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!

For those of you who have been prepping for awhile these may sound somewhat familiar!  Stage One: Something or someone has scared-your-eyes-open to the fact that the world is not what it used to be and trouble of various kinds are brewing.  You freak out, go to the grocery store to buy a case of…
