What did you do today to prep?

[Capn Jack]

tac,
If you weren't so far away I'd help you "Taste test"....I love Mincemeat Pie.
As far as serious prepping goes....1,000 rnds + for each caliber, gas for the generator, freezer full of meat, pantry full of non perishables and if it comes down to a "Bug Out", the boat is across the street with full tanks.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

The above kind of fits right in with prepping! I remember my mom preparing and canning mince meat, from venison. It must have lasted pretty well, because she only did it every couple of years! I hated it when I was a kid, fond of it these days, though!

I got a great deal on a Pelican 1200 case on Amazon.com.

As an aside, they are estimating $3.3B in worldwide online sales Friday.

I've reloaded some 1,500 rounds of assorted pistol rounds... This is archived SHTF kinda ammo... And about 500 rounds of plinking ammo...

Also ordered up a couple of iwb holsters for the Kimber Micro 9...

 

[Brutus57]

Ugh.

Exactly, I just have to make the best of this Socialist CRAP for my years here. On the bright side we found 5 possible houses on the local lake to buy. I am taking the approach it will be a "white collar" gulag. Bless my brother in W. WA. We went out the day before Thanksgiving to Bass Pro and he bought another safe just for me. It will live in his garage and he is mailing me the keys. So a few freedom tools an Kali banned mags will live there. Once I get a place down here I will bring more down.

That's cool! Your brothers got your back! Best of luck in Kali!

Went out to Sportsman's today and got a little, S&W boot knife!

More prepping to prep; Met with the builder and walked the property. Reviewed and revised house plans prior to submitting to architect and engineer. Lots of concrete! Security doors and limited accessible windows. House placement with visibility in mind. Contacted excavator for advice and quote in the next week or two. Okayed the builder to get the permitting ball rolling. Discussed generator backup and possibility of wind generator (hilltop).
Won't go much further than that until my current place sells. Hoping to start moving dirt and pounding nails by July.

Have also been working on plans for a go-anywhere vehicle once the new house and shop are done. Think Unimog. Hopefully that project can begin in early '18.

Nice!

Dunno about a 'Mog. Seen a bunch & yeah they are pretty awesome. I'm sure you've thought on it a bunch though. MY go anywhere vehicle would be more along the lines of a nice older, but new (pre-sulfur) diesel pickup with a pop-up type camper with pass thru on it. Like a flat bed XP, or FWC (the flatbed FWC is pretty outstanding).

 

[notazombie]

Maybe I shouldn't have said go anywhere. How about go lots of places. I'm fixated on a 4x4 medium sized, cab over, short wheelbase, flatbed with a diesel -- not a dually. Might even base it on an NPR. It's still a ways off. Lots could change.

Received my two Chinese utility "tactical" waist packs today!



These guys are to go with some MidwayUSA 4 magazine pouches I bought a while back. I've done better ones for us and the kids. But, I'll get these packed with less expensive knives, rudimentary first aid kits, flashlights, fire starting, compass, etc. to equip my troops!

The waist packs were through Amazon, $7.98 ea free shipping!

Did a Winco shop & picked up some bagged tea to put up.

Red Rose 100 ct, ~$3, Winco brand 100 ct, ~$2.

Bought a bunch on the Winco brand.

Not big hot tea drinkers, but we do enjoy iced made from the Red Rose. The Winco branded is a blend of Orange Pekoe & Pekoe cut Black Tea similar to Red Rose. Pretty decent value, and a nice backup for coffee as well.

We might buy some pressed tea blocks, as they store extremely well and supposedly get better with age.

 

[Jerderv]

started putting together a car kit.

 

[The Heretic]

Ordered a Tyvek hoodie coverall suit and gloves, booties and a "bionic" face shield. The idea is to use that in combo with duct tape and a P95 filter in case there is some reason to protect myself from fallout or biohazard, etc., where I may need to decon.

Not optimal, but better than nothing.

RX'd 1K rounds of 5.7

Delayed post; helped my son in law cut, vacuum-pack & put away an elk on Sunday.

harvested the last of the tobacco crop before the freeze came in.

Handy to have for a bunch of things. Volcanic ash comes to mind, and doing odd jobs you wouldn't normally find yourself doing.

 

[The Heretic]

Got them last night.

The gloves are just plain nitrile gloves - nothing special. I think I will order something better. In my experience the nitrile gloves don't last long. For decon you would want something a little more robust.

 

[The Heretic]

I also ordered and RX'd Gerber BG fixed blade "survival knife".

For $25 or so it doesn't look too bad. Going to leave it in its package and give it as a Xmas gift.

Started working some "gigs" dealing black jack for company parties. Should net me between $400-$500 for December. Will use the $$$ for supplies.

Bought a Mora knife, 4 Life Straws, 100 rounds of 22lr, and a laser for a new xds

You should like the xds, I've been very happy with mine.
