PAL-Vancouver-EatWild

Join EatWild for a hunter-oriented firearms training course. Our PAL course is designed to ensure new hunters can build the confidence, knowledge, and skills to safely and effectively use firearms.

CFSC is an introductory firearm safety course intended for all new firearms users and as a prerequisite for obtaining a Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) for Non-restricted firearms. This course provides students with the knowledge of firearm laws and confidence for safe-handling. Our classes provide a relaxed and friendly class atmosphere where beginners won’t feel intimidated.
This course mainly focuses on firearms which are classed as “Non-Restricted”. This group is comprised mainly of rifles and shotguns that are commonly used for hunting and target shooting.

To ensure that our students meet the full requirements of the Canadian Firearms Program and in accordance our authorization from the RCMP to provide the CFSC, the course consists of 10 hours classroom training time in Vancouver, BC, not including breaks or exam time. The course is offered over one long day.

We ask that our students come prepared with snacks and bagged lunch that they can eat while in class.

By successfully completing the PAL, and passing both the written and practical tests, participants will be able to:

  1. Handle Non-Restricted firearms and ammunition safely
  2. Use, store and transport Non-Restricted firearms and ammunition safely and responsibly
  3. Apply for a Non-Restricted Firearms Licence (PAL) having received the required “Safety Training Certification.”
  4. Complete their BC Hunter Education Course (CORE) without having to take the CORE Practical Firearms Exam
  5. Go on to take the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC)

Rob Wilson

“The first time I shot a deer, it was really interesting. I was elated and sad at the same time. It’s not a pleasant thing to kill an animal. I enjoy being out of the wilderness, I enjoy being close to nature, and I enjoy bringing meat to my family, but that actual feeling of killing an animal is hard. It’s a full gamut of emotions,” he says.

Nobody in Rob’s immediate… Read More ≫

Registration Notes

Most of my hunting and fishing partners are women. Most of my hunting and fishing partners are women. This shouldn’t be weird but it is for some people. From these experiences, I have learned that women deal with a pile bullshit on their journeys to be SEEN as a hunter or a fisher.  With work, I am optimistic that more people will see:
• @nolasemczyszyn as the fisher who is my “go-to” for local knowledge for fishing
• @jennyp403 as the hunter who shared her knowledge, secret spot and mentored me on my first bear hunt
• Jody @wildnorthernway for sharing her expertise with me about how to take care of moose meat in the field
• @xenathewarriorprincesswastaken as the captain of her boat that won the fishing derby
• or see successful hunters in front of a meat pole and not find that a confusing picture. 
• I could go on... and I want to hear your stories. We have lots more work to do in the community of hunters and fishers. EatWild is committed to building an inclusive and supportive place for women to learn to hunt, fish, and gather wild food.

Boat, house, and Miki. Finally getting it togethe Boat, house, and Miki.  Finally getting it together. It’s been over 10 years since I moved to Vancouver from this lonely paradise in Secret Cove on the Sunshine Coast. Pleased to be making my way back to this not-so-lonely paradise with Miki. So many coastal adventures ahead. #eatwild
An exception day of prawn fishing with @_mi.kee. T An exception day of prawn fishing with @_mi.kee. This is Miki’s first time setting the traps, and the best prawning I have had in 15 years.  The prawn population is cyclical. Hopefully we will enjoy a few more good pulls, cause Miki may have to brace for 15 years of disappointing sets after this start to the prawn season! Thanks @pacificnetandtwine and @fishinglurelife for the new prawn kit! #pacificspotprawns #spotprawns #eatwild #eatwhatyoucatch #fishingbc

There's lots of good info in this podcast to stay safe on your next adventure. 

Everything is "unprecedented" this past year, including the number of search and rescue calls for people on outdoor adventurers.  More people than ever are getting out into our wilderness to take refuge from the challenges that have come with the pandemic.  AdventureSmart and Sandra Riches are working to reach folks to help them get prepared for their outdoor adventures so their trip doesn’t result in another call to 911.

Black cod and chopped scallop rolls for Sunday din Black cod and chopped scallop rolls for Sunday dinner.  I did not catch either, but I am truly appreciating the novelty. @varda_the_safety_bear and I have embarked on a black cod finding mission. I am inspired after that dinner. Also curios about diving for scallops. #eatwild #blackcod
An old saying goes...there’s more than one way t An old saying goes...there’s more than one way to skin a moose. I’ll show you a few ways at our EatWild Butchering and Meat Care Webinar on February 23rd at 7 pm pst. 

This is an old photo of my late father Bud showing me how to skin and break up a moose into quarters. We were lucky to shoot this moose on the lake shore and we were able to float him back to camp where there was a bobcat for hire.  My dad was insistent that we bring these moose quarters to the butcher without a hair or a speck of dirt on  them. A carefully planned process will ensure that the meat stays clean from beginning to end. I was so fortunate to have a father who always placed the utmost importance on meat care the field. I’ll share what I have learned over a lifetime of taking care of meat from the field to the table.  @ulliekrack #eatwild #moosehunting #wildmeat #meateater #huntbc #huntingbc #sumasmeats
Part 3 of The Pole Bender Adventure We survived 3 Part 3 of The Pole Bender Adventure

We survived 3 days of the storm and then another 5 days of being stuck in the tent waiting for the skies to clear.  So that's about 192 hours with 4 guys sharing 36 square feet of real estate.  We pulled it off and we are all still friends. Catch up with our crew as we debrief the Pole Bender Adventure. We reflect back on the decisions and the gear that kept us safe. Also, we share another near-disaster story as we make the flight out of the mountains.  Lots of good info in this podcast if you are planning an adventure hunt this year. 

Thanks for listening!

About EatWild

We are a young, Vancouver-based company, so we understand the negative stereotypes which have long been paired with hunting. Over-sized pickup trucks? Road signs with bullet holes? Hick shooting jokes? We’ve heard them all. EatWild wants to be part of something new...
