In this episode we discuss preparedness and new years resolutions, why they are probably not a good idea, and ways to build preparedness into your every day life without taking on the new years resolution hype. We touch on our personal preparedness journey and how we've improved our preparedness since the last episode, we discuss recent Canadian news articles related to preparedness. We challenge you with our weekly podcast challenge and chat about preparedness from a Canadian perspective. #prepper #NewYearsResolution #CanadianPrepperPodcast #Preparedness Join Us On Discord https://www.discord.gg/3E29Nq6US6 Links from the show: blizzard hits Us and canada over the holidays - 64 dead across the US but western New York (buffalo) hit exceptionally hard - over 40 dead (more than the blizzard of 77) https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/nyregion/western-new-york-storm.html Covid 19 testing by canada on pax from China “A political move not based on science” https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/canada-s-covid-19-restrictions-for-air-travellers-from-china-questioned-by-experts-1.6214557 Everything getting more expensive… https://globalnews.ca/news/9301122/cost-of-living-projections-bc-2023/ Machete attack Times square new years eve….. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/01/3-officers-injured-in-new-years-eve-machete-attack-near-times-square-officials-say.html https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-times-square-ball-drop-cop-stabbed-20230101-fr6dvd5vrjgy5ptgukzcj3noce-story.html Chilliwack gun show - Jan 22, 9 am https://gunshowtrader.com/gun-shows/hacs-chilliwack-gun-show/ RAC Basic Ham Radio Course Starts Thursday, January 26 and ending in early April 2023 https://www.rac.ca/basic-radio-course-spring-2023/ Canadian tire, 100W solar panel. 45% ($180) off. $219.99 https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/coleman-100-watt-12v-crystalline-solar-panel-0112099p.html?loc=plp Support Canadian Prepper Podcast Patreon – http://www.patreon.com/user?u=28073355 Shop: http://www.prepperpodcast.ca Podcast Challenge If you’re going to make a change, keep it quiet, make it achievable, realistic, and a steady progression.
