To all of the new SurvivalBlog readers in Europe, welcome! (I’ve noticed quite a surge in readership throughout Europe, particularly in the Low Countries, in recent months.)

Do you consider SurvivalBlog worth 10 cents a day to you? If so, please consider becoming a 10 Cent Challenge subscriber. Thanks!

I’d appreciate some help from readers to help SurvivalBlog grow in popularity. If there are any other blogs that you read regularly, watch for topics related to survival or preparedness. When they do come up, please mention SurvivalBlog, preferably by including a permalink to a related post. For example, if the subject of food storage comes up, you might mention the recent thread on Fats and Oils, and include this Permalink. Many thanks!

I just noticed that we are about to surpass 1.75 million unique visits to SurvivalBlog. My sincere thanks to everyone for making the blog such a huge success. Please keep spreading the news. Special thanks to our readers down in Oz, where we’ve had huge readership growth in recent months. My only question is: what is that big dot on the map for SurvivalBlog readers out in the middle of the Outback? I can’t imagine that there are that many SurvivalBlog readers in the town Alice Springs, so there must be some very bored “knob turners” at Pine Gap.

Those of you that have been reading SurvivalBlog for a while have probably taken the time to read through the Retreat Owner Profiles page. Today we present a new profile, for a gent that now carries the moniker “Mr. Uniform.” The profiles are not mere brag sessions. They are the opportunity to see preparedness in action, custom tailored or various locales, circumstances, preferences, and budgets. There is a lot to be learned from the Profiles. Read between the lines. OBTW, we still have room for a few more profiles. I’d particularly like to hear from overseas readers, and anyone that …

Whenever you patronize our affiliates using our links when you order, we get a little piece of the action to help support SurvivalBlog. I should also mention: Please patronize our paid advertisers (in the scrolling side bar) first. But if they don’t have what you need, then take a look at our Affiliate advertisers’ web sites.
