Some Tips for Off-Grid Living ~ Cascadia Resilience and Robust Survival © ™ ®

My one and only job at present is to protect my grandchildren and their grandmother. In the face of all opposition I stand firm with my experience and knowledge about earthquakes, seismology and volcanism. I've lived through them all, BIG and small. Those that have not smelled the Sulfur at the top of Mt. Baker / Kulshan or lived through a magnitude 7.0 to 7.5 earthquake, as I did, nor a magnitude 8.1, as I did. DON'T HAVE A CLUE.

Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock . There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just in the District of North Vancouver.

If you are not mentally and physically in good shape, not frightened to do all of this on your own, not fully equipped and practiced in outdoor survival skills, then don't even try to do most any of this. If a really BIG earthquake hits expect to live by yourself, outside, for a long, long time.

Keeping It Wild

An over view of my first 4 years as a possum trapper in remote bush. Edit: We have had a lot of comments from people regarding the legality of trapping possums in national parks and also fears of over hunting etc, this has clearly come from those of you over seas so I thought I better clear a few things up for you all (thanks for watching!) So in a nutshell possums are an introduced marsupial brought to New Zealand from Australia about 150 years ago by humans. They have no non human predators here and so they rapidly grew in numbers far greater than in their natural environment. Exactly how much damage possums do to the native wildlife is somewhat a micro debate but almost everyone agrees some form of control/predation is better for both the bush and even the health of the possums. The NZ government class them as a pest and have been trying and failing to eradicate them from our country for decades, the governments way of doing this is mostly by dropping 1080 poison from helicopters over the bush which kills a lot of none target animals, gets into the food chain and is also a slow killer. There are a lot of people against this practice including myself. Trapping possums for fur & (meat were practical to get it out of the bush) is the most environmentally ethical method of control we have. Hence it is fairly straightforward to get a permit to trap in a national park, it is also free (Te Urewera is no longer a national park but thats a story for another day). Hope that cleared a few things up for some of you. And thanks for all the kind comments! Apologies if I haven’t replied to you yet, cheers.
