The temporary slow-down of production is due to the fact that we have been in the process of moving to a new, although temporary location, until we choose and settle upon our final destination. So, as a result, we have been dealing with the major issues of moving in general, and re-constructing the office and re-establishing the services necessary to function in today’s modern world. We will soon be up to speed and will be able to continue full speed ahead.

Thanks for your patience. Keep checking back!

Traveling

msb-note

The MSB office will be on-the-road for a bit, so, apologies in advance for slightly slower comment moderation. Fresh daily content will be ongoing, and hopefully most site issues will be minimized or nonexistent thanks to connectivity via T-Mobile G4 (and G3) MiFi.

msb-note

Last Chance to get in on prizes giveaway…

I am certain that all of you have a story or two to tell, or your own opinion or advice to give regarding the wide category of survival preparedness or being prepared (for whatever…), so why not email us a few paragraphs (or more if you would like to) for us to post on Modern Survival Blog.com!

You can remain anonymous if you’d like, or first name only, whatever you wish, while at the same time voicing your knowledge to our reader base of about 5,000 people per day.

While I enjoy writing articles and digging up new information, it would be fun to hear from more of you as you share your opinions, recommendations, experiences, stories, of just about any category having to do with preparedness.

Safecastle, one of our very first site sponsors, is having a contest such that the participating websites (we are one of them) will submit the winning guest post article to then be judged by Safecastle for many available prizes that they are offering. You can’t go wrong!

Give it a try, and submit an article to us at Modern Survival Blog, and do it by the end of December which is the deadline for all entries!

Email your entries to:

Thanks!

Update, Mrs. M.S.B.

msb-note

So, since many of you have been emailing me regarding Mrs. M.S.B. (Lauren), and how she’s doing (and I thank you for your interest, thoughts, prayers, and concern), here is a quick update…

Good news: She’s home! She’s been home for a few weeks now since her 3rd, and hopefully final, surgery. While it all began during the month of May with 2 major surgeries and nearly a month in the hospital, she was able to come home for a few weeks in June. Unfortunately a complication led her back into the hospital for a 3rd major surgery, however after several more weeks she was able to return home. She has a great positive attitude, which will no doubt help her recovery.

Thanks again to those of you that have been asking. In fact, Lauren has started doing ‘Today in the News’ to help out around here

A New Media Survival Contest

msb-note

The Safecastle Freedom Awards contest will giveaway prizes after the end of 2011 worth $12,000!

All you have to do is submit a ‘guest post’ to Modern Survival Blog to be automatically entered to win.

“We are looking for the best original, web-based content of the year that is related to survivalism and preparedness.”

“I’m pleased to announce the 2011 Safecastle Freedom Awards–a program that will provide a handful of talented, deserving winners with some of the greatest preparedness-related prizes in the survival marketplace!” said Vic Rantala, president of Safecastle LLC, the crisis preparedness outfitter. “We aim to find and recognize the best, original, web-based content of the year, related to survivalism and preparedness.”

Specifically, Safecastle’s Freedom Awards program aims to reward logic, ethics, and knowledgeable insight demonstrated in a compelling way, in both non-fiction articles and in short online videos.

Said Rantala, “More and more people are being drawn to the common sense appeal of reasonable, ‘just in case’ preparedness planning and activities. What we’ve found is that folks are essentially looking for some measure of peace of mind in a world increasingly at risk. They are turning to the web for information on how to be better prepared for disaster and danger. There are some excellent resources and websites out there, and we want to encourage the continuation of the high-quality work that is appearing out there with regard to readiness planning.”

Eligible entries will include new non-fiction articles written and originally posted online during 2011 at a recognized, participating blog or forum. New short videos posted at the participating websites will also be eligible for Safecastle Freedom Award recognition. All finalists will be awarded an engraved, bronze-plated Safecastle Freedom Award. Top prizes will include such treasures as a decked-out teardrop trailer and will be worth in total over $12,000.

OK all you Modern Survival Blog Readers, Enter here for a very realistic chance of winning!
