Helped my dad patch their roof.
Replaced most of the food in my stash.
Ordered more MALICE clips to replace the zipties on my BOB and ditch kit.


Need to do:
procure Tyvek sheeting for tarps
replace water filter

just an old sleeping bag someone gave me. trust me, wouldn't be worth the shipping cost. but if I plan on parting with something good i'll definitely let you know.

You can purchase online and have it shipped free to the store where you simply go and pick it up.

July is water supply rotation month around here.


I have also been practicing in-the-dark campfire fire starting skills for the past few nights, including gathering all the materials.

BTW, magnesium starters are difficult to use in the dark. I have read this on the board, but decided to confirm it anyway.

Hopefully by June/July I will be ready to practice the same skills at night in the rain....

-Added 2 pliers, 2 screwdrivers, a crowbar, 3 powerbars, 3 trash bags and some T.P. to my car's supplies.
-Just bought a new Fenix light (super exicted!!) Probably give my Surefire to my girlfriend for her car.
-Plan on stashing some cash for a rainy day.

I've been super busy lately, were putting out house up for sale so I've been packing and cleaning and painting. Haven't added to any of my food/water stocks at all over the last month since I am trying to lesson the amount that we will need to move.
Took an old 8.5x10 organizer than I used for a job where I had t have customers sign work orders and put all the maps in my truck in it to clean out my center console and printed some maps of local and state parks and added to it.
Bought a small axe and some matches to add to my firestarting category but can't find strike anywhere matches so they have to stay in the boxes.

Of course they could have the same batting average as last year's forecast (dead wrong!). I'm a little skeptical of this type of prediction. 13 - 17 tropical storms and 7 - 10 hurricanes seems to be pretty broad. How does that compare to the statistical data? I saw that they believe this forecast would have a 75% chance. I'l bet most years' actual storm data would fit into that range. If true, then how would this be more valuable than the average Farmer's Almanac?

* Split the free firewood I just brought home (I love Craigslist)
* Keep the garden weed-free
* clean up the garage
* rotate gasoline supplies

For July:

1) Locate & procure a large cargo net and anchors to secure backyard storage bulding irt hurricane season.
2) Keep adding to dry and canned food stores.
3) Purchase more ammo.
4) Inventory and fill gaps in DD2's and BF's BoB's.
5) Purchase 1 or 2 silver rounds.
6) Update Last Wills and Living Wills for family members.
7) Cleanup garage (CBR Shelter) and prep Communications area.
8) Procure 1" pvc piping to support anemometer.

June/July/August: Find a new place to live... one with land. Biggest prep ever.
