14. Preparedness: Thriving in a World of Uncertainty, with Canadian Prepper
Prepare to have your perspective on preparedness reshaped as we sit down with Nate from Canadian Prepper, a voice of reason and guidance in the world of survivalism and self-reliance. Amid the chaos of a global pandemic, Nate's insights on the surge in demand for trustworthy information over basic survival skills and gear reviews underscore the complexities that content creators face, especially when navigating the realms of censorship and demonetization. His dedication to providing authentic analysis is a beacon for those seeking to understand and adapt to the uncertainty of our times.
Venturing further into the heart of readiness, our chat traverses the landscape of the Bugout Roll, Nate's invention catering to the organized prepper. Yet, it's not just about the gear; it's about the evolution from simple emergency bags to the grand vision of a self-sustainable homestead, a testament to the depth of the prepping community's journey. We confront the post-pandemic proliferation of exploitative companies, the stigma of prepping, and the indispensable role of community in forging a bulwark against burgeoning global threats like climate change and cyber warfare.
Rounding out our discussion, we tackle the societal vulnerabilities laid bare by the pandemic, emphasizing the necessity of preparedness for personal freedoms and societal resilience. Nate's perspective on the preparedness of the wealthy versus the resourcefulness of indigenous communities offers a profound take on global instability and technological advancements. Our exploration doesn't just inform—it empowers you to take ownership of your preparedness in a world where personal responsibility is the cornerstone of collective security. Join us for this profound episode that will leave you contemplating the role of preparedness in an unpredictable future.

Clearing Forest for New Buildings, The Chainsaws I Use and Preparing for Maple Sugar Season
An unseasonably warm and dry December allows me to clear massive beech trees to prepare for my next major building projects. I explain what chainsaws I use and I use a tractor to move a heavy maple syrup boiler into place. I explain why I'm building three more structures in this location and how I plan on keeping busy and productive when it's time to shelter in place.

A Bull Moose Attacked my Deer Target | Details of my 2023 Deer Hunt
As the 2023 harvest season winds down, my freezers are full of wild game and produce from the garden as I hunt and process my last animal of the year, the most mature whitetail deer buck on my property. Three bull moose and a cow are hanging around the cabin right now and one or more of the bulls attacks my deer archery target, breaking it's legs.
I explain the challenges wild animals face in my area, from competition for limited resources to deep snow and wolves, and where the deer go when the snow gets deep as it is now.

Thirteen Years to Self Reliance | Freeing my Family from Authoritarianism
Taking the final steps in food security over the last three months has convinced me that the self reliance foundation I starting laying thirteen years ago has finally resulted in the freedom that I've been seeking since I was a teenager 40 long years ago. I believe that at least the next 7 years are going to be tough, with high inflation, diminishing freedom of speech, mobility and quality of life and decreased access to healthy foods, clean water, cheap energy and rural living.
In this video, I document my life in Canada from September to December, including hiking in the mountains, flyfishing, bowhunting of small and big game (moose and deer), growing and storing food, making lard and bone broth, fleshing hides, cutting and wrapping wild meat and many encounters with wildlife - bear, deer, moose, caribou, bighorn sheep, pika, chipmunks, grouse, turkeys and more.

Building an Off Grid Cold Cellar, Log Cabin Life, Cast Iron Cooking
I'm finishing the root cellar one section at at time - this week I install a floor in the breezeway section, move the freezer back into place and set up a metal rack to store mason jars full of preserved and dried food. On the new wood cookstove, I make moose and lasagna sandwiches with fresh homemade sourdough bread.

Managing My Forest for Firewood
My land has a large diversity of micro ecosystems with different tree and plant species in each zone. Directly around the cabin, the ground is deep sand with a thin layer of organic matter on top and supports mostly pine, fir and spruce with pockets of old and dying shade intolerant species such as cherry, red maple, ironwood and birch. Since these are low quality and dying off, I'm harvesting them for firewood and leaving the superior quality red oaks and sugar maples to become the dominant species in select areas. For wildlife, I'm cutting openings in the forest where those same shade intolerant species can thrive along with quaking aspen, all important wildlife foods. Around the workshop, Beech bark disease is killing all of the mature trees and occurs as the result of an insect-fungus complex where an invasive beech scale insect feeds on the bark of the tree, creating cracks that allow a native canker fungi (Nectria) to enter. The mature trees are falling and are being replaced by hundreds of beech root sprouts, creating thickets of trees that also die as soon as they reach a certain age and size, starting the process over again.

Meat Eater | Moose, Deer and Bear from the Wilderness, Bone Broth, Tallow in the Cold November Rain
Cold November rain, snow and mild sunny weather from one day to the next, but all suitable temperatures to butcher and wrap moose, bear and deer steaks and mincemeat and to render tallow and simmer bone broth on the wood cookstove in the outdoor kitchen. The challenges of harvesting, processing and storing meat at an off grid log cabin homestead are apparent this year and I talk about what plans on have to make next year's harvest season more efficient.

Installing a New Wood Cook Stove in my Off Grid Log Cabin
The wood stove I've been using for the past two years has functioned well as a source of heat, but it was less than ideal for cooking. This week, I remove it and install a LaNordica Rosa L cookstove, complete with an oven and removable rings for stove top cooking. To test out the oven, I bake a loaf of bread, which turned out perfectly in the easy to control oven where I kept the temperature at 450F for the full 45 minutes of baking time.
Check out my other channel to see the installation in a little more detail with explanations, and visit my Patreon channel to hear what's going on in my life the other 167 hours per week.

Growing, Harvesting and Storing a Year's Worth of Food in Cold Cellar Under a Log Cabin
Winter's coming and I've been focusing on harvesting, preserving and storing a year's supply of food in my cold storage under my log cabin, including a freezer full of meat and shelves full of root vegetables, squash, pickles, freeze dried meals and more. This week, I harvest the last of the garden, build a door for the cellar and build heavy shelves to store the pails of grains, corn, pasta, milk, rice, MREs and freeze dried vegetables and fruit.

Off Grid Log Cabin Life | Long Term Food Storage, Moose Hunting, Solar Power, Firewood, Archery
A busy autumn week focused on food, heat and power - harvesting vegetables from the garden and storing them in the cold cellar, installing solar panels for electricity, moose hunting for meat, cutting firewood and shingling the firewood shed, traditional archery practice for deer season, cooking with cast iron on the wood stove and keeping my dog Cali the golden retriever entertained.

A Wild Life with my Family
I have been off YouTube and off grid for the past few weeks exploring Canada with my wife, daughters and Cali, our Golden Retriever - three weeks of camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, filming and photographing wild scenes and wild life. My wife, Cali and I drive 13,000 kilometres from Ontario across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska. We're joined by our daughters Erin and Emily for a week in Kananaskis, Banff and Jasper before we part ways and the three of us head north on the Alaska highway through the northern Rockies and back down the Stewart Cassiar Highway east of the coastal mountains, camping in remote areas and fire evacuation zones. Along the way, we film log cabins, wild fires, grizzly and black bears, woodland caribou, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, fox, birds, mountains, rivers, clear blue lakes, glaciers, autumn colors and waterfalls.
