SurvivalBlog Editorial Staff Contact Information

Jim and The Memsahib prefer contact via e-mail.

Because of the large volume of e-mail that we receive, we cannot respond to every piece of e-mail. Our apologies if you don't get a response or if there is a lengthy delay in our response. We only post selected letters that we think would be of interest to most SurvivalBlog readers.

Note: Because we live way out in the hinterboonies, we have a slow dial-up connection. So please refrain from sending us any large e-mail attachments (Photo attachments are the main culprit.) OBTW tinypic.com is a great way to send links to photos without hosting them on your own server.

I'm under strict orders from the Memsahib keep the location of the Rawles Ranch private. All that I can say is that it is "Somewhere West of the Rockies." Nor can I mention my wife's name or the names of our children. The Vonage phone line that we use has a prefix in another state. I'm sure that you can understand the security concerns that go along with our survival preparations.

Our mail forwarding address (for mailing your contributions, review copies of books, sample products, hard copy letters, et cetera) is:

James Wesley, Rawles
c/o Elk Creek Company
P.O. Box 303
Moyie Springs, Idaho 83845-0303 USA

Consulting Contact Information:

Note: I provide my Vonage phone number only to pre-paid consulting clients. Before hiring me for consulting, please first search the archives and FAQs at this site, and do a Google "Groups" search for my Usenet posts with a time span back to 1992. (I started using the Internet in the late 1980s and began posting to Usenet newsgroups in February of 1992.) If you need my expertise about something that I haven't previously published, my fee is $100 per hour, with a 1/2-hour minimum. You can send pre-payment to my GearPay, AlertPay or PayPal account. (We prefer GearPay or AlertPay because they don't share PayPal's anti-gun political agenda.) Our AlertPay and GearPay address are both: rawles@usa.net

Here is a link to my PayPal account:

Be sure to include your e-mail address, phone number, and and the best time to schedule the call in your PayPal payment instructions.

You can also send pre-payment for up to two hours of consulting (in 30 minute increments) via U.S. Postal service Money Orders or "Forever " (Liberty Bell) postage stampsONLY (NO checks or other forms of payment accepted) to the address noted above.

For the past 10 years, I have consulted on publishing topics and a variety of survival-related topics including relocation, logistics, communications, firearms, privacy, communications security, food storage, caching, vehicles, field gear, signals intelligence, retreat architecture, and retreat security. On the advice of my attorney, I never have and WILL NOT EVER discuss any potentially criminal activities such as bomb making, poaching, poisons/toxins, full automatic firearms conversions, or firearms suppressor "silencer" construction. If you raise any such topics I will immediately terminate the consulting call. No exceptions!
