August. Lists are short, easy to read, interesting, and I guess that explains their popularity. I hope my next contest is as popular!
This contest is a true competition with prizes for first, second, and third places. Your challenge is simple. Write a list. My only guideline is that the list is somehow connected with survival and preparedness, and you have ten days in which to complete and submit it. The deadline is Monday, February 8, and winners will be announced and the winning lists posted on Friday, February 12.
The first place winner will receive a collection of Pampered Chef products, cookbooks and spices worth nearly $120! Second and third place winners will each receive smaller packages worth $40 and $30. Actually, every qualifying list will be a winner because it will be posted on, “A List of Lists,” along with your name and a link to your blog or website for thousands of readers to enjoy.
Email your finished list to me at lisa@thesurvivalmom.com. Be sure to write, “List Contest”, as the email subject.
To summarize these rules, here’s a list. hehehe
- Submit a list of anything related to survival and/or preparedness. Creativity and humor are fine, as is stark, foreboding pessimism. Whatever. If you’re not sure of what to write, browse through my blog for inspiration.
- You can submit up to two entries.
- EMAIL them to lisa@thesurvivalmom.com. Please do not submit them as comments.
- Submission deadline is midnight (CT) on Monday, February 8.
- Winning lists will be posted on Friday, February 12, and the winners will be notified by email.
- All qualifying lists will be posted on, “A List of Lists”, with the author’s name and a link to their website, if there is one. The author’s name will be the email address used when submitting the list unless you tell me otherwise, and if you have a blog or website, it’s up to you to include that information.
- Prizes will be shipped out the following week.
Good luck, and may the best list-writers win!!

This sounds like fun!!! Preppers usually LOVE lists. I think this is a great idea! I have tons of them. EEK!
Maybe we will brainstorm some great ideas to make our lists better!
I think you should have a contest where people write in what items they use for a purpose other than what it is intended for!!
Lists are handy when prepping because most people just want to know WHAT to do and get it done as quickly as possible. I'm looking forward to your list, and your idea for another different type of contest is a good one! Thanks!
A list of things you need to survive a snowstorm that might keep you home for three days with a family of four (based on yesterday's trip to the grocery store):
1. 5 dozen eggs
2. 7 gallons of milk
3. 9 loaves of bread
4. 3 lbs of decaf coffee, 3 lbs of regular coffee, and 18 boxes of hot chocolate
5. full tanks of gas in every car, even if you normally never drive it
6. a cord of seasoned firewood for the fireplace you normally never use, plus firestarters and matches
7. supplies to make 12 dozen smores, minimum, and the metal stakes that let you roast the marshmallows in the fireplace you just bought wood for
8. activities to keep the kids busy because the toy room full of them isn't enough to last three days, especially with them outside playing a whole lot.
9. Several extra bottles of shower soap, hand sanitizer, etc, just because, apparently.
(And, no, this wasn't intended as an entry – just being a smart aleck.)
5 Ways Non-preppers deal with a disaster.
1. Shout, "What the heck's going on???"
2. Run around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
3. Stick your head in the sand.
4. Wait for Big Brother to NOT bail your sorry butt out!
5. Complain to the media that no one's bringing you food and water!
