Hey there,
A hundred years ago prepping was normal, for the lean times before winter set in. I often wonder when I go to the grocery store...how many people would survive without them. There is a new mentality growing and I see it with all the new backyard gardens popping up and backyard chickens moving in. It warms my heart. I will teach my grandchild how to grow a carrot, an egg and how to make a loaf of bread. The more basic skills you can acquire the more self-reliant you become.
Hello from Vernon. Thankful that there are like-minded people out there.

Welcome to the forum George.

Hello l just came on bord, l'm from the yukon and l look forward to hearing other preppers thought.

Hey bry, welcome to the forum.
Glad to see the territories being represented!

Hi there.
I am Si. New to this site. Looking forward to meeting like minded people and learning more about prepping.

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking this forum on and off for awhile now and figured I might as well get off the fence and get active. I'm in Calgary and planning to check out as many meets as I can. I look forward to meeting people at the events and learn more about prepping.

Hi Si
there has been a lot said since I've joined this group, having said that I would advise, before asking any questions, drop a topic in the search box. Just about everything that you want to know has been spoken about, plus a few that you probably wish you hadn't heard about. 😈

Hi everyone, just joined up and hoping to meet other preppers in the Kingston area. Ive been prepping seriously for about 1 year now so still pretty new at it. I hope to learn from others and exchange ideas. If anyone is in the Kingston area please say hi and let me know if anyone is interested in a meet up. Cheers,

Great to find this site, and to see that regions have their own space for dialog.I'm in ontario.
I have lived/learned in several kinds of intentional communities over many years, and have been proposing yet another,... to be in relatively remote, central/northern ontario.
This has a great range of proposed features, and of course, central to its core is the developed abilities of its self-determined members to learn interdependence, as needed.

I've been looking for a long time for shareholders... of discovered like mind... to develop a joint situation with many more possibilities than a solo scenario can bring.
A consequence of such a living space is that it can be a learning place for others coming along to develop their own flavour of community to replicate.
That being said, i am also prepared to "go it alone" if there is insufficient shared vision of the possibilities .

If this is of interest to anyone , please feel free to indicate your wish to contact me offline , and i will provide an e-ddress to link to less public details... if that's how it can be done here.?
Meanwhile, i shall continue to learn more from you all , adding to my own accumulated resilience/skills...building,gardening,social dynamics....
Thank you all for what you're putting out there.

Welcome aboard gary11

Hello I am George Currently in Houston Fort Bend county area. I am a single parent. X Naval Nuclear RO trained. Also Electronics Tech cross trained EM/MM I worked after the navy for DOD/DLA in industrial controls and then Texas Instruments equipment engineering. I also have a strong computer science and information systems back ground. I guess in short there is little I can't build or get back working if possible. I also have small arms training and quite a bit of martial arts Judo and Shou Shu primarily. I know the stuff like first aid to the point of a first responder, rock climbing, I've ski dived solo, I know how to ride a horse ... and far more. My knowledge isn't as complete as I would like it. So I've sort of created myself a task of righting a book to include as many useful things that could be needed in the after math of any size event.

I went through a divorce about six years ago when I got sick from excessive work and stress. Your body and so on doesn't do well after 3 years of 2 hours sleep a night along with other issues. There's more to it, basically I had a massive amount of bad happen in my life at one time. Right now I am just trying to get my life back on track and find a productive use of my skills and knowledge.
