What did you do today to prep?

[Stomper]

Well the green onions grow like wild fire...over and over again. I just had to trim them down and throw away the greens just a few days ago. It works great which made me look into the celery. Still in the new phase with the celery- I think that will take much longer to grow.

Off Topic-

I remember the PT fields from my Army days smelling like onions for all the wild onions growing like weeds among the grass... Then everyone stinking like sweat and onions after an hour or two of "grass drills" at 0-dark-30.... Ahhhh those were the days. LOL!

Got tasked to upgrade a dozen fire extinguishers at a condo complex and instead of discarding the old ones that just reached their two-year expiration I kept them.

They are still 95% as good as brand new, just a fire code thing. Since prepping is all about being independent of government services, that should include fire services. A stack of fire extinguishers may not do that, but it can't hurt. Plus if it gets really bad and gangs are tossing fire cocktails they might come in handy.

I bought gasoline

I wonder how they would do in a green house @45 degrees?

FYI that Bartell Drugs has BIC lighters on sale this week - a 5-pack for $2.99 (regularly $5.29).

Neosporin is also on sale.

did our taxes last night. Let just say the pantry budget made a HUGE leap forward. Now to build some shelves etc.

Funny thing you should bring up fire extinguishers and being independent of the government.

Ever wonder what the liberals in the UK are worried about now that all guns are illegal?

Fire extinguishers could be removed from communal areas in flats throughout the country because they are a safety hazard, it has emerged.

The life-saving devices encourage untrained people to fight a fire rather than leave the building, risk assessors in Bournemouth decided.

Picked up some latching rubbermaid tubs for easier mobility for my storage items... Also got a label maker, almost everything will be labeled and organized by this weekend!!! Small victories!!!

Fire extinguishers for communal properties made illegal because people may want to help themselves. Amazing.

As far as prepping, cut down big hedges around the property; started plans for a rain barrel.

i tore apart, seperated, cleaned and packaged 30 old computers and their parts. Im heading out to Estacada to burn all of it on top of a 10 layer of tinfoil to extract the gold and copper, if anyone wants to come and have some drinks and shoot some guns, bring the weenies, and marshmellows.

Bought ammo

 

[Stomper]

I have now amased about a half-ton of stored foodstuff!

 

[gunfreak]

Harvested about a 1/3 of a bucket of lead today from the gun club.

 

[Mark W.]

Added $100.00 to the reloading bench supplies and almost $400.00 in food to the rotation in the pantry. Next step is long term food that does not need to be rotated on a monthly basis.

 

[gunfreak]

That bucket of lead weighed 50#.

 

[Sun195]

Bought some more booze to have on hand - vodka, gin, bourbon. I predict a dry-spell between when the WSLCB stores close (or run out of booze) and when the private sector is allowed to sell (or gets its act together). Best to stock up now.

Good call. I lived in GA when they had no liquor on Sundays. The desperation that transpires in a liquor famine, even one as short as 24 hours, is truly frightening. Just be thankful the switch isn't happening during football season.

Nearly, finished building my Gasifier. When done should be able to run generator and possibly truck on wood. Testing on Briggs & Stratton engine this weekend.
