For those living in or near Denver, there is a Self Reliance Expo [2] scheduled for September 16th and 17th. They will have a lot of great exhibitors [3]. SurvivalBlog will have a staffer there walking the show floor, to do a write-up. One of the exhibitors at the expo will be a new company called Pantry Paratus [4]. Their web store will soon be launched. They have a great line of preparedness products, with an emphasis on do-it-yourself food processing and storage. Their broad line of products includes a great selection of self-sufficiency books, Berkey water filters, Wondermills (both hand and electric), Excalibur Dehydrators, All-American Pressure Canners, and Tattler re-useable canning lids. Be sure to drop by their booth. Oh, and speaking of Tattler [5], they will also be an exhibitor there. Another SurvivalBlog advertiser there will be: Shelf Reliance [6].

A friend in Japan wrote to give the gist of the narration in a March 11, 2011: Japanese tsunami video [9] that I linked to last week. He explained: “In this video, the driver was very lucky. His car was knocked into a kind of storage facility, and he got out and managed to get to the top of the building along with the other workers there. The car was obviously abandoned, but the camera was retrieved after the water had retreated. So he was in the car while this was filming.”
