So much prepping info is or originates from the U.S that this Canadian prepper has been wondering what the overall state of prepping is north of the border. My partner and I were discussing this last night. Guns and gun control figures prominently in the States, but we don't have that focus up here since our gun control laws are much more rigid. But we do have a government that undermines us in other ways. Selling off our resources to other countries for example. There was a big outcry when POTUS signed what many are calling the anti-prepper law, which basically said the gov't could confiscate any resources it deemed necessary. I wondered if the Canadian government has something similar. Our gov't is quieter about what it does and we don't have easy to find alternative media. At least I've never found any... Prepping seems to swing between getting a bad rap in the media and being heralded as "smart" depending on who is reporting. But there is no "yardstick" like that up here. Living out in the woods, I am surprised more are not self reliant up here. You might be surprised at how many are caught flat-footed when we are cut off by floods and landslides.
So I leave these questions out there for preppers and self sufficient types on both sides of the border...
* Did you start off being a prepper first or self sufficient first?
* Do you expect society will collapse?
* How do you see your area for being self sufficient? Is yours an area that supports those who do for themselves or do you live in an area that controls everything?
