Today I ordered all of the remaining parts to finish building my first AR15, my SHTF gun.

Mind if I ask what lower you went with? I'm toying with the idea of building one up over time myself.

Got a labrador retriever from the pound.

Good call. Thank you for that

 

[Ragingpit]

I bought 2 7gallon water storage containers, 200 ft of 300 pound test rope and some MRE's

 

[Member 5605]

Two boxes of 180gr for the XD40. 1 was FMJ the other holla points.

Boxes building... (I also went and got my fingerprints) Come tuesday I'll have my packet turned in...

 

[Wenis]

Purchased some pmags, some more 5.56 ammo, and a 55gal water barrel. Also looking into what it will take to reduce all my debt. I've begun to reevaluate all my future purchases based on preparedness in relation to spending.

Very good Wenis, finances are something I need to get more in order.

Today I repacked my kit and was able to free up loads more room, purchased a more portable sleeping bag and binoculars...oh and send some $$$ to coctailer for my first AR. WOOT!

Started the process of rotating my 10 gallons of gasoline by putting them into our vehicles. Waited too long again - should have done this three months ago to keep on a six-month cycle.

This chore is something that I absolutely hate because I inevitably get gas all over the place. Anyone w/ good suggestions on how to store/rotate/deal with gasoline? - please PM me. My metal jerry cans always seem to leak. Plastic cans build-up pressure in the summer & leak just sitting there.

Next projects: check status of my food; check status of water; acquire a large drip-style water filter; replace expired medications; acquire water/food/heat for my mom (who's moving out of town soon); more ammo; research chainsaws

I prefer metal over plastic gas cans. 90% of their leaking while pouring is the gasket and the spout. gaskets are around a buck to replace at the surplus store in town, and tend to need it at least once a year. ($1 x 5 cans = $5 a year, not terrible, but between heat and the gas itself they wear out quickly.)
the spout, it's kinda a matter of just finding a good one. my US one leaks slightly, but my Euro one doesn't at all. the other 10% can be the can's opening, if it's bent, eroded slightly, etc.

Put my new survival/get home pack in my car, now have twin mosin's to practice and accurize with. an SKS has been added to the collection, along with a 9mm, now i just need bottled water and food stuffs for the pack.

Crossing my fingers on a new job, and switching my efforts to getting out of debt, buying precious metals (smartly) and getting the gang familiar with my new arms.

Catch up from the weekend. Cleaned garden beds for early Spring planting, improved fence on hen house, fitted my new RRA lower to my Stag 20" upper for my second AR.

I need to rotate out some old MREs. Anyone have a good source for replacements?

I bought 1000 rds CCI mini mags (finally back in stock), and 4 boxes of shotgun shells.

 

[Riot]

Bought more ammo....completed an ammo inventory of all callibers and cycled through loaded-unloaded magazines.

What'd that cost? I picked up just 100 rounds of those when I got a pack a 555 winchester super X bulk. It is good to see .22lr inventory replenish.

 

[Texfisher33]

They were $5.99 a box. I'd love it if they were keeping in stock so they'd put them on sale again. Before our buddy got in the White House they were on sale at Bi-mart constantly...

Muddy,
check out www.theepicenter.com
They are out of Eugene, OR. They carry tons of MRE's, Freeze dried, canned food, etc. SUPER prices (and believe me, Ive spent WAY too much time the past year looking) on this stuff.
For example, Their 7-day supply of Mountain House (also Oregon company) kit is about $100. If you go to Bimart, same stuff will run you about $150. Costco.com sells the SAME kit for $399!
And if you have any questions, the lady that answers the phone KNOWS her stuff & can usually tell you how something tastes! They even put an order together for me & met my sister there on a Saturday to pick up to save me the shipping.
