Survival book giveaway - Another Place To Die
 
I recently picked this book up after reading the recommendations in Christy's thread earlier in the month.
http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/sho...d.php?t=386569

I enjoyed the book and would like to pass it on to someone else who might be interested in it. I've received a lot of good information from this forum and appreciate the folks who participate here.

Here is how it works:

If you would like a chance at the book, post in this thread.

I will let the thread run until 4pm pst on Tuesday 3/23, that will give it some exposure to the weekend crew as well as the weekday folks.

Tuesday night I'll draw a name out of the hat to determine the winner.

I'll pm the winner so I can notify them and get the mailing address.

I'll update the thread with the winner.

I'll mail the book to the winner and I'll cover the postage of course.

One word of caution, there are some colorful words used throughout the book so just be aware of that if it might be an issue for you.

Here is the description and you can read the reviews on Amazon.

Quote:

Another Place to Die is a vivid account of individuals caught up in a worldwide flu pandemic. Set in Vancouver, Canada, this is a terrifying and realistic scenario of people facing the horror of a killer virus that will kill millions. Everything your Government said would protect you is a lie. Make a choice. Escape to a safe place or tough it out. As martial law is declared and soldiers have orders to shoot anyone breaking curfew, normal life begins to break down. Mass burial pits are being dug. Everyone is afraid of each other. The Pandemic is coming. Where will you go? Where exactly is safe? Another Place To Die is an essential survival manual everyone should read.
Note: Probably obvious, but this not a 'survival manual' in the strict sense of the word, just an interesting story.

Thank you

Ugh, you are right, I had the wrong date on 'Tuesday' in my OP. I've been operating off Tuesday being the drawing day and didn't notice I had put the wrong date.

I apologize for that, should have had the date correct.

If that's the biggest mistake you make on a given day, your golden!

seedspreader 03/23/11 04:15 PM

Wow, thanks Wayne. (Nice hat set up there).

I'll be pretty quick about reading and place it back up for drawing.
