Your Survival Guy received an email yesterday from National Grid, my natural gas and electricity provider. The email explained that “you may have heard on local and national news reports, natural gas prices have risen worldwide in recent months due to increased global demand and lagging natural gas production.” Really?

Listen Your Survival Guy is not “Mr. Peanut”
Your Survival Guy loves the holidays. But let’s get something out of the way. Your survival food prep should not be considered “free game” for one and all.

In my conversations with you, you’re telling me about your bow hunting expeditions this season.

Surviving to Climb New Hampshire’s 4,000 Footers and More
In my conversations with you, you’re telling me how life throws you curveballs. Who would have thought you’d be navigating pre-retirement as a cancer survivor with one lung?

Do This If You Have a Satellite Phone
OK, about that satellite phone or even a prepaid one (good to have) you have tucked away. Pop quiz: Tell me the phone numbers of your important contacts. No cheating.

Survival: Lost in the Woods Bending the Map
One of the saddest songs you’ll ever hear is “Jacob’s Dream” by Alison Krauss, a song I was reminded of recently while reading the chapter “Bending the Map” in Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales.
