Survival Blog Site Down (SurvivalBlog.com)

Utah server is attempting a dead redirect to Sweden
While checking my site stats tonight, I noticed a large number of people viewing my old post about SurvivalBlog being under attack by a hacker. A quick peek at SurvivalBlog.com shows it is in fact down.

Again, this is a GOOD REASON to get the ENTIRE SB database on CD for under $5!

If you have the old off-shore address, don't bother. It has been taken over by someone else and is no longer affiliated with SB. I have deleted the link from my prior blog post.

I can confirm the Swede server is down at http://95.143.193.148/  and the Utah server @ http://64.92.111.122/ is still showing a redirect message (image provided).

Until JWR gets this handled, PLEASE do NOT try to visit SurvivalBlog.com. The last time it was down was due to a DoS attack (explained previously here) and the worst thing we can do is continue to "charge the gates" of his website. He'll get it back up soon. JWR is a smart cookie.

I'll keep you posted if I hear anything from JWR or Avalanche Lily. Pray for their safety and that this is a simple grid glitch.

PS., while you're waiting for the site to come back up, pick up one of his incredible novels and enjoy some fantastic reading:

Book One: Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse

Book Two:  Survivors: A Novel of the Coming Collapse

Book Three:  Founders: A Novel of the Coming Collapse

Book Four: Don't buy this one until the OFFICIAL BOOK BOMB day which is October 1, 2013. It will help raise the book's awareness level on Amazon if everyone buys it on the same day which helps drive the book up the Amazon charts.

  1. Thanks OJD,
    I kinda thought that's what was happening, but it's always good to have conformation. Also my Hubby says congrats with getting the tractor running and he is seriously jealous. Hang tight, your family will be there soon.

  3. I'll be honest; I'm not worried about the safety of JWR...I'd be worried about anybody going up agin' him! Seriously, tho, I pray things are OK up in his neck of the Redoubt.

    1. I agree. I wasn't quite sure that I used the correct verbiage there. I was just trying to say pray that everything is okay. Thanks for stopping by TXCOMT.

  6. Thank you OJD for the update!

    I was wondering what was going on. Was starting to think I might need to grab my BOB and hit the door ;)

    (btw, just found your site the other day and I can't thank you enough for relating your and your family's story for the rest of us to read!)

  7. Another update available. Capt Rawles has SurvivalBlog back up but only accessible at the moment using his IP address:

    http://64.92.111.122/

    Thanks for the kind words.
