Christmas or 4500 likes, whichever comes first.   Either December 13th or 4500 likes.  Whichever comes first we will start the giveaways!   
 

When the Facebook Page hits 4500 Likes, Doc will give away $50 in gear to several radomly drawn members.   No need to do anything on your end, just be a member of the facebook page.   
 

At the 5000 Mark, Doc will do it again, but with $100 in gear!!  See below for details.

 

Just because I really enjoy this experience and being part of one of the greatest groups of awesome people that make up this community. I am going to donate and do two drawings for ZASC.

 

One when we reach 4500 members, and another when we reach 5000 members. At the 4500 mark, I will donate $50 worth of gear (I will pick the gear and randomly send it to several members).

 

Gear has been chosen!!   

1 Lifestraw Filter $19.99

1 Exotac Polystriker $11.99

3 Lixada Ultralight Portable Stoves $9 each

 

There are also 3 small bonus items that will be shipped out to 3 additional winners.  But those won't be announced until they are shipped!

That means there will be a total of 8 winners!!

 

The best part! "YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING" for this but be a member! I will draw numbers at random and count down the member list to those numbers. You won't even know who wins until I contact you asking for an address and get a response. (If I don't get a response within 24 hours, I'll do another drawing for that piece of gear so WATCH YOUR INBOX and stay tuned!!)

 

I will repeat this drawing when we reach 5000 members with DOUBLE the gear. $100 in gear.

Stay tuned and pass the word around. The sooner we hit 4500 and 5000, the sooner you have a chance to win some free gear! ~Doc

2014 Year End Contest!

As much as we tend to romanticize the coming apocalypse, the truth is, we still live in the real world day to day, and are far, far more likely to experience a smaller scale disaster, a natural disaster or perhaps a house fire or family emergency while traveling, etc, etc.

 

Where do you store your medical information, insurance information, property information, and pretty much all the documentation you need to interact with the real world on a day to day basis?  It’s not feasible to carry it all around with you, and if you store it at home, a disaster at home could wipe it all out.  Also, the vast majority of us have that information in a digital format already, and for those who don’t, it can be digitized rather quickly and easily.  Everyone on this site is using a computer right now to read this, a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.

 

As part of any good prepper’s disaster plan, maintaining necessary documentation, securely in a format that can be readily accessed is paramount.  No, you won’t need this info when the zombies are banging on the door to your Bug Out location, but you will need it after your house catches fire, or you’re stranded away from home due to a large fire, chemical spill, or flooding or any other much more likely scenarios we run into on a daily basis. 

 

We as ZASC understand this need and for Decembers contest, we are offering a 2 part prize for the winner.  A 32Gig Corsair Survivor USB data stick (See Link for details:

 

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3886487&CatId=3786

 

Unlike most USB sticks, this one is TOUGH, (I’ve actually put one through the washer AND dryer twice and it’s still working).    Due to the solid aluminum casing fully surrounding the stick, it may also be EMP proof. (The manufacture has not tested for this and makes no guarantees).  32 Gigs is a tremendous amount of storage.  Heck you can throw a huge amount of priceless family pictures on this thing as well, or entire libraries of how to manuals, the repair manuals for every piece of equipment you own and pretty much anything you can’t possibly memorize in a lifetime. 

 

That is part 1 of the contest.  Part 2 is, if the winner so chooses, (This is optional).   I will personally convert the stick into a stand-alone Linux Operating System. (I have 20 to choose from).  What this will do is allow you to plug the stick into almost any computer you find, boot off the stick and access your documents, pictures, data etc.  Even a computer that won’t work with window (Crashed not due to hardware) or a computer with no hard drive can be booted off this stick.  Basically, this turns most every USB bootable computer in the world into a usable machine running directly off the stick.  So after you access your documents and data and walk away, you leave ZERO trace behind.  Security, OpSec you name it, this stick handles it.   The data on the stick can also be encrypted.  That will be on the owner to decide after choosing an operating system.  If you have any questions, please post them on this thread as well as your entries.  If you wish to keep your entry anonymous until the contest ends, you may send it via a PM to the page.    We will keep this thread pinned for the duration of the contest. 

Good Luck Everyone! ~Doc

 

December 2014 Shipping Container Bug Out Location Design Contest

 

Rules

• Contest opens Tuesday, November 25th and the deadline for entries is midnight Central Time on December 23th.   Winners will be announced after Jan 1stst. (It’s the holidays, we’ll need time to review them).

• Submit any kind of drawing, sketch, digital file etc.  No limits as long as we can open it.  (If we can’t open it, you may resubmit it in another format).  PDF or JPG image formats would be best.

• You WILL NOT be judged on quality of medium, so if you draw something awesome on a napkin and get us a clear image of it will still be just as eligible as a 3D rendered video walkthrough.  This contest is about realistic and useful design of a shipping container bug out location, NOT about how skilled you are with Photoshop or VR/CAD applications.

• You can use 1 container or up to a maximum of 8. 

• Please indicate doors windows and any other “Breach” of the skin the containers.  (This is to judge things like security and usability).

• Please do a write up of your design, explaining the design elements, why you put what where, how it helps the design, etc.  Doesn’t have to be too fancy, just enough that we can understand what you were thinking when you designed it and why you designed it that way.

• Other Items.  Let’s be realistic, we are all going to want to put other stuff in our bug out location, fences, gardens, machinery, moats etc.   If we had a million bucks to build a 20 foot concrete wall around it that would be great, but let’s keep it realistic.  You can add a reasonable amount of extra stuff as you see fit.  (Maybe a turret mounted minigun above the entranceJ), but let’s say you have $35,000 cash to outfit the bug out location, that should be adequate to put in some cool stuff but keep it realistic).

• We encourage everyone to post their images and samples directly on the page.  However, if you feel your design is so unique that you want to keep it a secret until the contest is over, by all means message us and we’ll take it individually.  (All entries are subject to publication for discussion on the ZASC Facebook page.
