What did you do today to prep?

[RJGIDD]

Filled up my three 5-gal water jugs again.
Now going for some exercise.

 

[Mono1]

It's just a natural anti-inflammatory.

And a Great Seasoning!

 

[The Heretic]

Got my covid booster shot

Holy cr*p! That's gotta be huge! Got a pic?

Holy cr*p! That's gotta be huge! Got a pic?

Dimensions are 4'x2'x2' but yes, it looks huge. It barely fit inside the cargo space of my SUV

 

[Jbsheepdog]

Canned some more soup for the shelf. And put 20lbs of vacuum packed ground beef in the freezer. Along with a few pot roasts

 

[The Heretic]

Got some new "hybrid" boots/shoes; some Keen Keen Temp Flex footwear. Very lightweight - lighter than some shoes. OD Green.

Got a couple of camo shirts and a quad mag pouch.

 

[AlwaysOnTheGo]

The Mrs and I took advantage of the sun, and did a 2 hour / 6 mile stroll on the trail. Time to burn off some of the Winter weight.

 

[Mono1]

OD Green.

Got a couple of camo shirts

OD and Camo. My home is decorated in that. Been looking for Netting to hang from the ceiling, maybe throw a few leaves on top. Just for atmosphere

Now that I am retired I usually wear Wrangler OD ripstop cargo pants held up by suspenders - stained and dirty, triple and double stitched. When it is cool/cold I wear a flannel jacket/shirt that is green/brown/grey plaid with black trim, or a Carhartt OD ripstop jacket/shirt. So I don't look like a 3%'er decked out for a Proud Boy rally. I look more like a farmer.

Some of my shoes were wearing out and my boots are not always appropriate for going into town, so I have wanted some lightweight waterproof ankle high "boots". I like Keen footwear, and they are made right here in Oregon/Portland - so when I saw these on sale on SG for about half off I picked up a pair in size 14. So far so good.

Could you post a link I'd like to get a pair

KEEN Men's Tempo Flex Waterproof Hiking Boots

Sportsman's Guide carries top-quality discount Outdoor and Hunting Gear, Guns, Ammo, Fishing Supplies and more - all at great low prices!

www.sportsmansguide.com

MSRP is $180 - I paid $100 as a Buyer's Club member (I think it is $40/yr).

They don't have the large toe box most Keens have but I got 14s in part because of that, in part because I crushed my left foot about 25 years ago and it is now a 13.5 while the right is a 13. With normal weight socks these were just a tad tight on the left toes, and a tad loose on the right foot. Just like how my Keen Targhee shoes are. I am going to get some elastic laces and hope that helps.

Sizes are limited.

I have some Keen steel toed high top insulated work boots in size 14 that are a loose fit on both feet even with the steel insoles I added (for protection against nails) - I wear thick socks with those boots and have elastic laces that seem to help. I wear those when using a chainsaw, cutting/splitting wood, or using the flail mower. They are big old stompers. I wouldn't want to walk long distances in them.

I read a lot. You guys really don't want to know today's stories.

Over & Out

I bought more primers, bullets and powder. Waiting for warmer days, so that I can get to reloading in the garage again.

Aloha, Mark

Watched a video on proper handling of a firearm and safety techniques. No matter how much you know, can always learn more.

 

[The Heretic]

Bought more shelf & frozen food.

Filled the gas tank on my daily driver

Ordered some head lights like the one I got for XMas - two for the vehicles.

Got another refill of meds - looks like I have about a year's supply of Imdur and statin - probably the more important heart meds to not run out of.

 

[The Heretic]

My "headlights" ( https://www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/headlight-led-lightbar-type.398458/ ) arrived via UPS, so I charged them up (one took significantly longer than the other), and I am putting them in my vehicles.

I am conserving my firewood right now - using the furnace instead. If it snows any significant amount or we have freezing rain/ice, then it is not uncommon for the power to go out and I want plenty of firewood for that case. I may go out and cut/split/stack some more again; I still have a few logs handy that I need to clean up before summer.

Warms you twice. At least twice.
