birthday present

Hello dear students,

Old School is turning 3! As part of the Old School birthday celebration, the Damsel has a great giveaway to offer. Birthday for the Old School, presents for you.

The kind folks at Emergency and Disaster Prep have donated your choice of two items: an Extreme Cold US Military Sleeping Bag rated at -40 degrees or a Rucksack Pack. Woohoo!

Preparedness has always been a key part of the Old School’s curriculum, so the Damsel thinks this is perfect. Entering is simple.

1. Be a follower, either by email or through a blog reader, of the Old School. Subscription information can be found under the “subscribe” tab in the menu bar.

2. Click this link: Preparedness and follow the link to the page about their military surplus open house going on this weekend. Choose your favorite item from those listed, and post that in a comment. (This giveaway is limited to US residents.) Entries must be received by Sunday at the stroke of midnight.

That’s it!  May the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck!

    How can you choose just one favorite? I want a sleeping bag and that great big water tank! And I also want an awesome first aid kit. Could I also add that the cooking stuff looks great. 
    Um, yeah, pick just one….

    Hmm, your link to “Preparedness” didn’t work for me, but I’d love an extreme cold sleeping bag.

    The Ecotricity solar panels look interesting…

    The water tanks and filtration systems looks like a must have! The first aid kit here is also one to buy as it seems to have everything. Thanks for the reminder that we must be prepared. Got to start doing this. As always, good resources!

    How to choose…..I think I would have to go for the solar panels or the solar generator.  But for a smaller item, maybe the rucksack.  We always need more room to carry things.

    Happy birthday Damsel!

    I like the Extreme Cold Weather Mutant Mittens. It’s the name… it makes me smile. But it all looks good to me. :)

    Since we have been looking for water storage tanks, I am particularly interested in the 250 gal and 500 gal ones listed.  Also very interested in the extreme cold weather mutant mittens for the guys on our construction crew-

     Happy Birthday! I follow through a blog reader and we drink an insane amount of water here so that’s my biggest concern in an emergency. So I’d like the

  • Jennifer J Kaiser

    I like the water tanks, they are especially helpful since I live in the desert!

  • Erica Michaelis
