding out whatever comes. But sometimes, the wisest and safest move is to leave. Whether it’s a raging wildfire in Alberta, an ice storm that cripples Ontario’s grid, or flash floods in the Maritimes, the reality is this: you may…
When disaster strikes—whether it’s a prolonged power outage, a flood, or a nationwide supply chain disruption—your chances of thriving often depend less on how much you’ve stockpiled and more on the strength of your community. In Canada, where diverse climates and vast distances can make professional help slow to arrive, a Mutual Assistance Group (MAG)…
For many Canadians, the word “prepper” conjures images of rural retreats, woodlots, and stocked barns. But the reality is that the vast majority of our population lives in cities, condos, or suburban sprawl. That urban lifestyle brings with it unique limitations for preparedness—space constraints, reliance on infrastructure, and even the social dynamics of living shoulder-to-shoulder…
We’re taking a break from our regular format today. We’re simply going to repost a YouTube video with Tracey Wilson who has a recording of the Minister of Public Safety talking with a constituent. This is going to surprise you…buckle up!
Introduction: A War Without Bombs Modern society runs on invisible threads—fiber-optic cables, satellites, wireless networks, digital code. These unseen systems control everything from pumping water into your sink to moving billions of dollars across the globe. And while most people worry about storms, wildfires, or pandemics, the greatest threat to modern civilization may not come…
Introduction Across Canada, households are being squeezed by a perfect storm: inflation, housing costs, and supply chain disruptions. For the average Canadian, this means stretching grocery budgets and delaying purchases. For preppers, it creates a more serious challenge — how do you secure long-term resilience when every item costs more and is harder to find?…
The prepper community has long focused on singular emergencies — a blizzard, a power outage, a financial crash. But the world is changing. Increasingly, we’re facing what experts now call a polycrisis: multiple crises that overlap, amplify each other, and create unpredictable outcomes. For preppers, this shift demands a new way of thinking. It’s no…
