The KIDS of Five 56 Concepts Canada Release New Videos!!!

Evenin' All,

The Kids of Five 56 Concepts Canada have published two more videos on YouTube. Both are worth watching and I will post the links to both videos.

The video on shelter building is very helpful and useful, especially for anyone who will have to live at their Safe Zone / Bugout Location for a prolonger period of time. What I like the most, is these shelters are made with mostly natural resources, a couple of poly tarps and basic gear you would carry in a bugout bag or in your vehicle.

Here is the link:



The second video I will link to is actually their first video in this series, and it is a show & tell video about the gear they carry in their rucksacks. The more bugout bags and kit lists you get to review the better you can make your own bugout bag. In case anyone forgot, fitness is a G.O.O.D. skill. You have to be fit to carry a 60lbs ruck cross-country for prolonged periods of time......just saying.

Here is the link:


These videos are great learning tools for all in the emergency preparedness community. Kids teaching kids, is an awesome idea. Kids teaching adults, is even better.

There may be stormy weather ahead, for all of us on planet Earth. Take this time to learn new skills and practice old ones. The time may not be too far off when those with the skills and the knowledge will be needed, again.

Take care of each other, help your neighbours,
Learn somethin' new!!
