I bought a Hennessy Hammock (Explorer Deluxe A-SYM) and Hennessy Supershelter Insulation 4 Season System (Overcover, Undercover and Underpad) for my BOB. Said goodbye to my 7 lb. 3 season tent and donated it to GoodWill.

Edited to add link.

Worked on fitness, did a unplanned test of my BOB,* updating my paper contact list (phone numbers), charged a searchlight, relaized I am way short on AA batteries, & repacked my EDC to be smaller and lighter.

( *See other post.)

I am a few days late on the 6 month water rotation. Time to get busy.

basically? Not much to nothing. I spent the last month taking taking care of Mom and Dad, and the last 9 days dealing with Mom's passing away and estate issues. Puts a damper on doing prep work

Sorry to hear about your mom. Been there, done that, it is not a fun time...

Like OBG said.

thanks guys

- Bought 40 X 710 ml (24 oz) bottles of powerade @ .50 each which is a steal in my area. Although the best before date is April 2008, it lasts much longer then this. Just finished the last rotation this week which expired in Feburary with no side effects or taste differences.

- Bought another case (24 count) of water. Now have 11 gallons of bottled water on hand. Total drinking water on hand: 23 gallons.

- Bought 24 more rolls of TP. We now have 112 rolls on hand, the overall goal is 150 rolls not counting the packages already in use in the bathrooms.

- Cleaned out, sanitized and refilled kids pool (200 gallons). Good backup supply for non-drinking water.

- Added a small fishing kit to the BOB.

- Restocked the EDC after using several items over the weekend while out canoeing/hiking.

Still need to hit Sam's Club to restock some food supplies
