The calendar says that it is Tuesday so that must mean there is another great Jars Prep net coming up at 2100 EDT tonight.  Lately we have covered some interesting topics and I was reading around lately the following two articles stuck out to me and should be talked about a little more in depth.

Perhaps if there is enough interest we can set up a class or contest utilizing the skills.

This is a great article about how the power that we have all come to depend on may disappear or how fragile it really is. If you are not prepping for alternative power you should listen to some of the valued resources that are already doing it and share with the Jars Prep Net.
