Note from JWR:

The judging was difficult because we had so many great entries. But after much deliberation we decided that the first place winner of Round 16 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest is KLK for her article “How To Prepare for Radiation Emergencies”. She has won two valuable four day “gray” transferable Front Sight course certificates. (Worth up to $4,000!)

Second place goes to B.H. for his article “Safe Food Handling”. He will receive a copy of my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course, generously donated by Jake Stafford of Arbogast Publishing

Three Honorable Mention prizes go to NC Bluedog for “Homestead Fuel Storage and Rotation”, JLG in Texas for “Technology After TEOTWAWKI”., and to Gospel Guy for “Lacto-Fermentation–Enlisting Trillions of Microscopic Allies in Your Fight for Survival.” They each get their choice of autographed copies of either my books “Rawles on Retreats and Relocation” or “SurvivalBlog: The Best of the Blog”

Note to the prize winners: E-mail me and let me know the snail mail address where you’d like you prizes sent. Congratulations to the talented prize-winning writers!

Round 17 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest is now open. Round 17 ends on July 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail us your entries. Remember that articles that relate practical “how to” skills for survival will have an advantage in the judging.
