SurvivaBlog Now Comes Fresh Every Tuesday!
Today we are commencing our weekly posting schedule, with posts on Tuesdays. After more than 20 years of daily posts I was feeling exhausted. But with this new editorial pace, I’m feeling re-energized and confident that I have another 20 years ahead of me.
- To recap the changes: Starting today SurvivalBlog will be posted on Tuesdays, and perhaps the occasional Thursday, if the Tuesday posts get too crowded. So you can expect to see SurvivalBlog “Fresh Every Tuesday.” (An homage the late, great Ol’ Remus.)
- We discontinued the SurvivalBlog Writing Contest. Round 124 was the final round, and the prizes mailed out early this month will be the last ones awarded. (Note: Any folks with unused Elk Creek Company purchase credits may redeem them until December 31, 2026. And, of course, those credits are still transferable.)
- We’ve consolidated our SurvivalBlog columns into one-day-per-week. Much the same mix of content will still be there, but you’ll see it just on Tuesdays. You’ll still see: quotes, historical notes, American Redoubt news, economics and investing items, world news, and our prepping progress. There will normally be just one feature article each Tuseday.)
- Product reviews will be posted just twice per month, instead of four times per month.
- Recipes will be posted just twice per month, instead of four times per month.
- I’ll still be consulting, doing occasional interviews, writing novels, producing the SurvivalBlog Old School (SOS) newsletter, and still operating Elk Creek Company.
- We’ll continue to produce an annual waterproof archive USB stick. To make up for the smaller annual volume of blog content, we will include even more bonus books each year.
- I’ll have more time available to spend with Avalanche Lily and my family to do some things that we’ve been putting off for years.
- Note that I often won’t be able to respond to your e-mails immediately, because there will be some days each week when I’m completely offline. (Hopefully, spending more time hiking and hunting.)
- We’ll still gladly run letters and guest articles written by readers. There will be be no minimum length for articles.
- The full archives of SurvivalBlog will remain available free of charge. The SurvivalBlog Writing Contest page has become a static page.
- In the event of any major crises or catastrophic events I will post on other days of the week, ad hoc.
Rest assured that I’m not retiring! Except for the discontinuation of the writing contest and the consolidation of posts into a weekly format, SurvivalBlog will still provide what you’ve always expected to see.
I trust that you will concur with the wisdom of this new change of pace. – JWR
