Notes from JWR:
The current SurvivalBlog
Benefit Auction ends at midnight (eastern time) tonight.
The high bid for the lot is now at $300.
This auction is for four items: a MURS Alert Base station, a MURS Alert Hand-held
transceiver,
an earbud, and a Kaito KA-1102 AM/FM/Shortwave. These radios were kindly
donated by the owner of Affordable Shortwaves and MURS Radios. If you aren't
familiar with the Dakota Alert infrared perimeter security system, take a
few minute to look at the
Dakota Alert web site. These alarms are very reliable and versatile.
I often recommend them to my consulting clients--especially those that plan
to have lightly-manned retreats. You can easily set up multiple detector/transmitter
sensors to provide 360 degree perimeter security for a large area. Instead
of just a generic alarm, they will let you know which sensor was
tripped, via a computer-generated voice message to a radio that you can carry
on your belt. (Such as "Alert, Zone Two.") The same radio can be
used for point-to-point voice communications, on the little-used MURS band.
The three radios have a retail value of $210, plus shipping. Please e-mail us
your bids, in $10 increments.
Today we present another article for Round 16 of the SurvivalBlog
non-fiction writing contest. The writer of the best non-fiction article
will win two valuable four day "gray" transferable Front
Sight course certificates. (Worth up to $4,000!) Second prize is a copy
of my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course, generously donated by Jake
Stafford of Arbogast Publishing. Round 16 ends on May 31st,
so get busy writing and e-mail us your
entries. Remember that articles that relate practical "how to" skills
for survival will have an advantage in the judging.
