Today, Friday Aug 1, the "Escapes" section
of the New York Times had a feature article about
a survival training school titled "They Will
Survive".

Among the topics discussed were the packing of an "Altoids" kit which is a beloved topic of us all. Saving the best for last, at the end of the article there is a reference to this website
as a source for locating other survival training
opportunities.

Between Yesterday's article and Today's, I'm beginning to think that the notion of "Personal Preparedness" is indeed gaining traction in the mainstream media.

Kudos to you Doug!
