INTRO
Eric –Welcome to episode #50 (Woo hoo!) of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded Jan 12, 2020.
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.
Tyler - My name is Tyler, and I’m broadcasting from my five-acre homestead here in Northwestern Wisconsin, USA. Since purchasing my first house, I have been working to turn my property into a self-sufficient homestead with an emphasis on preparedness.
Eric- Want to help support the show and keep the Canadian Prepper Podcast on the air? Buy a Canadian Prepper Podcast T-Shirt at www.rapidsurvival.com. All proceeds help keep the lights on, and the backup generator fueled!
Tyler -If you’re enjoying the show, please take a few minutes and like us on Facebook, facebook.com/CanadianPrepperPodcast and submit a review on itunes. Also we want your feedback, good or bad, or even if there is a topic you want us to cover. You can email us at feedback@prepperpodcast.ca
Eric – We have some well-preserved content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some preparedness related news articles. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode. Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - long term storage of valuables.

Colin -
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Eric -
Storage of valuables and firearms are fairly similar, extreme temperatures and moisture will be your main enemies. After that people looking to steal your firearms and valuables are the next thing to be worried about.
First off, follow all firearm safety rules before handling your firearm!
Firearms:
Break down your firearm for cleaning
Decock the firearm for storage, this takes tension off the springs. There are arguments for and against this. Do what you’re comfortable with
Give it a good wipe down, fingerprints leave all kinds of oil that can over time cause an issue (wear gloves)
Give your firearm a good ceaning, really good take a lot of time. After you’ve cleaned and cleaned it again apply a thin layer of gun oil to help protect any exposed metal parts
Thoroughly clean the bore, once its clean apply a thin layer of oil as well to help protect it
If you have a wood stock treat it with a wax to prevent swelling and cracking
Ammo:
Modern ammunition can be stored for decades
Biggest enemy for ammunition is heat, make sure its stored in a cool dry place
Get a container with a sealing gasket, this will help keep moisture out
A small desiccant pack will help control moisture
Storage Area:
Gun safe is the best option, most are designed to help protect against moisture
Use a silicone treated gun sock, helps protect against moisture and dings
Dehumidifier is KEY, I use an Eva-dry unit in my gun safe. No power needed just have to dry it out every once and a while by plugging it into an outlet for 24h
Don’t store your guns in cases, the linings (foam pads) attract moisture
Cardboard boxes are equally a bad choice due to moisture collection
Make sure the firearms aren’t touching or rubbing against each other
General
Make sure to take your firearms out every few months (they get lonely), have a look to make sure no rust is forming
Give them a quick oil and wipe down
Assess the dehumidification system, does it need to be recharged?
Tyler - Primary storage is my gun safe… https://www.stack-on.com/product/armorguard-64-gun-safe-72/.
Big bastard… 725lbs empty. Just moved it last weekend. Was in attached basement garage. High temperature swings and humidity, so moved into house. Nobody is walking away with that thing and theft is my biggest concern. Not a liberty but at half the price I love it.
-Fireproof for 30 minutes up to 1400° F (verified by an independent laboratory)
-4-way door locking with seven 1.5" live action locking bolts and three 1" dead bolts for a total of 10 locking points
When purchasing firearms, consider SS barrel/synthetic/polymer stock models over blued steel barrel/wood stock. More spendy but won't rust or deteriorate. OPSEC considerations...
All ammo is NOT created equally… Make sure your firearms correctly cycle that particular brand or grain count BEFORE stocking up with 1000’s of rounds.
Should last decades IF stored properly… Store in cool/dark place. Label and rotate ammunition just like food/water preps.
Vacuum sealed bags or ziploc bags w/ air squeezed out.
Steel and/or plastic ammo boxes.
For Transportation - Plastic/Aluminum hard protective cases w/ pick-n-pluck foam to perfectly hold your firearms. (Often used for photography/videography)(Pelicans are too spendy… go to Harbor Freight).
IP Rating = Durability/waterproofing/Etc.
Regular gun cases (pistol and/or long rifle)(OPSEC - Cedar Mill - guitar, airline approved, etc.).
All available at your local Harbor Freight,FleetFarm, and Menards. Obviously your outdoors stores (Cabelas, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, etc.) but they seem a little more spendy.
Harbor Freight, Fleet Farm, and Menards run some great deals on these items… Save$$$ but it's important to protect investments (i.e. guns and ammo...Guns will rust and ammo will go bad)
https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=ammo%20bo
Moisture Absorbers - Damprid and/or Arm & Hammer
https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/safes/safe-accessories/sports-afield-rechargeable-dehumidifier/xd-3/p-1560234824835-c-9573.htm $27 at menards. Works great. Stack-On makes one also.
Disposable Silica gel packets…
Homemade - salt/rice in tissue/cloth with ammo.
(Be careful with leakages on chemical moisture absorbers…)
Oiled gun wipes, gun oil, cleaning kits. TAKE PROPER CARE OF YOUR FIREARMS BEFORE STORING… CLEAN/CHECK REGULARLY… Refinishing/Bluing Rifles?
Secret cache? PVC or 55-gallon drum buried underground.
Fake/empty book on the book shelf
DVD case full of cash with all other DVD’s
False venting ducts or waste pipes
False outlet cover/light switches/heat register/cold-air return
Ian - Air salt, water bad. Constant temp even better. Condensation collects water.
Fun fact… gold and diamonds don’t rust. Silver indeed can be affected by storage. As can dollah dollah bills…..

Ballistol - sane idea. As good as windex
https://www.ballistol-shop.de/History-of-Ballistol:_:86.html
Break free
Vacuum sealer, 2 ply at least Rags to soften edges. Dessicant packs, O2 absorbers. Seal wood and metal parts separate.
Walmart ammo cans versus metal ammo cans.
4.88 each cross border. Check the seal, but Just as good
PVC pipe Seal it off ….versus threaded end cap. Proper adhesive and Silicone tape
Channel lock pliers to close
Places to hide:
Hide in plain sight. Diamonds in the aquarium:).
Dog house
, Inside tree trunks
False walls (Molson center) Buddy’s rental unit
Places no one wants to go. (Bottom of porta potty) Septic tank, fish ponds
Use easily remembered / found landmarks.
Don’t want a repeat of “Holes”
Removal of cosmoline…… Brake cleaner, heating up. Varsol. Garbage bag in the sun.
Acetone

Tyler - DHS (Department of Homeland Security) issued a National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin. Issued: January 04, 2020 05:15 pm. Expires: January 18, 2020 01:00 pm.
Details:
Iranian leadership and several affiliated violent extremist organizations publicly stated they intend to retaliate against the United States.
At this time we have no information indicating a specific, credible threat to the Homeland. Iran and its partners have demonstrated the intent and capability to conduct operations in the United States.
Previous homeland-based plots have included, among other things, scouting and planning against infrastructure targets and cyber enabled attacks against a range of U.S.-based targets.
Iran maintains a robust cyber program and can execute cyber attacks against the United States. Iran is capable, at a minimum, of carrying out attacks with temporary disruptive effects against critical infrastructure in the United States.
An attack in the homeland may come with little or no warning.
Be Prepared:
Be prepared for cyber disruptions, suspicious emails, and network delays.
Be responsible for your personal safety. Know where emergency exits and security personnel are located. Carry emergency contact and special needs information with you.
Implement basic cyber hygiene practices such as effecting data backups and employing multi-factor authentication. For more information visit CISA.gov.
