What did you do today to prep?

[Ragingpit]

I bought some water containers
started to reload a 1000 rounds of .223
priced MRE's, tents, sleeping bags, propane bottles, survival gear, etc...

 

[jdub75]

Picked up a new 20lb propane cylinder from Bimart (on sale right now for $26). Gettin her filled tomorrow.

 

[Skyler]

Went to NAPA looking for a head gasket for a Tucker Torpedo. No Luck.

 

[BlackGunsRFun]

Received my order of 10 large mylar bags and O2 absorbers from mylarbagsdirect.com (good prices and shipping was quicker than expected). Gonna start packing and sealing my 4 gallon square buckets with bulk grains, mixed beans, rice, etc this weekend.

Seeing people limp around Haiti w/ broken limbs, I went out and bought a folding splint today for my first aid kit.

Also, bought some EMT shears - always useful.

I'm "going to school" on this Haiti disaster. I feel really bad for the people as I hope anyone will, and I hope help is there or rushing there, but it's still a real life, real time look at if the SHTF.

I keep reminding myself that if it happened to us, there would be no US to come to our aid.

Just like katrina. No aid from outside our borders. Seems odd.

crap no photo Hmmm

 

[dr*pop]

A LOT. So far, about $20k into it in the last 5 months.

 

[jdub75]

Got a case of MRE's from www.theepicenter.com (REALLY good people to deal with, and local) , pouches of H2o, and filled up a spare propane tank. Now off to Costco to pick up 1 more shelving unit for the garage to have a separate unit for everything 'disaster' related.

 

[MountainBear]

Re-stocked my M1. The last stock got a crack in the rear of the trigger guard going all the way through the grip area and into the buttstock. Once I have it fixed, I'll have an extra stock for the gun I shoot the most. Always good to have a back-up. Two is one, one is none...

 

[smurf hunter]

Pretty modest, but today I got a bunch of long(ish) term food to store.

25lbs bag of rice
10lbs bag of pinto beans
value pack of bandaids
bulk oats
bulk brown sugar
bulk white sugar
bulk salt
bulk chicken bouillon cubes

Dry packed all that and stashed in a safe, accessible place.
Cleaned and filled up a 5 gallon water container.

Also picked up a few hundred rounds of high velocity winchester .22LR on sale

 

[smurf hunter]

Where do you go shopping for quantities like that?

Sam's Club. I've found for basic food items it's considerably cheaper than Costco.

I've never even seen a Sam's Club...I figured they weren't in WA.

We don't have anything that I recall being labeled a "Sam's Club," but we do have a Wal Mart "Super Store." I don't know the difference. I just know it's a lot bigger with a lot more variety than the normal Wal Marts. It has those bulk items.

FWIW, it's in Eagle Point. I think there might be one in Grants Pass too but I can't remember.

Don't overlook Food For Less and Winco too. They are worth a look.

 

[Arkarayne]

Yer up late gunny.

Yeah GP has a supercenter, had a hand in building the extension.

Food 4 Less is awesome for bulk meat too. 1st-10th they have 10lb sales and you can get 10 lbs of ground, sirloin, pork, etc for 2-3 bucks a pound. Divvy it, seal it, freeze it.

Are you having trouble downloading a photo? Sometimes I have to take my photo into the photoshop program and erase some of the picture around the item I'm trying to show and that makes the photo require less information to transfer and it will go through. If I'm wrong about what your talking about then..... I don't know.

Ja sometimes I have probs with my MAC mostly op head space and timing I will try to put it on Photobucket then transfer to here. I was surprised I fit all that in the leg kit so I wanna show it

OK GOT IT THERE ARE PICS NOW!!!

 

[stitchclimber]

picked up a couple more gallons of water for the storage room.

I too use photoshop because it's always open on my box, but you don't need it for that.
