What did you do today to prep?

[Blitzkrieg]

All going to depend up your water table and topography. Even with suitable topography and location, water evacuation / removal is going to be needed. Any time you dig a hole in Western Oregon or Washington it turns into a pond in the winter.

Unless it's on a cliffside

Don't follow my example! "HONEY- THAT SHELF'S NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THAT-" Crash!

Well, guess we won't be getting part of our apartment's deposit back will we?

Part of prepping is situational awareness. That is, you are consciously aware of whats going on around you.

I have been using "Identity Guard" now for about 9 months trying to clean up my credit to buy a house and I've worked my little pea picking heart out. Well they have a "Guesstimate" computer software program that takes known data, chugs out a credit report that they claim is accurate.

According to them, my score was 697, 704, and 706 from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.

Imagine my dismay when I ordered reports from the "Big 3" and they came back as 683, 607 and 735.

OK, 683 is close to 697. 735 would be NICE compared to 706. But jeepers to slide from 704 down to 607? That's a 97 point drop!!

I can skate on the Experian and the TransUnion, but the Equifax is certainly a "no-go" for house buying.

Prepping, also means making sure your finances are healthy enough to fulfill your economic plans. I was under the impression I was "good to go" and I'm not. *Big sigh*

Don't give up, Tt!!! Took the wife and I a couple trys to get there. You'll make it too!

I got the amendments spaded into the vegetable garden. We're supposed to have some rain this week and I needed to get it done. I'll let the rain hit it and then in a few days cover it with black plastic and let it cook a bit.

I did something huge (real big) today....Can't say what yet but I am bursting at the seams with excitement! I will post when check is cut!

We are close on this....Cant say just yet but it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[joie777]

sized and lubed 38 bullets take me a while made a bunch of lead ones alwyas make more than you need might need them and not have time to make them!!

 

[U201492]

Oh, I'm not giving up. At worst, we'll have to put it off until 2015 when all the crap falls off- I thought most of it had already. *Big sigh* Oh well-gives more time to save for the big move, and jettison all the crap we have. Keep the sentimental stuff, guns, tools, motorcycle AND THE WIFES CRYSTAL COLLECTION. Then move like we've got a purpose.

Rotated/organized supplies.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Found some more USGI magazines and promptly loaded them with fresh PMC .223 ammo...

 

[JackThompson]

Found 2 1lb jugs of IMR 3031 powder! That's 750 rounds of .223/7.62x39 I can make!

Also picked up 200 more small rifle primers and a box of Sellier and Bellot shotgun shells.

So here's a peek into my OCD...

I like the Sellier and Bellot 12 gauge buckshot loads. MAX powder 3" shells. Biggest bang I can get. I carry it in my defense shotgun and I have a shoulder strap that holds 10 more rounds on it.

So with 5 in the magazine I had 5 in my bandolier.. which left half the slots empty! (This drives me crazy...)

So I picked up the 10 round box today so I could fill my bandolier.. and now I have 5 extra rounds! (This also drives me crazy...)

I could go shoot the extra 5 rounds and be done with it you say????

This would leave me with 15 rounds of sellier and bellot 12 gauge shells! That's not an EVEN number! (This also drives me crazy...)

So here I sit.. with 5 extra rounds... I need to find a 5 pack...

For the record I have plenty of 2 3/4 12 gauges 00 buck... these are just my first response rounds

I'd leave the gun/bandoleer full and buy 995 more rounds to make a even 1k. That's a acceptable starting point IMO.

 

[JackThompson]

I have several hundred rounds of 2 3/4 00 buck, and the 3" magnum rounds are spendy! I agree that 1,000 in 00 buck is a good starting goal though!

Rotated/organized supplies.

*Said with a straight face, sounding funny, but means well* Tactical, this urge to rotate and organize supplies,,,,was the motovation caused when you kicked a box of .223/5.56 NATO steel cased that was under the bed while going pee at zero dark thirty? *Rubbing his little pinky toe in fond memory of agony at the thought of HIS personal motivation*

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I love that 12 pellet S&B stuff, have a full case of it loaded into SKS bandoleers stowed in 50 cal cans

Something like that.

Buttstock, sock style shell holder! About the only thing Uncle Mikes makes that I would buy again.
