Check out the outdoor survival and land navigation resources at Survival Monkey. This is are also a site where you can read the full text of the EMP web novel “Lights Out.” See: http://www.survivalmonkey.com/ (OBTW, Survival Monkey is not to be confused with Trunk Monkey. I love those commercials!)

Mr. Bravo mentioned that prices are falling on lithium batteries for Surefire (and similar) high-performance flashlights and lasers. The batteries do not have to be expensive (up to $10 each at the camera department!) There are many discount online sources that sell them in bulk for not much more than a dollar a piece. Even Surefire sells them for under $2 per battery. See: http://www.surefire.com

I’ve received several positive e-mails from readers who have bought traps, snares, and gill nets from Buckshot’s Camp. Now that Mr and Mrs. Buckshot have completed their move, they have cleared up their backlog of orders.So if you were waiting because of their move, there is no more need to hesitate. Get your orders in. Start studying their instructional DVDs, and try out their gear this Spring. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, I can’t think of any other survival preparation that can do more to ensure that you can feed your family in a long term emergency. Don’t overlook this aspect of your training and preparedness!
