Guiding you (and your pets) safely through the dangers of winter
by Tim MacWelch (5 out of 5 stars)

For those who have commented on our antifreeze tip - I thank you so much for your concern for the environment and our companion animals. I know for a fact that everyone involved in the production of this book loves their pets (and yours too), and we want every one of them to be safe and happy. The section that seems to be creating confusion for a few people is a section on leaving your home vacant and without heat for the winter. There I recommend using antifreeze or rubbing alcohol in the toilet to keep it from freezing and shattering. I stand by my statement, as my family has used this trick successfully for years. It's important to note that there are several brands of pet-safe and environmentally safe antifreeze on the market. Additionally, the book was very clear that this technique is for an unoccupied home - so no pets should have access to these treated toilets. Since this book was written with the intention of safely guiding you through winter, it would be beneficial for readers to hear how the book fared as a survival guide and rated accordingly.

Thanks - the author.

Did not realize this was basically a collection of articles from outdoor life. All in all though some very practical advice. Had no idea you could use snow for toilet paper :-)

If you're going to spend any time outside this winter it's a good source of info

DO NOT use Ethylene glycol, poisoning is caused by the ingestion of ethylene glycol, the primary ingredient in automotive antifreeze. Automotive engine antifreeze in your toilet bowls or drains is very bad! My friends dog died from drinking it, and where do you think it goes after flushing down the drain? It causes pollution to the environment weather you have a septic tank or sewer! If you must winterize please use a propylene glycol based formula found in RV & Marine Antifreeze that Complies with the USDA and FDA regulations for use in applications where contact with food or beverage may occur. Thank you for your understanding.
