«-- Survival Labor and Delivery, by John O. MD | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Notes from JWR:
An item that was too important to bury
down in the Odd 'n Sods... Billy G. sent us this: Iodine
about to be regulated in US. Any solution over 2% will be restricted
as "precursors" for illicit drug manufacture. Billy's comment: "Can
nuke pills [potassium iodate] be far behind? I’m stocking up on Iodine
crystals while
I can." I strongly encourage readers to buy their "lifetime
supply" of Polar Pure water purifier, as soon as possible. (Two
or
three
bottles per family member should be about right.) Polar Pure, Betadine, and Potassium
Iodate (KI) are all available
from Ready Made
Resources. OBTW, I'm not sure if the sale of Betadine will be restricted,
since
it has its iodine ingredient listed as "10% Povidone Iodine = 1% Available Iodine."
So it might be wise to stock up on Betadine, as well. (Povidone is a polymerized
"iodophore" designed for slow release. Effectively it is only 1% iodine, but
you
know how bureaucrats operate. They may see the "10%" and start caterwauling.)
Today we present another article for Round 11 of the SurvivalBlog
non-fiction writing contest. The writer of the best non-fiction article
will win a valuable four day "gray" transferable Front
Sight course certificate. (Worth up to $2,000!) Second prize is a copy
of my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course, generously donated by Jake
Stafford of Arbogast Publishing. I will again be sending out a few complimentary
copies of my novel "Patriots" as "honorable
mention" awards. Round 11 ends on July 31st. Remember that articles
that relate practical "how to" skills
for survival will have an advantage
in the judging.
