I am Ken, I am new to prepping, I have been a survivalist for long time now, I camp a lot and put myself in SHTF practice type scenarios that require me to use and learn skills needed to survive in Canada's not always so great climate... I have had for about 15 years now I guess you could call it a advanced bug out bag plus a separate bag with a two week supply of food/water for my wife and I in case something happened that would force us to leave in a hurry. With the economy the way it is and the foreseeable future not looking so bright I am starting to prepare to "Bug In" as well as being prepared to bug out, anyways the posts I have found here have been really helpful, I went from newb to half decent prepper in a very short time, I joined these forums to say THANK YOU to everyone who has shared helpful info's, if I find anything helpful I will be sure to share with you guys as well.
