Hi all, I am new to this forum although I participate with a similar nickname in a few others. I live in the metro Vancouver area and my concern is earthquakes. I have always been a camping and outdoors guy and I have the nickname of pack rat amongst my buddies as I am a bit of a gear whore. 🙂 Through experience and the internet I have tried to upgrade my skills to be able to function with less gadgetry so I may take them as a luxury but not a necessity should disaster arise.

My attitude is to be prepared via common sense and knowledge, something I guess I learned back in Cub Scouts in the early 80's, I won't be storing 5000lbs of rice in the basement any time soon but I do have some EDC items and enough gear and supplies to get my small family through a period of disaster or lack of assistance, for a couple weeks at the least.

I also have a youtube channel where I try to encourage other folks to use common sense and prepare some items in case of emergency as well as I like to interact with other wildlife enthusiasts, preppers and bushcrafters and their channels.

I run a small landscape company and have been in the nursery and landscape industry since the late 80's.

Looking forward to interacting here.
