What did you do today to prep?

[Sgt Nambu]

Ordered a Tyvek hoodie coverall suit and gloves, booties and a "bionic" face shield. The idea is to use that in combo with duct tape and a P95 filter in case there is some reason to protect myself from fallout or biohazard, etc., where I may need to decon.

Not optimal, but better than nothing.

RX'd 1K rounds of 5.7

A lot better than wrapping yourself in trash bags!

 

[The Heretic]

Ordered Pachmayr grips for it just now. Hogue doesn't make rubber grips for a square butt J frame

This goes in my GHB once I find a holster for it.

 

[Stomper]

Picked up another twenty USGI 30rnd AR mags, another ten Glock OEM 15rnd G-19 & 33rnd 9mm mags, AND another ten 15rnd USGI M9 mags... I'm all well & truly pre-ban set!

Firearms training with my 9 Y/O grandson; pictured here shooting the MVP Patrol 5.56; he did very-very well!

That's a nice little rifle. Kinda wish I still had mine

 

[Timbertodd]

Added some assorted size bandages to the first aid kit.

Ran the truck and OHV engines for 30 @ minutes today; checked to see if the ATV snow chain would fit on the RTV; no such luck.

Re-built the mount for the snow-blade and re-stalled it onto the RTV yesterday; the old mount was curling up like a pair of cowboy boots.

I received a gift card for BassPro from all the teachers at work. I picked up a couple of LifeStraw
personal water bottles. The balance of the card bought some lipless crankbaits for the bass at Hagg lake.

Friday; moved the reloading bench out of the cold garage and into a warm home office.

Went to town for supplies; went early on the ice to avoid the crowds, and it paid off.

Friday; moved the reloading bench out of the cold garage and into a warm home office....

Nice! I'm thinking on getting another Harbor freight work bench, and putting that one smackdab in the living room, behind a couch...so I can watch the news while I work.

...selling point: "yeah, but it'll make for a perfect height buffet table..."

We'll see, maybe after the new year...

Tree pruning before the snow turns to mud.

 

[pdempsey1097]

Got a deal on AA and AAA batteries on Groupon - 100 of each for right around $23.
That works out to .23 cents per cell - way lower than even Costco's price.

 

[Oathkeeper1775]

Made link up and disseminate information with 3 trusted "associates".

Coordinating Instructions for future training.
Signal Operating Instructions (BREVMAT)
Antenna Building; 292 for the GMRS band.
Programing Radios.

Also discussed a recall on SIG AR's; slam-fire fix on firing pin.

 

[HuckleberryFun]

Bought an Arktis B110 British SAS combat smock (aka "parka").
It's unlined (less sweating while running or humping a ruck), windproof, with lots of pockets to hold my Tier 1 (EDC) basic survival kit. Roomy enough to wear armor underneath, SAS style. I like the British DPM camo pattern, but I got it in Coyote Brown instead so as to be a slightly more gray "gray man".

B110 – COMBAT SMOCK

 

[Sgt Nambu]

That's cool, Fun! Thanks for the web address!

That would go well with the French Foreign Legion arctic fleece jacket's that I bought last year! One of them weighs about twice what a Columbia Sports Wear's best quality fleece jacket does.

 

[Camelfilter]

That smok seems nice, wondering if they might have it in black or a dark navy...we sorta like to avoid anything that's overtly tactical in dress...course I wear 5.11 pants, but can't really tell from a distance.

-picked up some snugpak sleeping bags off Amazon for Christmas & there simple bivies. Got the idea from on here -- thanks! Had allways known about snugpak, but they had allways been difficult to buy. Dang things pack up super small for a GHB, GO bag or just backpacking.

 

[pdempsey1097]

Picked up 2,600 rounds of 22LR from a member here for .06 cents/round. Not as cheap as a few years ago, but better than the panic pricing of a few months ago.

I am seeing some really good ammo deals on this board lately, and haven't bought ammo online or in store for 6+ months.

 

[HuckleberryFun]

More Moutain House. Always more Mountain House.

 

[Oathkeeper1775]

Rifle range; verify an SS109 load (good to go), programing radios, weapons cleaning/maintenance, record-keeping, and processing brass.

Addendum: Tired

 

[The Heretic]

Bought three pelican cases sized for bullpups/sbrs.

Amazon has some on sale - see ad in slickguns
