Has anyone here tried moving with all of their accumulated survival stuff? I know most stuff isn't that big, but it's still a pain in the butt to move. I know one of my new neighbors was wondering what in the world was moving in next to him when I used a hand truck to wheel in two 30 gal water barrels into our new house.
Speaking of hand trucks, I keep mine in the basement now, with 2 7 gal aquatainers stacked on it, a 50 cal ammo can on top of them, and then 2 BoBs on top of that. Everything is lashed down with cord or tie down straps. If need be, grab it and up the steps into my truck or her suv. It's not that cumbersome, even with both water jugs full. The handle of the trucks rests on the cargo area floor, and lift up from the base into the vehicle. It's a little harder for her, but not terribly so. Just thought I'd share.

Your wife can lift over 120 lbs into a vehicle?

Let me give you a good chunk of advice: DON'T MAKE HER MAD!

Believe me, I try not to! I lucked out when I found her. Her dad is a farmer in Nebraska. They had 4 kids, all girls. Everyone of them got their chance to learn how to load bales of hay or move sacks of feed.
