Notes from JWR:
We had an amazing 17,945 unique visits yesterday, gobbling up almost
17 gigabytes of traffic. Those are both new records for SurvivalBlog. Thanks
for continuing to
spread
the word about SurvivalBlog and making it such a success. It is not too
late for your "head in the sand" relatives, friends, and co-workers
to get themselves prepared. Spread the word! Even just a one line mention in
your-e-mail footer
would be a huge help. Here is what reader Paul G. uses in his footer: www.SurvivalBlog.com
-- Bookmark it. It may save your life!
We've completed the judging for Round 18 of the SurvivalBlog
non-fiction writing contest.
First prize goes to Terry B., for his article "How
To Make Den-Type Game Traps"
that was posted on August 27th. 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 Woodsman, for his article "What
Will You Do When Your Stored Food Runs Out?" He will receive a course
certificate from OnPoint
Tactical. This certificate will be for the prize winner's choice of three-day
civilian courses. (Excluding those restricted for military or government
teams)
Third prize goes to E.I.D. for "On
Rural Retreat Safety and Secrecy". He will receive a copy
of my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course, generously donated by Jake
Stafford of Arbogast Publishing.
Honorable mention prize goes to Josh in Montana for "Survival
Medicine and Ditch Medicine". He will receive autographed copy 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 the prizes.
Round 19 of the writing contest begins today, and will
run for two months. It feature the same great 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.
