What did you do today to prep?

[Angie]

Planted heirloom asparagus and strawberries crowns. Started some tomato seeds and ordered quite a bit from Baker Creek Heirloom seeds. Unable to get time to put in a garden this year, so it will all have to be in pots. Some of the Baker seeds will not be planted this year and just kept in the fridge after I seal them.

Renewed Legion membership. Get a free knife....my wife says you don't need another knife. I said you can never have too many knives, look at the silverware drawer.

Decided to whip up a batch of hardtack before bed. Let harden for a few days then into an airtight container it goes. Nothing like some really cheap prep food that lasts for years.

Can you send me the recipe? Or a link to one? Thanks.

I've been catching up on gun stuff. There's so much to do that the defense area got pretty neglected. I'm on a budget and it's taken time to get closer to where I want to be.

I recently filled two holes that seemed necessary. I picked up an M1916 Oviedo Spanish Mauser chambered in 7.62 Nato and a used 7.5" Super Blackhawk. The Mauser is a mixmaster, but, the chamber, barrel and muzzle are good. It cleaned up pretty well and I'll mount front and rear Mojo sights on it when they show up. I wanted a deer-getter/semi standoff rifle and this should work. We're in the woods, and there isn't a 100yd. shot here unless you go out to the road. Oh yeah and it was really cheap.

The SBH is excellent, but it was stored in a leather Slim Jim holster and the barrel is pretty badly pitted. I bought it to carry and shoot, so it fits the bill and it was also nicely priced due to cosmetics.

So I get to have two new guns that will be useful and feel at least superficially virtuous for furthering our survival.

GOG, I am a huge fan of superficial virtue! Just ask my spousal unit!

The last 3 snows that kept the kids home for days showed simple stuff needs to be routine. I've recharged all the rechargeable batteries, doubled down on standard pantry stuff like peanut butter, soups, catsup, flour. This year's garden seeds arrived yesterday and I picked up a pressure canner so the green beans can be safely put aside.

 

[Brutus57]

Watered our seedlings, good start indoors on tomatoes, peas and cabbage so far.
Cleaned Seven6too ex 30nine.

I had some family who owned a fair size ranch just outside of Lemhi, Peterson creek area. I spent a few summers up there. Absolutely fantastic country. I would say that was a fantastic move.

Well there is the river and the mountains on both sides,of course and I have found the gun store,hat maker,cobbler/boot maker,fly shop,bakery and fudge shop.
I guess it's best to head north or south for big supplies.I guess there might be a few Morman stores down in Idaho Falls,lol

 

[gunfreak]

Had some time after work so I hit some shooting spots and picked up some brass. Prepped and primed all the 5.56 brass I have and bought some more reloading components.

 

[Ttuck]

Ordered a dump pouch that can be attached to either a belt or to PALS webbing. Will be great on long hikes if i have trash or find anything of interest but don't want to put it in my main pack. Also will be great when out shooting and putting my empty mags in instead of fussing with em putting them back into the mag pouches.

I know Salmon pretty well, enjoy the snow!

So, lots to catch-up on here, I dropped several tons of trees and skidded em to the property for fire wood, enough for 4-5 years? Dropped some Doug fir as well, 2 years worth. Learned a lot about tuning-up chain saws. Rebuilding fence now. Clearing 2nd growth and hauling off some trash to allow more sun into garden area/firewood landing so I'm building a corduroy road bed. Will be dropping several maples and alders soon, building another lean-too for wood storage. Some interior spruce-up on site #1 is in the cards. Adding to all the usual supplies, bought Baofeng radios last week.
Lots of wood to split this summer. Hope to start shooting at long range this year.

Watched several prep videos....beginning to build a bungee sling, also rearranging some ready mags.

I had a bungi sling, when I moved the carbine would start to bounce and keep bouncing. I tried heavier bungi and that helped but I have not been entirely satisfied
