The True Meaning of Labor Day

(Before It's News)

A couple of years ago I wrote an article about what Labor Day has become in the 21st century.  If you have a moment, today I invite you to reflect upon the true meaning of Labor Day – beyond the picnics, the family gatherings and the rest of the end of summer activities.

THE FINAL WORD

From time to time I feature bonus articles that are buried in the Backdoor Survival archives.  I hope you enjoy this one.

Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!

This month Emergency Essentials is having a huge sale on Mountain House Products. The selection is huge.  Not only that, for a limited time shipping is free on all orders of $150 or more.

One of my personal favorites is the Mountain House Chili Mac (shown below) which is 40% off at $15.89 for a #10 tin.  And for a snack or dessert, the Mountain House Ice Cream Sandwiches are one of the Survival Husband’s favorites.  I am more of a fruit person myself.
