The Logo Contest Is Officially Over
The new logo/banner has been up for a couple of weeks now and I’ve received some favorable emails and comments about it. There were quite a few good entries and it was a tough decision, but eventually I narrowed it down to three and then finally the winner, which you see along the top of the site. Above is the banner and here’s what I’ll use as the logo: The winner’s name is Kyle and prefers to remain anonymous, but my man, thank you for a great logo and banner! I’ll be sending the GPS unit out shortly and I hope you like it as much as I like the new look. In case you…

Hiking, snow shoeing, winter camping, ice climbing, skating, sledding with the kids, it’s all part of the winter experience for me.

Why You Shouldn’t Count on Hunting After SHTF
From Survival and BeyondBy PJ – Prepper-Resources.com I know many hunters who think they will be able to rely on their skills when the SHTF, that they will be able to take game in order to sustain their family over a sustained period of time. In the short run this might be true, in the long run nothing could be further from the truth. If you sit down and take a look at the basic math of the position I’m about to take on this subject, the conclusion is irrefutable. Using the Whitetail Deer for my case study, let’s walk the dog on this one. – In the late 1800?s the population of the US was …
