Thanks to everyone who posted comments to enter the latest book giveaway. A couple of lucky Gun Digest blog readers will soon be building their own perfect survival kit: Congratulations to “tammyohagan” and “navy1996.”

Some of the comments highlight a good point − one that author John McCann emphasizes: With one or two not-so-unlikely turns of events (bad weather, engine trouble), even something as simple as our ride to work can turn into a situation where a few, simple emergency supplies make a big difference. Starting with the survival kit-building book and continuing with Stay Alive: Survival Skills You Need, John helps us anticipate and prepare for those situations.

If you didn't win the giveaway but would like a copy of Build the Perfect Survival Kit, click here to order one from the Gun Digest book store. Then, be sure to watch for the September release of Stay Alive, and check this blog often to get in on more Gun Digest book giveaways.
