Note from JWR:
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.
