What did you do today to prep?

[erudne]

Thanks

Stocked up at the 20% off wine sale at Grocery Outlet

Thanks BTW Do you know a source of irradiated food? I still believe that is the best method for long term storage.

I was at the 138th Costco yesterday. They do NOT have this in stock.

Online only. HOWEVER free shipping and it beats the price on the shelfreliance.com website.

I have no hookup on irradiated food. Might be hard to get that out here with all the mindless tree hugger lemmings.....

Bought 12 120MM ammo cans from a member here.. each big enough to store a carbine, pistol, accessories and ammo. he can get more if you want some

BiMart has 20lb propane cylnders for $26, bought three and took those (and the two I already have for the gas grill) to get filled @ the local service station. Those three new ones go into my emergency pantry.

We finally picked up a propane oven/stove combo from Costco this weekend (very excited about that!). Also got shelves for our patio storage area to organize things out there.

Word to the wise.. stow those propane cylinders outside and away from your residence.. one rifle bullet passing tru them will make a heck of a fire bomb

My amazon first aid supplies started to arrive, yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa, now I get to spend more time vacuum sealing it to the item clean and sanitary and by using clear vacuum bags they be easily identified when the time comes for their useage.

Did you buy Celox? Essential, IMO

Yep, I sure did, I had my doctor sign a letter of medical need (on everything) for backpacking emergency first aid kit, so I can get re-imbursed from my pre-tax fleible spending account.

Every year i try to put more away pre-tax in that fund, and find ways to use it, I found out I can use pretax flexible spend account funds for mileage to and from the store to buy approved over the counter items or ones with a LMN letter. $.23 per mile is better than nothing, I added this for those reading that have one of these accounts where they work.

The wife and I are all into The Walking Dead, although she has never been a fan of guns (it's a guy thing). I recently recorded a show called Brian Metzger's Decoded (or something similar). We watched it together last night.

This morning, before I left for work, I told my wife that we need to prepare, just in case. We need to stock food, water, and other essentials.

She said............




Yeah, and more guns.

Amazon sells Celox with no restrictions. I prefer the syringe applicator. Kotex are also excellent bloodstoppers and 100 or 120 MPH tape is great wound tape if you shave the area first

Hydrogen peroxide is an essential as well

My wife has her own .357 magnum S & Ws, Glock 40s and AR15s. I don't think I would take on a female who was not a true gunner

She's a little femmy blonde

I built a first aid kit yesterday. I recently purchased some 55 gal water barrels.

What's in your Aid Kit?

 

[Stomper]

Yeah, a med-kit is the next major thing I plan to focus on... Along with potable water storage.
