INTRO
Eric –Welcome to episode #41  of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded October 24, 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show.  I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.

Alan - Not much this week sadly. Was invited to join the local Community Emergency Response team which helps manage shelters and recovery efforts in the event of a disaster. More to come on that, but I’m seeing an opportunity to educate others about the importance of preparedness

Hugues - 
Alan - My little 6lb Maltese won’t do much flushing or retrieving, but he’s an excellent alarm system. With him around, I know when anyone’s within a hundred yards of the property. Being so small, he doesn’t eat much and is easily portable in the event of a bugout. 
 
Eric -
