Outdoor Survival and Urban Disaster Preparedness
Do you know what to do if you were lost in the woods? Can you survive before help can find you or you can find it? I've always thought about this when I take a walk in the woods. Although, the woods in my neighbourhood is by no means extreme wilderness but I've always had this thought. Would I have to eat bugs? Would I be able to build a fire? Can I eat the leaves from the bush? How can I get help?
How about at home? Would you be able to survive during an extended power outage due to severe weather? Do you have enough food and water? How do you keep warm?
Not to worry! There is help…
The North York Central Library’s Science and Technology department is hosting a workshop to help you get prepared. Learn how to construct bug-out survival and safety kits, how to select proper backcountry clothing, what types of backup power alternatives are available (e.g. solar invertors, gas generators, etc.), and how to formulate a survival game plan for the outdoors and at home.
