Happy Paratus, my peeps!

Yes, once again it is that time of year. The backpacks are left by door with care, in hopes the Long Range Recon Gift Squad will soon be there. The water is on the stove for the freeze dried dinner, a Walking Dead marathon is teed up on the bigscreen, and we’re all wearing our favorite combat boots. It’s a Norman Reedus Rockwell Paratus! ( Made even more poignant by virtue of The Current Situation.)

As has become my habit, gifts and cards were sent to a small group of people…mostly people I know IRL, or over years of email/blogging…. however, if you’ve sent me something by snail mail and used your real return address, or you signed up for Patreon and gave me some contact info, you probably got a card this year.

What was this years card?

Paratus 2021

If you didn’t get a card this year, it’s pretty easy to get on the hit list…. donate something to the blog through Patreon or snail mail and leave me your mailing address. Or, be someone I associate with in real life who I can actually tolerate. Or send me a card as well.

I hope you all have a happy and renumerative Paratus. Did you get cool gear this year? Did you do something special with your fellow survivalists? Did you get chased out of Cabela’s for raising a fuss when they didn’t offer a Paratus discount? Let’s hear about it in comments.

A friendly reminder that Paratus, the holiday for survivalists, is in two weeks. In case you’re new here, Paratus is the holiday that was founded to give survivalists a reason to socialize, buy new gear, and do cool stuff. You can read about it here at the world famous Paratus FAQ.

Some of you beautiful freaks will be getting Paratus cards and gifts this year. But even if you don’t, you’ll have my warmest wishes for a Happy Paratus.

Get your survivalist buddies a nice gift…or make plans to head to the range…or hang around the house eating pizza and watching Walking Dead and Jericho episodes. The only wrong way to celebrate Paratus is to not celebrate it!

Got a favorite online vendor for gear? Ask if theyre having a Paratus sale this year. Spread the word!

And, as always, if you wanna get the Zero a little somethin’ for the holiday you can always send Amazon gift card codes or you can sign up for Patreon… either one gets you on the card list. And, really, who doesn’t want to be on yet another List?

A reminder that Paratus, the holiday of and by survivalists, is coming up in about six weeks.

I just got this years Paratus cards delivered yesterday. If you’ve been a cool dude (or dudette) and sent me anything in snail mail that had your return address on it, you’re on the list. Note to Aesop: email me your mailing address, man.

As always, if you wanna get Zero a little something for Paratus, I prefer multicam or OD, 9mm and .223, and Glock or AR platform.

Hey guys…a reminder that Paratus, the holiday of, by , and for survivalists is coming up in two months. Shop early, avoid the rush!

If you’re new to paratus, the world-famous Paratus FAQ is available.

This year, Paratus falls on Sept. 17 2021.

As always, contact your local gun/ammo/food/med vendors and ask if they’re having any Paratus sales this year. Let’s get this holiday the recognition it deserves!

And, yes, Paratus cards will be going out this year for the third year in a row.

I received a Paratus gift in the mail the other day from someone and I figured I’d recognize their generosity here. In keeping with the demographic that show up in this blog, they chose to remain anonymous but wherever they’re “stuck” they have my grattitude. Thank you, sir! Best wishes for a productive apocalypse.

Happy Paratus, my peeps!

What was this years card? Why, this little ditty:

Paratus cards (and, in some cases, gifts) went out today. There are a few people whom I do not have current snail mail addresses for and am waiting to hear back from.

Didn’t get a Paratus card but want to be like the cool kids and get one next year? Easypeasy: either bribe me into it with a subscription to Patreaon or an Amazon gift card, or interact with me on a more-than-superficial level. Also, if you’re a blogger and you pimp my blog a bit…that works too.

Anway…cards are on the way and I’ll post a picture pf the cards Friday on Paratus. In the meantime, get your last minute shopping done. And be sure to ask your favorite freezedried/ammo/gear vendor if they have a Paratus sale, and if not, why not? (And when they say “Because i never heard of it” you can send ’em here.)

Two weeks from today (Sept. 18, 2020)  is Paratus! The holiday of, for, and by survivalists.

Everything you wanted to know about Paratus is here in the glorious Paratus FAQ.

Got a business that’s running a Paratus sale? Lemme know and I’ll post a link. Let’s drive some traffic and get this holiday off the ground!

As for me, well…..I’m  easy to shop for. Which reminds me, if you’ve signed up to support the blog on Patreon, send me an email with the email address you used to sign up and your mailing address if you would like to receive one of this year’s Paratus cards.
