I revise my old kit. I discard old items and add new stuff :
ropes, new fuel for my stove
add more bandages for first aid kit
buy more lithium batteries for flashlights

Great topic Supermark.... I might get tempted to get windy here.......
-Ordered two needed parts for my Coleman 400 stove (just tonight).
-Bought another desert sand boonie hat and another mil. folding shovel dedicated to truck.
-Received 2 Redflare emerg. bivvy sacks and 3 more emergency heat blankets.
-Bought my daughter (for Christmas) a new med. backpack with hydration (100oz), her own Doan flint/mag, a waterproof matchcase, and a Swiss Army knife.
-Cleaned up the old Coleman 2-burner stove.
-Swapped my old battery for new ni-cad battery from work for Streamlight Stinger (not my favorite but it's free - Govt issue)
-Froze another duck (last week actually... well, Sunday).
-Read about James Kim and other articles here. Read up on shelters at another site.
-Made plans for this weekend to take my wife and daughter to our land and gather/stockpile for storage mesquite firewood.
-Read this post and decided we too could use 10 or more jugs of drinking water to restock.
-Made decision (as you read this) to consider Benchmade Snody 14150 (black partially serrated) or Benchmade Nimravus 140BKSN.

Well, among other things this weekend I de-wormed my dog and gave him other routine care like grooming. After owning him for over six months I realize I value him even more. If TEOTWAWKI ever occurs, I keep finding how much more of an asset he will be to me.

Since I was cleaning out the back of the Jeep today to make room for carrying Christmas gifts to the grandkids next week I brought my GHB in and inventoried it along with repacking it. I added some extra food and a film cannister of dryer lint. Checked my flashlight and GPS and make sure I had new fresh batteries for them both. Checked my Bic lighter (still plenty of fluid and it works) made sure I have plenty of waterproof matches.
Then put it back in the Jeep right where it belongs.
