I was mucking around the Popular Mechanics website and found this review of emergency ration bars. Im in agreement…Ive tried the ones tehre and the Mainstay, while not something youd wanna have to live on, were certainly palatable. The Datrex, in my opinion, has always tasted like chipboard with a similar consistency.
Speaking of PM’s website, theres actually some interesting stuff related to the things Im interested in. A few links:
Alternative energy stuff
Preparedness main page
And lotsa stuff on renewable energy
Sorta thing that makes me think I should keep my subscription up.

Its continuing to be record breaking heat here in the Great Northwest. My motivation to do anything is barely there…thus, Im fairly quiet at the moment. On the other hadn, sitting in front of the air conditioner and surfing the interweb is alwys an educating experience.
Amazon has a deal on magazine subscriptions right now – $5 off if you subscribe for a year – and I remember popular mechanics was one of them – The offer lasted till the 31st. It works out to $7 after all is done. If you end up with dual subscriptions you can always call PM and get it merged.
A heads-up – Cheap Pelican cases – $10 + $10 shipping. Note that they are orange, have holes in them, and might or might not have the seal. Still, for $20 … 😉
