Overview

Ready your go-packs, survivalists -- the Apocalypse Preparedness Contest is here. For this contest we want to see all the different ways you prepare for the unexpected -- or the undead! The most prepared will win a Lifestraw Family 1.0, AquaPodKit, Nuclear Anti-Radiation tablets, a Flash Personal Cooking System, and much more to keep you safe when disaster strikes.

Helping us judge this contest are the folks at Homestead & Survival. Their site features practical (and often ingenious) homesteading and survival tips and projects to help everyone -- urbanites, suburbanites, and farm families - live simply and to simply live.
