Congrats to all of you that won. I read every one of them and I would not have wanted to judge this contest. It would have been close to impossible to choose a winner. Great job everyone and I hope you put those cool prizes to good use.

Great job with the contest! I have enjoyed reading the submissions. No wonder with all those great prizes! Are you planning on another round?

Rourke,

First of all, let me just say thanks! With all of the great postings I saw on a near daily basis, no way did I imagine my post would even get so much as a mention, much less the 1st prize! Wow! I am so completely blown away and honored by this. Keep up the good work getting the word out on prepping and good bush-crafting skills. Your site and daily postings are an inspiration to me, and others like me, to continue, even when I sometimes feel like I might be wasting my time.

Thanks again so very much.
