Canapreppreparedness, counted

Preparedness, counted.

Canaprep is written for a Canadian outage — the kind that arrives in February, with the roads already bad and the house already cold. Everything here is metric, winter-first, and worked out as arithmetic rather than encouragement.

What this is

A working-out, in public. How much water one person actually needs for three days, and what that looks like in containers you own. How much heat leaves a house per hour at −25 °C, and which of your options survives the first night. Which food you already eat, so the pantry rotation is not a project you abandon in March.

An index, not a feeling. The Family Preparedness Audit scores 75 questions across ten domains and returns a number. You can watch the number move. That is the whole point of it.

What this is not

Not thisBecause
A gear storeBuying equipment is the easy half, and it is the half that stops people finishing.
A doomsday feedFear is a poor planning input. Numbers hold up better under pressure.
American advice, rescaledGallons, Fahrenheit and a balmy winter are not the problem you have.
One person's opinionWhere a claim depends on a standard, it names the standard.

The daily briefing

Canaprep does not report the news. Every item on the daily briefing links to its original publisher and is summarised from that publisher's own feed, with the source named and the timestamp shown. If a headline matters to your plan, open the source and read it.

Thirty days, starting from nothing

The 30-days serial follows one household through a grid-down month from an empty cupboard — hour by hour on the first day, then one day at a time. It is the honest version: mistakes included, and the working-out shown.
