SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods. This column is a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from JWR. Our goal is to educate our readers, to help them to recognize emerging threats, and to be better prepared for both disasters and negative societal trends. You can’t mitigate a risk if you haven’t first identified a risk. In today’s column, some reporting on a large solar flare.

Sydney castaway Tim Shaddock’s health ‘completely normal’ after three months lost at sea. Here is a pericope from a News.com.au article sent to us by Chris C.:
“Sydney Sailor Tim Shaddock is in good health after spending three months lost at sea with no access to food or clean water.
Shaddock lived off raw fish and rain water to sustain himself while being lost at sea with his loyal hound Bella.
The Sydney local ended up stranded in the Pacific Ocean due to a brutal storm damaging his catamaran and wiping out the electronics.
The pair set sail from La Paz in Mexico to French Polynesia in April, but disaster struck a few weeks into the journey.
He was eventually rescued by a tuna trawler after being spotted by a helicopter.”
