Vehicle Survival
Chains and a good quality metal shovel should always be carried. Add additional clothing and equipment needed by the average number of passengers you carry.
Survival kit
The Red Cross recommends that you keep a disaster preparedness kit in your home with enough supplies to meet your family’s needs for at least 72 hours.

Dressing for the cold
When active keep comfortable cold to prevent sweating, and when inactive use enough insulation to be comfortable warm.

This philosophy is very much at odds with Survival Television that needs to make a Survival Situation dangerous, scary, and very stressful so that its audience is entertained.
Boreal Forest
Canada’s boreal forest is central to the country’s natural environment, history, culture and economy. Canada respects and looks after its boreal forest in many ways, including by setting aside legally protected areas, conducting scientific research and monitoring the state of the forests.
