Preparedness Notes for Thursday — February 26, 2026

On February 26, 1929, US President Calvin Coolidge [1] established Grand Teton National Park.

And on February 26,1935 RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) was first demonstrated by Robert Watson-Watt and Arnold Wilkins in Daventry, England.

Today’s feature article is a guest piece by a SurvivaBlog reader who is also a podcaster.

We need entries for Round 123 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [2]. More than $981,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest.  Round 123 ends on March 31st, so get busy writing and 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. In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [4]. Please refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic.
