Rourke [1] suggested that I volunteer to go on the Oprah Winfrey TV talk show, shortly after the new TV series Jericho [2] airs (September 20th), and discuss the show and the preparedness of American families. (I intend to point our relative lack of preparedness, and recommend that folks get squared away.) I’d greatly appreciate it if SurvivalBlog readers would take a couple of minutes to visit the Oprah show producers’ topic suggestion web page [3], and recommend this topic. Thanks!

Jeremy mentioned this recent anti-survivalist post [4] from one voice in the Peak Oil [5] camp. I think that this gent is unrealistically optimistic. In my opinion it is downright naive to assume that if and when there is a long term grid-down TEOTWAWKI [6] that entire nations will just quietly starve. I expect trouble. Lots of trouble. Be prepared.

Michael Z. Williamson [7] pointed us to this site that conducted unbiased testing of various pistols and 7.62 Russian and 5.56mm versus kevlar body armor and helmets [8]. Mike says: “They will punch through kevlar and do spectacular damage. I was also very surprised to see the penetration of 7.62×25 pistol ammo.”
