How to survive a natural disaster
(Preview)
I came across this great article on https://www.facebook.com/FreeCampingAustralia7 and thought I'd share. Most of us well travelled campers would know these things, but the newbies may not. And of course, a lot of it is just plain old common sense. http://mandrake1975.hubpages.com/hub/Ho...
