Survival Review

This post is a little different from our previous reviews. Mainly because it was written by our first “guest blogger”. It is also on an item many of you will not consider “survival oriented”.

About a week ago I asked my Dad to think about some things to review for my new blog. He checked out the blog and said he would get back to me. There are a few reasons I figured Dad would be a good resource to tap. First of all he lives on a lot of land in the middle of nowhere, and second, he and his wife survived Katrina (they live in southern Mississippi). So I invited him to review something that he thought was a great “survival” item to have around in cases of emergency. The review that they sent back was actually quite surprising. OK, enough back story, here is the review. (One last note: I just received word that my Dad actually pawned this whole project off onto my step-mom, Jakki. She actually told me she did all the work while he played Call of Duty, HA! This would also explain the high quality of the writing, my step mom is an English teacher.)

I’m not (more…)

Welcome to survival review. We hope to become your online destination for unbiased reviews on outdoor and survival gear.

A few years ago, right out of USAF Basic Training, I got hitched. I think it was then that I started to really considered my preparedness, after all, now I had someone counting on ME (thats a frightening thought). It started pretty slowly at first, but after a few late nights on the internet reading I realized the importance of (more…)
