Bought my first headlight, as an addition to my flashlights.

Love the headlights -- and can't wait to get a few LED models.

Did you ever get the cargo net? If not you might try the local Forest Service. The nets they use to haul cargo on fires are replaced regulary, Most of the time they are throwen away because nobody wants them. give it a try

Re the cargo net, if nothing else just do a google search for surplus cargo net, you will find a lot of them. Here is just one...

Debating running down to the A-N store. MRE cases, $50 right now.

Be sure to check the date...

* Added 500 rounds of various ammo
* replaced batteries in several flashlights
* plan to rotate gasoline supplies (30gal)

Got car kits started for both family vehicles. My wife works in Dallas, got her a solid 3 days worth of stuff--water, Mainstay bars, ponchos, tarp, paracord, etc.--all packed in an unused 5-gallon pail (even slopped a little paint on the outside before cinching it down in the back of her little SUV). Same thing for our big SUV, just more of it.

Add the following to the stockpile

5 gal of gas
20 lbs of Propane
100 rounds of .40 & .45ACP


Make 10 lbs of jerky
Make repairs to ATV

Work on putting an emergency plan together. Evac routes, bug out locations, contact info, local maps, etc.

Go through kits and make sure nothing has leaked or expired.
