Hello Jim,
I’ve been lurking since last November after I re-read [your novel] “Patriots” [1]. On a whim I tried a web search looking for any newer books you may have published and found your blog. What a tremendous surprise. I had several questions when I first started reading your blog and decided to go back through the archives. Glad I did. Thus far all of my questions have been answered (I just finished [reading the archives of] December 2006). I feel being a recent contributor to the 10 Cent Challenge [2] is dirt cheap for the knowledge I’ve gained, and I’ve been preparedness conscious and actively preparing for most any scenario ever since I was in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the P.R.K [3].. Okay, the “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course [4] has been pretty helpful too and back in December when it was 33% off it was a sweet deal I couldn’t pass up. It really helped me “fill in the blanks”.
I’ve noticed from time to time that readers ask about preparedness groups or how to meet others that are like-minded. I find that wearing my SurvivalBlog [logo] baseball cap [5] to gun shows and similar social and sporting events has prompted some interesting conversations. Well it’s worked for me and others, but YMMV. Did I remember to tell you what a great blog you have? Thanks for all you do and may God bless you and yours. – East of ABQ
