Notes from JWR: We’ve finished the judging: The First Place winner for Round 10 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest is “Grandpappy” for his article “How to Harvest, Process, and Store Vegetable Seeds”, which was posted on May 11th. Congratulations! He is being awarded a valuable four day “gray” transferable Front Sight course certificate. (Worth up to $2,000!) The Second Place award goes to Freeholder, for her article “Raising Goats for Self-Sufficiency”, which was posted on May 26th. She will receive a copy of my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course, generously donated by Jake Stafford of Arbogast Publishing. I am also presenting three autographed copies of my novel “Patriots” as “honorable mention” awards. These go to:
Mr. Yankee, for his article “Top Ten Suggestions for Stocking Up” (posted April 2nd.)
RSC, for his article “Prepping for Children and Teaching them Preparedness” (posted April 7th.)
Korey, for his article “Basics of Keeping a Small Flock of Goats for Survival Protein” (posted April 10th.)
Note to the contest winners: Please e-mail me and let me know your snail mail addresses for delivery of your prizes. Thanks!
Round 11 of the writing contest begins today! Get busy writing and us your article. Remember that articles that relate practical “how to” skills for survival will have an advantage in the judging. Since SurvivalBlog is “text only” for the convenience of readers that use mobile devices, please do not include illustrations with your article. (Although articles with URL links to images housed at your own web site for at least three years are acceptable.)
