Hello from Victoria, Vancouver Island. Long time prepper, not so good at getting interactive with this website. (I'm sure it's just me.) I live in an apartment style condo, not much space, but I have always stored water and extra food and paper goods (never, ever run out of toilet paper). After the 9.0 in Japan I really got serious about my preparations, made Go Bags for my 2 adult children and myself, made sure the cat carrier had water and food under his sleeping pad. Then, I went out and got a 133 litre garbage can on wheels to store yet more stuff: wool blankets, tent & tarp, crank radio, sterno, kettle, axe, pry bar, sierra saw, t.p., plastic bags, more 'food' (instant, keep ya alive crap) and lots more stuff deemed necessary. I've secured all the bookcases and pictures to the walls and even put baby proof bands on my fridge/freezer (an improvement over the duct tape I hastily put on one night after looking at the USGS earthquake site). I consider myself one of the working poor, so everything has been bought from dollar stores, wal-mart or scrounged. I started searching the internet for emergency preparedness info, seeing if there was more I should/could do. Today I found the Utah preppers site, which is great, and it led me to this Canadian site, which I am very happy to see. Hope to see more Vancouver Island preppers.
