Welcome aboard! Greetings to the thousands of new SurvivalBlog readers who found the blog after hearing my recent three-hour interview on Coast-to-Coast AM. For those that missed it, you can find an audio link to the interview here. It is also archived for free streaming download–but just for the next week–at KSFO’s web site. (You’ll need to select Thursday 10 to midnight and Friday from midnight to 1 a.m.)
I recommend that folks just getting started begin with my Preparedness Quick Start Guide for Newbies. You’ll also want to read the “About SurvivalBlog” page, and my “Precepts” page. After that, with the Search box near the top of the right-hand bar, you can dig in to the nearly 8,000 archived SurvivalBlog articles, letters, and quotes. The archives are all available free of charge!

Second Prize: A “grab bag” of preparedness gear and books from Jim’s Amazing Secret Bunker of Redundant Redundancy (JASBORR) with a retail value of at least $350.
Third Prize: A copy of my “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course, from Arbogast Publishing.
Round 27 ends on March 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail us your entry. Remember that articles that relate practical “how to” skills for survival have an advantage in the judging.
