10:20 – 10:50am: Survival Essentials – Beyond the Basics: Hello, I’m Kaz. I am a father and survivalist. Since the age of six, I have been involved in numerous outdoor activities with my family. You could say the wilderness has been a big part of my life. Another big part of my life is my career of 16 years in the package delivery logistics industry. These lifelong experiences have been rewarding for my family. In 2008, after the economic crash, I was thrust into unfamiliar situations. It was then I decided to dig deeper into living off the land, both in being alone practicing survival by myself, and in group settings. Sharing my six years of bushcraft and survival experience may aid those along in their preparedness journey.
