Survivalpunk turns One Year Old And You Get The Gifts!

Last year on March 16th I published the first article on Survivalpunk. It all began with me showing you how to make Sauerkraut cheap and easy and I’ve been going strong since then. This marks the 238th post in the year which is just shy of a post every weekday of the year. The site has grown more than I would have believed in this year. I’ve made tons of new friends from the site and got to test some great gear. It’s been a great year and I plan on making the next year and the following ones even bigger. Enough babbling time to get down to the read reason for today’s post. Free stuff! I admit that this contest was not super organized. I had the idea to do a big giveaway kinda last minute and started asking for donations at the end of last month. So far I don’t have everything in and that is one of the reasons I’m going to run this contest longer than usual. I’m going to run it for one month. So lets get down to how to win and what you will be winning.

I thought about and researched it pretty long. I’ll share with you the reasons I chose this one and why you need a case.

Trying New Things

Sometimes we can get stuck in a rut. Doing the same things over and over, turning to the comfortable old stand byes. It’s good to break the cycle and try new things you’ve not done before. It was food that made me think about this but trying new things extends to all facets of life. Breaking the comfortable mold of life and having new experiences is great.

Paleo Banana Nut Crunch

Paleo Banana Nut Crunch

My favorite cereal is by far Banana Nut Crunch. I love the stuff. Back when I ate cereal, which was about ten years ago, I ate the stuff often. Since then I usually eat a box a year. I was reading about a paleo cereal one day, which is an oxymoron in itself, and thought it would be great to remake my favorite. I kicked the idea around my head for a while and looked over the official box and copied the allowable ingredients. I changed things a big and added one of my own. This article will be short but sweet, literally.
