We have finished the judging for Round 9 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [1]. The first prize winner is: E.C.W., MD, for her article: “Wound Care: An Emergency Room Doctor’s Perspective” [2] (posted on February 24th.) She will receive a four day “gray” transferable Front Sight course certificate that is worth up to $1,600. Congratulations!
Second prize goes to J.D., for his article “Fish Farming for Survival Protein [3]“. J.D. will receive an autographed copy of my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course.
Honorable Mention prizes go to Mike McD for “Selecting a Retreat Location in Australia [4]“, and to CMC for “Blue Water Sailing as a Retreat Option?” [5] They will both receive autographed copies of the latest expanded edition of my novel “Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse”
Note to the prize winners: Please let me know your snail mail addresses, via e-mail.
Round 10 of the writing contest begins today. If you want a chance to win the contest, start writing and e-mail us your non-fiction article. Round 10 ends on May 30th. Remember that articles that relate practical “how to” skills for survival will have an advantage in the judging.
The recent letter from a SurviuvalBlog reader seeking advice on magazine duplexing systems [6] inspired a torrent of e-mails, both pro and con. (Mostly con, see below.) I’m always willing to present differing opinions, so that readers can make informed decisions on gear for their retreats.
