I got the following note from a reporter named Alison, at one of the big “Three Letter Acronym” television networks: “I”m a reporter a looking to do a story about how some people are becoming “survivalists” as our energy prices skyrocket. I am looking to profile someone, or a family, in the New York region, preferably in the New York Metro area, including the tri-state region. If they wish to remain anonymous, we can also call them different names and not give away where they live.” If any SurvivalBlog readers are interested, send me an e-mail, and I will forward your e-mail to her.
The following is the first article sent to us for Round 17 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest. [1] The writer of the best non-fiction article will win two valuable four day “gray” transferable Front Sight course certificates. (Worth up to $4,000!) Second prize is a copy of my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course, generously donated by Jake Stafford of Arbogast Publishing. 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.
