Wildfires

Kootenay prepper · 2018-08-01T11:08:00Z

With 2017 BC wildfire season being the worst and 2018 having these heatwaves it’s looking like these bad wildfire seasons across Canada are going to become the new norm. This spring the town I live near made large fire breaks around the town in the heavily forested areas. My future property the in laws are planning on selling to us we’ve already started planning to prepare it to become more resistant to wildfires. We put on a metal roof and planning on doing metal siding next year. We started making a 100 foot fire resistant buffer zone around the house and clearing the dead brush and trees. There is no way to stop a wildfire from destroying everything you have but with more people being proactive to make there properties more fire resistant it will help our firefighters to get a handle on these destructive fires. I’m hoping people will post what they are doing to protect their property to give others ideas of what they can do to be prepared.

I am glad others did a better job of saying what was on my mind. Sheep for fire control. This came out today.

In other news, I lifted a shipping container today using bottle jacks. Its my fire proof building. It was on my list of Honey Do, before the apocalypse chores. Here is some of my other chores... https://darkgreenmountainsurvivalresearchcentre.wordpress.com/2018/08/26/the-doom-loop-with-c5/

I have a Tactical Harness and I have a Tool Belt. The Tool Belt is more Useful.
