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.

Sponsor?

Eric -
Ian -
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
Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Ian - Eat ‘em:)
Flushing game
Retrieving game
Guard dogs
Early warning
Companion / Emotional support
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 -
Make sure all collars and tags are up-to-date with identification information. Your ID tag should contain name, telephone number and any urgent medical needs. Be sure to also write your dogs name, your name and contact information on your carrier.
Always bring your dog indoors at the first sign or warning of a storm or disaster. Dogs can become disoriented and wander away from home in a crisis.
Bug Out Bag for your Dog - They can carry it themselves if big enough
Pet first-aid kit and guide book (ask your vet what to include)
3-7 days’ worth of canned (pop-top) or dry food (be sure to rotate every two months)
Liquid dish soap and disinfectant
Disposable garbage bags for clean-up
Dog feeding dishes and water bowls
Extra collar or harness as well as an extra leash
Photocopies and/or USB of medical records and a waterproof container with a two-week supply of any medicine your dog requires (Remember, food and medications need to be rotated out of your emergency kit—otherwise they may go bad or become useless)
At least seven days’ worth of bottled water for each person and dog(store in a cool, dry place and replace every two months)
A traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each dog
Flashlight
Blanket
Recent photos of your dog(in case you are separated and need to make “Lost” posters)
Extra leash, toys and chew toys, cage liner

http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/
Other media content - Jason Blaha, Fortunecookie45LC, the reloading podcast

Case lube
Press / Dies
A means of trimming cases. (generally) Not applicable to pistol brass
Case prep system
Primer system
Powder dispenser and scales.
Dial Calipers for OAL and trim length testing

PODCAST CHALLENGE
Cost it out to see if it works for you. To see if it’s financially worth it. https://www.dillonprecision.com/reloading-cost-calculator.html
Compare the cost per round with what you’re paying, and how much spare time you have, and what your time is worth.
Less common calibers with higher round usage, higher payoff. Ie 8mm Mauser and 1000year, this is you:)
