Today’s feature article is a guest piece by fellow blogger Mrs. Alaska. Because it will also be posted to her blog, it will not be part of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [1].
We are now seeking entries for Round 114 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [1].
More than $900,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [2]. Refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic. Round 114 begins tomorrow, August 1st. You can e-mail [3] us your entry. Remember that there is a 1,500-word minimum, and that articles on practical “how-to” skills for survival have an advantage in the judging.
