Welcome - Survival Betty

October Giveaway: The 5 Basics of Survival - FOOD

10/13/2014

Our giveaway for October is item number three from the "5 Basics of Survival" categories- FOOD. I have paired up with the manufacturer (which I NEVER do, but I love this product THAT much!) The prize is a Farson Tool from Fremont Knives!

The actual item will only be shipped to those winners in the USA, outside of the USA winners will be given an Amazon.com or affiliate gift code via email that is a $25 USD value...

The Farson Blade Survival Tool is a lightweight and compact multipurpose survival tool that works for skinning, chopping, hunting, and a variety of tasks.

Why a knife for the FOOD category? Well, because I can give you MRE's or a stove but why not give you something you can use for building and maintaining a fire, crafting a shelter, making food and keeping yourself safe.

August: FIRE - Sponsored by Good To Go Survival & Prep. Winner is Ruby H.!

September: WATER - Winner is Jody K.!

October: FOOD - Farson Survival Tool Sponsored by Freemont Knives

NOVEMBER: SHELTER

DECEMBER: FIRST AID

The item will be approximately $25 in value.

If you would like to co-sponsor a month, please contact me.

Enter below via the Rafflecopter widget, and don't forget to leave me a blog comment below my signature telling me what you would do with a new Farson Tool? Use it daily, tuck it away in your Bug Out Bag, or....?

Id give a test run ,hopefully on a deer hide from this seasons hunt.Once i know it works as advertised it would probably go into the BOB.I may also purchase a 2nd one if it works that well at skinning.It looks like it would be very useful removing fat etc from a skinned hide

Jennifer

10/16/2014 09:11:46 am

John Marraffino link

10/16/2014 09:14:18 am

Nancy Swartzbaugh

That's some cool tool. If I won it I'd share it with my daughter and together we'd go into the woods and learn how to use it. Nothing like practice to get you thinking in the right direction in an emergency. It looks like a really good addition to our homestead tool kit, too.

J.S.

Definitely bob or edc ;)

Pam

10/23/2014 09:12:56 pm

I would love to have a Fremont knife. One of the things I would do with it is try it out on different things first. The most important thing would be is to keep it into car. If ever stranded it would be very useful. I also would use it for protection.

Debbie Epps Kennedy

10/24/2014 04:58:56 am

Diana
