Reviews of Interesting Preparedness Stuff!
By Richard A. Fleetwood - May 2001
The "World of Survival, Preparedness, and Self Reliance PRODUCTS" is bigger than anyone
can imagine. Thousands upon thousands of products, old and new, are bring
presented before our eyes everyday in all kinds of new ways, in an effort
to get you and I, the consumers, to part with our income to be able to live
a safer, easier, longer, and more fulfilling life. Y2k went mainstream,
giving us Y2k sales pitches for everything from RAID insecticides, to Polaroid Instant Desposible cameras, to who knows
what else.
The few REAL magazines (which I classify as those that have been
around for years), such as American Survival Guide, Mother Earth News,
CountrySide, Backwoods Home, and even Back Home, ALL offer hundreds of
advertisements on everything possible, including the kitchen sink, waterless
toilets, and hog pen plans.
Several of these have in every issue "reviews"
of products for use in situations YOU might be in someday. ASG likes guns
and knives, MEN likes farm tools, and Backwoods Home likes informational
things like books.
While I read ALL these magazines when I can, and favor a few more than others,
there is nothing like actual hands on experience of something new to see
if a product, book, video, meal, software, tool, clothing or training course
is REALLY what it claims to be...and if it REALLY is worth the amount of
Federal Reserve Notes required to obtain them.
I have a handful of products that have been in my possesion for a while,
or that I have used myself, that are the same things you will see mentioned
in the magazines described above. I will be placing reviews of these, and
any future items sent my way, in this part of SurvivalRing, and also will
post OTHER writings by those of you who want to do the same. If anything
we offer here helps you learn more about a product BEFORE buying or using
it, than we have accomplished what we wanted.
Here are the AREAS we will cover. Individual articles will appear under the
headings as they come online, along with author and date of posting. Please
send any articles, comments, or replies to
REVIEW-COMMENTS@survivalring.org, or use the online submission form at ARTICLE SUBMIT page to send your article to Richard, and you will be notified as soon as possible of its acceptance.
