Odds ‘n Sods:

After a near-death experience, the post-nuke television drama series “Jericho” returns to CBS on Tuesday (February 12, 2008). It is noteworthy that “Jericho” was resurrected from cancellation by popular demand from loyal fans, who inundated CBS officials with shipments of 40,000 pounds of peanuts. As previously mentioned in SurvivalBlog, I have hopes that both “Jericho”, and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (on the Fox network) will in some small way help get people to “think outside the box” about the fragility of our modern society and motivate them to prepare for more inimical times. OBTW, for anyone that wants to chat about either series, there is both a The Sarah Connor Chronicles Yahoo Discussion Group and a Jericho (TV Series) Yahoo Discussion Group.Both of these are moderated by a SurvivalBlog reader.

John R. sent us: Couple survives 12 days in snow. John’s comments: “This is why everyone should have carry a kit in their vehicles. The couple made it out alive, thankfully, though one rescue worker died as a result of over-exertion. But it doesn’t sound like it was easy.” Meanwhile , Craig sent this: Hundreds Of Motorists Still Stranded On I-90. Craig asks: “I wonder how many of them had winter survival kits in their cars?”
