Note from JWR:

James Wesley Rawles April 1, 2006 April 1, 2006

I’m not much of a trickster, so I won’t subject you to any April Fool’s Day prank posts.

And the winner is… The winner of Round 3 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest is K.A.D., for his article titled: “Defending Your Home: An Outline of Security for Troubled Times” The author will be mailed a four day &qout;gray” transferable Front Sight course certificate. Thanks to the contest sponsor, we will be repeating the contest, with the same valuable prize. The deadline for entries for Round 4 is May 31, 2006.

For this latest round of the contest, special judging consideration will be given to the article with the most useful and detailed information on a practical skill that is applicable to a TEOTWAWKI situation. Get to writing, folks!

OBTW, for convenient reference, we have created a new permanent archive of the contest winning articles

Note to K.A.D.: Let me know your snail mail address and I’ll mail you your four day course certificate. Congratulations!
