Here are JWR’s Recommendations of the Week for various media and tools of interest to SurvivalBlog readers. The focus is usually on emergency communications gear, bug out bag gear, books and movies–often with a tie-in to disaster preparedness, and links to “how to” self-sufficiency videos. There are also links to sources for both storage food and storage containers. You will also note an emphasis on history books and historical movies. This week the focus is on winter backpacking and other aspects of winter travel. (See the Gear & Grub section.)

re: Northern Exposure,
That was one of my favorite shows when it was on. I bought the dvds a couple of months ago and I am enjoying them. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten most of the episodes.
A note about the Amazon link, those are region 2 dvds:
“Playback Region 2 :This will not play on most DVD players sold in the U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda.”

Thanks for catching that glitch. I’ve just corrected the link.
