Put up 5 gals of water in bottles (inside a large cooler)
Didn't use any bleach, as an experient, to see how long the water will last.

I've never used bleach for stored water. But I store my water in darkness (fruit room, back of cabinets, etc), and algae usually won't grow in complete darkness.

Bought another firesteel and am working on assembling a survival kit in a Nalgene bottle.

Just checked the contents in one vehicle kit and replaced outdated meds & batteries; need to check the other soon.

I am paying off most of my credit card debt!!! Woo hoo, freedom! Speaking of which, I love the Chase "Freedom Card" commercials. Quite the contrary. Should be called the Slavery Card.

I also bought a new lockable storage chest for my vehicle kit. Everything fits nicely into it.

Since it's a new month...within the past month, I've ordered a bag to experiment with to make a small BOB out of, ordered a clearance Spec Ops THE Pack for a full size BOB (sweet deal!), got some more paracord, and ordered battery holders that will go in BOBs.

I got a FAK/Emergency bag contents list from the child development center two of my kiddos go to...to suggest a few things.

I also discovered that certain kinds of canned chili really upset my stomach!
