I'm an experienced drone pilot and that's how I would plan to contribute.

The Canadian Rangers use tikka t3x rifles which we can still legally buy. In the event of war you probably want something that can fire 7.62 NATO as that will be the ammo which is distributed.

Canada is mostly wilderness. A bolt action rifle still has a place in your pack. It is reliable and simple. Lightweight.

My 80yo father-in-law has some drones, he will be more useful than me, I should probably save for a good one and start practicing.

Found some tikka t3x on the used listing here, I was trying to find their brochure to see which model they recommend for conversion to 7.62, I imagine a .308 Win would work.
