Note From JWR:

The high bidder in the latest SurvivalBlog benefit auction was David T. in Texas. He has won a RWVA Super Shooter’s package, including range time, shooting classes, and two shooting jackets. Our special thanks to the RWVA and Fred’s M14 Stocks for sponsoring this fund raiser! OBTW, speaking of the RWVA, they have a Rifle Instructor’s Camp coming up at the end of August in Ramseur, North Carolina–a great opportunity for you to learn how to teach others how to shoot like a pro, including your own family members.

A new benefit auction begins today. This one is for a copy of “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course, kindly donated by Arbogast Publishing. The course has a retail price of $149. Please submit your bids via e-mail. This auction ends on September 15th

 

And the winner is…

The first place winner for Round 5 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest is Peter Hardt, for his article “How to Build an Inertial Well Slow Pump for Grid Down Emergencies”, which was posted yesterday. (Yes, I was saving the best for last!) P.H. will receive a transferable “gray” (first timer’s) Four Day Course Certificate. (Worth up to $1,600.)

The second place winner is Norman Church, for his Peak Oil article titled “Thinking The Unthinkable.” This article was posted on Friday, July 21st. Mr. Church wins a free copy of the “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course.
