What did you do today to prep?

[dingo97223]

Got some new old stock NSA 50C water filters, a Berkey water filter and some ozone generators...all to be used for water filtration/sterilization, in different circumstances/scenarios. I think at this point I could turn even PortaPotty waste into safe drinking water...
How are you guys preparing in case city and bottled water becomes unavailable/unsafe?

A private well with a good aquifer.

Been meanin' to build a purification still/set-up... just ain't gotten around to it yet...

I took a nap.

Actually, I've always wanted to build a still, but instead of for ETOH, maybe I'll make it for water purification. Hey, couldn't hurt!

Welp, your preps are way ahead of mine!

Went down to LnI , and bank to sign all paperwork for a new small business. Insurance and bonding.
An LLC
Prepping for employment crash…little more self sufficiency. Just in case and side work…. Client base for small jobs, home, appliance, and HVAC repairs. Maybe work a network of like minded folks.
Exciting…..

My wife and I have a little 'non-business' publishing our books. We had considered actually establishing an LLC and real publishing company, but having to deal with some possible 'iffy' employees / applicants and their 'ways' made it undesirable. Didn't want to get sued because I wouldn't hire a freak.

I ordered one of these moaning pocket poozeys...you never know when you need one, if push comes to shove....I might even pimp it out for a meal or somethin'...

That buy far is the most interesting spelling of that word yet! Lol

Hiring people isn't mandatory! I think you're safe!

Nice….. just my wife and I 50/50…not looking for employees, I'd prefer to stay small.
I've done work for local residential owners and property management companies on and off for years. Get more work with licensing and insurance stuff. Really easy money in residential home repairs.
I still have a Seattle Union job….. it's a just in case measure and fun money.

I got some mud tires - real dedicated mud tires, the kind that are such that the tread is so deep you can't balance them - for my pickup.

They should work just fine for snow too, but this year being the exception, I just don't get that much snow.

I had been putting off getting mud tires, but I came across a deal I couldn't pass up.

Now I just need to get them mounted on the rims I have.

Eventually I will get some lockers too - but those are a bit spendy. One thing at a time.

I literally just got back from the tire shop having these mounted for the Willys! Cant wait to get them mounted on the Pickup and see how it looks!

Nice.

These are what I got:


In 15", about 31-32" - taller than the 16" ATs I have on the pickup now, but not was wide.

Only 9" wide, but that is more or less what I want. I don't want to have to lift the pickup to fit really tall & wide tires on it, but I do want something that is self cleaning. I am not going to do any serious deep mudding, I just wanted something that can handle a muddy FS type road, like the one on my back acreage - no serious ruts and certainly no mudholes, it just gets slick when it rains because it is pure dirt with no gravel - just a road the dozer made when I had that acreage logged.

I have some 16" rims I was going to put mudders on, but these will do just fine.

I want to get back there earlier in the spring and later in the fall, and not worry much about getting stuck just because it rained a bit.

Eventually I will get some new ATs for the street, but the used ones I have are safe enough to put a few more miles on them until then.

Went to the range, put a box of FMJ and a mag +1 of my current JHP through my new 1911 10mm long slide...

Nice little snap, solid and smooth, some partial mag dumps with decent grouping even with the low light...

Definitely loving 10mm

50 gallon drums under the gutters in both locations and some stock inside I rotate. Multiple style filters which is the easy part as I get out in the woods and use them as well.

Began my research into cap and ball non-firearms to see about simpler non-gun guns...

Bought 6 of theses from Amazon for $22.48 each. Pricing for this more convenient packaging is just a smidge cheaper than buying the same fruit in #10 cans. 25-30 year shelf life apples and strawberries. Banana chips are 10 year. These are going into vehicle bags.

Also just checked Costco online and they have the 6 pack of Nutristore Freeze Dried Strawberries on sale for $129.99. It's the best deal I've seen on strawberries for quite a while so I grabbed one.

Spendy, but not the worst I've seen.
