New month, new post...

- Bought 2 pair of water proof leather boots. Local store had a buy one, get the second pair for 50% off. Ended up saving about $100.00. Once both pair are broken in, one pair goes into the long term inventory.

- Rotated some toothpaste ( 4 tubes) that expired Feb. 2007 and somehow got missed. Tried the toothpaste this am and no difference compared to new so we will keep all the old and use it up.

- Local store has stewing beef on sale. Bought 7 lbs and will make some beef barley soup next weekend then can it all.

How is everyone else's prep coming along?

I just got my yearly two sets of Nomex coveralls from work along with new steel-toed boots.

I also bought more life insurance.

Hello Sherpadog,

I fixed up 18 gallons of water with a teaspoon of bleach each. I bought 200 Ft of real paracord. I need to learn some knots. While I was at the mil. surplus store I bought some black heavy leather gloves. Oh and I got some Berne insulated bibs for xmass.

Bought me a new pair of boots, and helped my mom and sister start the long term preperations I have trying to get them to do for years. I guess they were actualy listening to me, either that or got tired of it and just gave in. Either way as long as it gets done it's a good thing.

I socked alway some more cash for emergencies and inventoried all the stuff in my car.

New boots for my wife and I (the "boss" paid for them); got a Mule issued to us, equipped it with tools, ropes, etc; went thru both daypacks and refreshed the water in the bladders, munchies, etc. Installed charger for our GMRS radios in the new P/U and home on wheels...

I bought two different solar battery chargers, one is designed to be carried while hiking and charges AAA and AA batterys and the other is more for the house or say a base camp and charges AAA, AA, D, C and 9 volts found them on Ebay here's the link.

I also rotated gas and kerosene, checked the kerosene heater to make sure it was in good operating condition.

Stocked the freezer with meat and other frozen items, also added some rice, beans, barley, and other dry goods to the pantry.

How did you do it, I have been talking to a friend of mine ever since Jerico came on and have not made any real progress, the other day she did say she was thinking about it, thats something at least.

Replenishing my ammo stocks from the hunting/rec shooting season is on my list for the next while. I Re-loaded 300 rounds of .30-06(Barnes x triple shock) 500 rounds of .357 Mag(Hornady XPT JHP) 500 Rounds of .45 cal FMJ, and am currently reloading about 500 rounds of 00 buckshot. Besides food, water and stores of fuel, it never hurts to have a serviceable supply of quality ammunition on hand.

Wow, 500 rounds of 00 buck. The other stuff I could shoot up in a heartbeat, but that much buck would last me forever...
