One day I was alone. but I heard my grandson say, I am hungry. I felt pure panic as I began to think, what if I couldn't feed my family. Every instinct I had urged me to prepare. The more I tried to convince my family, the more they resisted. The more I thought about What if, the more I felt I had no control. I had zero skills. slowly I began to learn. I started a garden, began learning about edible weeds, made mental maps of all the fruit and nut trees in my area, all the while telling my family. Three days. They would look at me as if I had lost my mind. I cant tell you how many times I heard. What do you think is going to happen. When COVID hit, and we weren't prepared, they witness. Three days. and they finally felt the panic. I am proud to say. We are now preparing. but we still need to do so much more. I wanted to thank you for your video as I am working on our Go Bags. Our bags will need to get us from point A to point B and I will be able to keep them simple. We finally have a plan. There won't be much need for bush crafting, Still, you never know. I am considering slingshots, but again my knowledge is zero. and we would all have to start learning. I will now be adding energy powder. so I wanted to thank you for sharing your bag content with us. would also like to add how much I have enjoyed watching your cabin build I am so wowed. love your furbaby. he is adorable. Hope you and those you love are safe. and again. ty.

A buddy of mine, back when, was canoe tripping north of Quebec City (parc Jaques-Cartier) and picked up giardia. Very competent canoe tripper, back country hiker but slipped up this once. He gave me a stern warning about filtering water as he got very sick, heaving for several days and lost a mess of weight. Spooked me, big time because he was so competent and I had a lot of respect for him.

A tip from someone who has worked in the bush in Canada for numerous years. Dental floss. it is strong and could be used for sewing, sutures, light lashing, fishing all sorts of things. I keep it in my FA kit and would reccomend to anyone that frequents the bush. cheers great video. Thank for the share.

Everything looks good but if I were you I would add flex tape for canoe repairs it is water proof and can be used under water also it may be a little pricey but well worth it just in case comes with a life time garuntee and works great in an emergency on canoes, tents, ect.

Well thought out bag! Thanks for sharing! I canoed around in Algonquin park, back in the early eighties. It was great. Kayak, around Vancouver Island these days. I have a survival kit, in my life jacket, always on. Always other gear, also. Keep a smile on!

Great lightweight loadout. Good pack setup. I'd suggest switching out the SOL for the SOL Escape. I've had problems with the normal bivvy getting condensation it as breathable as the Escape.

Pretty much what I carry in my daypack, although I have a tube of super glue in the small first aid kit and also carry sawyer water filter.
