Our friends at 4Patriots offer some advice on how to broach the subject of survival with your kids as well as a great way to get them involved in creating an emergency plan for your family.

Should I keep my spare magazines empty or filled? Will the SurvFilter work on saltwater? Is my phone recording my doctor’s appointments? This week’s mailbag covers all this and more.

It was nearly impossible to narrow down this week’s batch of must-read articles. In the end, I decided not to limit myself to five pieces. Instead, I elected to include a sixth bonus article for your reading pleasure. Take a look.

If you, like my colleagues on the East Coast, are stuck inside on this snowy day, don’t worry — I’ve prepared this batch of must-read articles so you can pass the time and brush up on some important safety and survival information.
