Prepper Nurse (from YouTube) has posted this new video:

The message is clear, those who are in the emergency preparedness community, the time is NOW! To share your knowledge with others in your local community. If a community survives a disaster, almost everyone will survive a disaster. If you are holed up in your bunker and when you exit, there may not be anything to exit to!!

Share your knowledge and grow a community!!

This workshop will use a meteorite impact as the disaster event and wants the focus to be around how to best employ volunteers during a disaster. If you have any good ideas you want to share, then I recommend making yourself available for this workshop.

The Town of High River contact person is: Ms. Megan CORREIA e-mail: mecorreia@highriver.ca

I am still a firm believer in; working together, we can overcome any obstacle.

Cheers,

A G.O.O.D. Fire Lighting Kit

Metal Match & Pouch

Here is a G.O.O.D. Fire Lighting Kit, the Metal Match. Available from many sources, I got mine from Amazon.ca, because it shipped for free.

http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=B00U21NMDO&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AB00U21NMDO

The Metal Match was quite affordable, less than $30 for 20 units.The pouch on the other hand, I had to build myself. If you want to learn how to build a pouch like this visit:

You can find more pictures and plans for making a pouch for the Metal Match.

Metal Match in Pouch

So, why is the Metal Match a good choice? First off it is compact. Second it is very light-weight. And, third, it will light many, many fires before it has been used up. The cost is also a valid reason for ordering a few for each BOB and/or BOV.

A small bottle of kerosene or lighter fluid will be needed to make the Metal Match fully functional, as they cannot be shipped with a combustible fluid inside.

This can be used as part of your larger fire making kit or as a stand alone mini kit.

Keep the home fires burning,

Wilderness First Aid from Inside Out Experience

Inside Out Experience

 I do not advertise, but I will endorse those who need to be recognized. This past weekend I enjoyed upgrading my first aid training and achieving Basic Wilderness First Aid - 20 hour. 

This training would not be possible without the excellent instructors Brent & Andrew from Inside Out Experience ( http://insideoutexperience.com/ ). Thanks for the great training.

As with other emergency preparedness skills, first aid must be kept current. Re-certifying every two years is a good idea. In my area of the world first aid is classified as Emergency Level (8 hour), Standard (16 hour) and then Wilderness First Aid - 20 hour, 40 hour and 80 hour. Wilderness First Aid is designed for rural activities that are more than 20 minutes from an advanced medical care facility. Those who find themselves in a post-disaster situation will be on their own for at least 72 hours, to be ready you may want to work your way toward getting a 40 hour Wilderness First Aid certification.

Keep you skills current....keep learning,

VAM.
