«-- Overseas Retreat Owner Profile: Mr. and Mrs. Zephyr in Trinidad and Tobago | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Notes from JWR:
We've completed the judging for the latest
round of our
nonfiction writing contest. The judging was difficult, because
we had so many great entries. The first place winner is Carolyn W., for
her lengthy article Gardening
and
Seed Saving. She wins first prize: two transferable Front
Sight "Gray" Four Day Training Course Certificates. This
is an up to $4,000 value.
Second prize goes to "Hermeneutics" for her article Intellectually
Self-Reliant Children: From Homeschooling to College. She will receive a three
day course
certificate from OnPoint
Tactical. This certificate will be for the prize winner's choice of three-day
civilian courses.
Third prize goes to Ryan S., for his article Criminal
Gangs in TEOTWAWKI -- Understanding a Potential Threat. He will receive a copy of my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course, from Arbogast Publishing
Honorable mention prizes go to Donna
G. for her article Mini
Dairy Goats for a Sustainable Future., and to O.F. for his article Preparing
for Survival Retreat Perimeter Defense. Both will
receive an autographed copy of my novel "Patriots:
Surviving the Coming Collapse".
Note to the prize winners: Please e-mail me your snail mail addresses!
Today we begin Round 20 of the writing contest, with the
same great prizes. Round 20 ends on January 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail us
your entry. Remember that articles that relate practical "how to" skills
for survival will have an advantage in the judging.
The first article today is a new retreat
owner profile. I find that these profiles
of real-life preppers are incredibly instructive. If nothing else, they inspire
some great "what have I overlooked" analysis of our preparations. OBTW, we
still have room for a lot more overseas profiles. They would be greatly
appreciated!
