❄️ Ontario Ice Storm: Lessons in Real-World Preparedness

In Episode 265 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, we break down the recent Ontario ice storm—a severe weather event that left thousands without power, disrupted transportation, and tested the limits of personal and community preparedness.

We discuss real-world experiences from listeners and hosts alike, what gear held up, what didn’t, and how to adapt your preparedness strategy for future winter storms and cold-weather grid failures.

✅ Ice storm impacts on power and infrastructure

✅ How people survived multi-day blackouts

✅ Backup power systems: solar, gas, and battery banks

✅ Heating and cooking alternatives when the grid is down

✅ Staying connected: communications and situational awareness

✅ Vehicle readiness during severe freezing conditions

✅ Community coordination and mutual aid

✅ What we’ll do differently next time

Whether you're in Ontario or any region prone to ice storms, blizzards, or freezing rain, this episode will give you actionable insights into how to prep smarter for winter-related grid-down scenarios.
