We've completed the judging for Round 17 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. First prize goes to Thomas G., for his article "The Tomato Rebuild--Machining Technology is Crucial to Modern Society". He'll receive two valuable four day "gray" transferable Front Sight course certificates. (Together, they are worth up to $4,000!) Special thanks to Naish Piazza--Front Sight's founder and director--for his generosity. Be sure to check out their web site and class calendar. The Memsahib and I can both vouch for the quality of their training, from personal experience. It is amazing!
Second prize goes to Ryan S., for "Packing The Vehicle G.O.O.D. Bag". He will receive a copy of my "Rawles Gets You Ready" preparedness course, generously donated by Jake Stafford of Arbogast Publishing.
Honorable mention prizes go to three writers: "Wolverine", for "Checking Your Preparedness with the PACE System", to the Y2K-Era Prepper for "After 10 Years--Some Observations and Lessons Learned", and to C.G., for "A Citizen's Band (CB) Radio Installation Primer". They will all receive autographed copies of my novel "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse".
Note to the prize winners: Please e-mail us to let us know your snail mail addresses, so we can mail you your prizes.
Round 18 begins today, and will feature the same prizes. So get busy writing and e-mail us your entries, folks! Remember that articles that relate practical "how to" skills for survival will have an advantage in the judging.
