Canadians Interested in Self-Sufficiency

Canadians Interested in Self-Sufficiency

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Canadians interested in self-sufficiency has risen. 

Dave MacDonald, International Canadian School of Survival owner, says he saw an increase in enrollments after the crisis. People realized how unprepared they were when food and toilet paper was not readily available. The basic survival skills such as land navigation, building fires, food rationing, and firearm training are some of the classes MacDonald teaches to help survivalists be prepared for catastrophes.

One online group, “Preppers & Survivalists of Canada,” has over 6,000 members. Leader of the group Ryan Pearce doesn’t choose to live off the grid but enjoys learning bush craft as a hobby. Some members are moms wanting to know how to refrigerate meat like their grandparents used to do or just preparing food out of gardens.
