What did you do today to prep?

[jmh119]

Bought 6 boxes of strike anywhere kitchen matches and my daughter and I decapped and primed 200 cases. Tomorrow we bell them and start loading.

GREAT VIDEO, good advice. I think the cost is not an issue when it comes to clean drinking water (boiling takes much longer). That is the first thing I did today, second, target practice. Third, bought more ammo. I like the emergency car/truck kits. Next on the list for me. Keep 'em in the 10 ring boys! God bless...

 

[Ragingpit]

I bought 5 batteries for my Surefire flash light, 1000 rds of brass and bullets for my AR-15 and made a list with my wife of things that we need to start buying and collecting.

Nothing here.

Started my 2010 seed order. Consulting both the Maritime Northwest Garden Guide and Steve Solomon's Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades as usual.

 

[bersaguy]

Ordered 9mm and .380 dies and 500 .380 95 gr. bullets

 

[Gunner3456]

Ordered 9mm and .380 dies and 500 .380 95 gr. bullets

That's the same set of dies, right? Just one set for both?

 

[Arkarayne]

got my girl a M38 carbine for an early birthday present. De-cosmo'd it and stained/poly'd.
Then proceeded to ask me "Is this for me or are you just letting me use it?"


Oh and 400 rounds.

my 9mm dies say, on the label, 9mm, 9x21 and 9x23.
a quick search on the web shows that 9x21 is 9mm but I am having a little trouble finding the conversion for 9x23.

I worded that horribly. You need two sets of dies for 9mm and .380 I thought you were saying just one.

You can load 9x21 and 9x23 with the same dies with different adjustments. Do you have such a gun and such ammo?

9x19 is 9mm Luger and 9mm parabellum and 9mm Nato - what we typically call 9mm.

 

[jmh119]

I have the Ruger P95DC and Ruger Black Hawk. Both are 9mm.

 

[coctailer]

Bought a Yaesu VX-3 radio for my GHB.

 

[Gunner3456]

I have the Ruger P95DC and Ruger Black Hawk. Both are 9mm.

They are almost certainly 9x19, aka 9mm Luger and 9mm parabellum and 9mm Nato - all the same thing except Nato is a hotter round.

 

[bersaguy]

No, they are two separate sets of dies. You can't do .380 with 9mm luger dies.

Didn't see your clarification when I posted my previous post.

Repacked my "go everywhere" bug out kit.
This is the one that is always with me, that I can grab really fast and get away on foot if needed.
I have a full size backpack that stays in the truck but that may not always be accessible.

Allen Hydration Pack - 1.5 Liter ($27.97@Bimart)
1st Aid Kit
Rain Poncho/Shelter
200' Nylon paracord - 440 lb rated
100 x 9mm JHP in 2 pouches
66 x 9mm in 2 magzines
Water purification tabs - up to 10 quarts
LED headlamp
Box cutter knife
Gerber River Shorty knife
candles, matches, lighter
Notebook and pencil


I have room for more small items so need to add some energy bars, emergency fishing kit, signal mirror, and maybe an emergency blanket.

Thanks for the tip Gunner

 

[Wenis]

Bought a First Aid kit and stocked it with common medicines. Went through my backpacking gear and organized it. I now keep it all packed, ready to go, minus a fuel bottle in case it leaks/spills.

 

[BlvdKing]

I got a couple gas masks
