So, before you finish packing your survival pack, you should check out GroomAndStyle.com's list of 30 Things to Include in Your Wilderness Survival Pack. While you're reading, check out item #20 - Potassium Permanganate." You may already know what it is and what it does, but I didn't!

I was just introduced to a well-written article on Ammo.com, entitled Living Off-Grid: A Guide to Self-Sufficiency".

Another good article from the same site is one on Wilderness Survival.
