One of the added benefits of joining the Preparedness Club is that each month, every member is automatically entered into a contest for a giveaway. To keep things fair, members will only be eligible for one prize per year. I will send the winner an email each month to get their mailing address.
Some of the prizes have been donated by some generous companies. I will be buying other prizes myself. Here are some of the prizes that have already been donated:
- Midland Weather Alert Radio
- Multiple copies of Total Home Prep Now DVD
- Multiple books from Paladin Press
- Multiple 100ft hanks of paracord from Paracord City
- A copy of Making the Best of Basics
- An exclusive (banned) pressure canner (haha) and a canning kit
- A Bucket of Wise Food from Best Price Storable Food
- And more
This Month, Midland Radio has been kind enough to donate a WR120

Here is a video that walks you through programming the radio.
My Take:
I like the features on this weather radio. It’s easy to distinguish between watches and warnings, simply by the tones and colors of the alert indicators. I also like that you can program different alert types. The combination of the monthly siren tests and our weather radio monthly test gets the dogs howling. While funny, it isn’t always welcomed.
The Preparedness Club costs $40 a year and this radio from Midway is a $50 value!
