I just happen to produce a semi-monthly newsletter for Live Free USA. Live Free has been around for years, and I’ve been doing the newsletter for just over a year now, after taking over the reigns from Chris Nyerges.

Visit the website, and download a pdf version of the last two copies, and let me know what you think.

I’ve done many different kinds of newsletters over the years, from home computers, to postal employees, and more. I’m finishing up the final touches for my very own SurvivalRing Newsletter, which will be a full blown printed and mailed version, for paying subscribers. Yes, there will be digital copies available, including archives, and special deals on what I have to share (including freebies for members only).

Have fun reading and learning…

This one is an oldie (2002) but a goody. Even more interesting with the recent events of Katrina and Rita, and other regional catastrophies since 9/11. Interesting find about my friend Jim Jones as well, mentioned in the article. Small world…

What do you think? Use the comments section to reply.

As a result, survivalism has undergone a revival since Sept. 11.
