Welcome to my new Blog. A special thanks is owed to John Savage, an ETS Survival Forum participant, without whose help this would never have seen the light of day. I was ready to give up, quite frankly. Please give John a big virtual hand for his able and much appreciated assistance.

The concept of having this blog is to provide me a means to quickly and easily post brief gear reviews, news about new product introductions, press releases from manufacturers and associations relevant to survival, events, news, comments and thoughts on recent survival related news stories, etc. All to help keep content on ETS fresher. Full reviews are so time consuming that I don’t get nearly enough new stuff up on ETS as I would like, but this should allow me to spend an hour or two a couple or three times a week and get fresh content online, Plus, ETS will now be able to enter the “blogshere” and that will also hopefully reach a larger audience that might benefit from the information we provide on ETS.

For the time being, we have turned off comments, due to the very serious spam issues they generate, or high workload to avoid those issues. Discussion of blog items can be conducted on the ETS Survival Forum for the time being.
