Don't neglect the value of your chainsaws my friends...they are also effective against Zombies!!! I used to work at a small engine repair shop...and lines got real long (meaning longer wait) after the first snow/wind storm and guys realize that they left gas in saw...or forgot to sharpen chain after last use...etc, etc, etc.

So I start mine weekly and bring it to operating speed...shut down and then readjust chain if needed. I guarrntee in case of Emergency, I can start that saw faster than you can open your safe.

I shared some of the NWFA Preparedness & Survival treasures with my wife. She asked me what "SHTF" meant, so I told her. I took the time to explain how those four little letters sum up what she has, with great verbosity and agitation, been worrying about for the past few days* and assured her we are better off than most, but could do more. She seems to think that is a good idea now.

I finally had a preparedness conversation with a friend that actually seemed to sink in last night!!! So my preps for today are sending her useful information to get her started! I know its not physical but it is a HUGE victory for me! (Even if just a tiny step forward for her) Also placed another small order from Shelf Reliance... 20% off sale this month!

Went through all my ammo and organized it in ammo cans, made a list of what ammo I need to buy. Cleaned my Glock 26 and my 870P. Also went to work, to finance my supplies.

LASIK surgery. Really the best thing I have ever done to prep.

Roxy, good for you.

FYI: Economist Nouriel Roubini was quoted today on Yahoo! Finance today "EuroZone 'In Denial', US Postpones Reforms" noted that he did forsee a double dip recession in the Euro Zone with hard landing in China by 2013 or as early as 2012.

Is that what you call this over my belt?

I made seven MRE's, my first attempt at doing it myself. I'm happy with the finished product.

I packed 12 one gallon/5lbs mylar bags with baking soda, lentils, lipton tea bags, navy beans, old fashion oats, pinto beans, rice and sugar. I usually wouldn't bother with some small quantities, but I got a great deal on the one gallon mylar bags and I had access to all the above items for little or no cost.

Trying to do this...

Constructing a Backpack VHF Field Radio, by Ed S. - SurvivalBlog.com

Bought this...

Amazon.com: Uniden UM380 Class D Full - Feature Fixed Mount VHF Marine Radio, White: GPS & Navigation

But only paid $83-ish after shipping on e-bay.


Kinda surprised about the interest with this. Want to buy a couple of these as well as portables with the Uniden as a base radio. Will give you all an update once the project is completed.

Anyone have a website for cheap Marine VHF radios? I had this one picked out for the longest time but they never to seam to have anything in stock. Months of checking they haven't had anything in stock...I think that someone is either buying out their stock to resell it, they're not updating their site or they're not purchasing enough to meet their demands.
