A NEW magazine, written for Preppers and Survivalists
It seems odd that my first post would be to promote someone else. However, my goal is to bring you the relevant information that will help you Prepare for the Hard Times Ahead.
That on my Twitter Blog I mentioned that I would be reviewing a new publication entitled the "Complete Survivalist". After reading the first issue cover to cover I have to say that this is a must have publication for both the beginning Prepper and the veteran Survival Expert.
This first issue was free, all I had to pay was a small shipping and handling charge and within a few days, it arrived in the mail. I have to say that I'm not used a service like this. Usually when I order something, I'm left waiting for several weeks, but the real surprise is what I found within the magazine itself.
Some of the topics covered were Homeschooling, Nuclear threat, and the storage of antibiotics. Personally, I enjoyed the article entitled, "Down to Nothing: Finding Food When You're Desperate", by John Milandred. This brought back memories from my survival training as a United States Army Ranger. And yes... Grasshoppers do contain protein, but they don't taste anything like chicken. Snakes and turtles and lizards make for fine dining, but a bug tastes... like a bug, even when you're hungry! This article was very well done and is packed with sound information on sourcing out food in a survival situation. Let's face it, those MRE's won't last forever!
I think the book review by Jerry Erwin, was a bit harsh. Next time, read more than 70 pages before writing a review. I think we all understand that books like "American Apocalypse" are merely fiction and as such contain lots of mistakes made by the characters. Let's face it, experts write "how-to books", fiction authors write.... fiction. As a fiction writer myself, I have to honestly say, "research? what's that?"
I did get a kick out of his comments on the cover of "American Apocalypse", which has a picture of a .44
Ruger Magnum. While reading this I couldn't help but smile, because the old phrase kept running through my head.... "you can't judge a book by it's cover"... or by 70 pages.
But setting the book review aside, I highly recommend the "Complete Survivalist" magazine for Preppers and Survivalists. I'm sure that in the months ahead, we'll see many more useful articles and who knows, maybe I'll write a book review... hahaha! With a subscription fee of less than 20 bucks, I a player. So, I'll be signing up and looking forward to this monthly periodical called, "Complete Survivalist". I hope you will as well.
You can find the "Complete Survivalist" at; http://completesurvivalist.com/

Hopefully, my next blog article will be one that promotes my own Blog, but I felt this was important and you needed to know. God bless, be safe, and stay vigilant at "Preparing for the Hard Times Ahead". BG
