«-- The Savvy Barterer--References, Skills, and Tools for TEOTWAWKI Barter | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Note from JWR:
Welcome to the thousands of new SurvivalBlog readers who've
arrived after yesterday's prominent mention of SurvivalBLog.com on MSNBC.The
same mention also pushed up the Amazon sales rank of my novel "Patriots:
Surviving the Coming Collapse" to around
#800. (Out of more than two million books listed. Not bad for a novel
that has been in print for 11 years!)
OBTW, I've been getting dozens of e-mails from
SurvivalBlog
newbies, asking very familiar
questions,
such
as: "What's
the safest area to relocate to?", "How do I store rice to protect
it from vermin?", "What
are the best things to keep on hand for barter?", and "How can insulin
be stored without grid power?" I recommend that new readers take full
advantage of the SurvivalBlog Search box
(at the
top
of the
right-hand bar) as well
as the numerous static topic pages that are easily accessed using the buttons
at the top of our main page. Read the "About"
and "Precepts"
pages first. After that you might n reading through some of the "Retreat
Owner Profiles" and
my "Recommended
Retreat Areas" pages.
