Last week -- loaded 50 rounder #0 buckshot for my cousin since he wanted to practice more with his shotgun and he's somewhat financially strapped for cash.
This week and weekend - removed some expired topical antiseptic and old wound dressings in my home medical kit. Wrote down the different SW transmission I tuned in. Now at least I have a idea where to dial for a specific info. |

Re-organized my bug out bag. (2004 GMC EXT CAB 4X4)
Removed all unboxed ammo from my closet to garage for later sorting into labeled .50 cal. ammo cans. Took M1A and AK to firing range for practice. |

Earlier in the week I bought a magpul single point sling and adapter for my AR. Bought an Zastava M70 and 1000 rounds of 7.62x39. Well I did that last week, ammo delivered yesterday. Today bought some ammo cans and 3 backpacks for BOBs today (one for me, one for the wife, one for my 9 year old son) in the process of purchasing stuff for the BOBs right now. We are in the process of moving so I figured now would be a good time to go through the duffel bag we were using as a BOB and break it up into smaller bags and use the duffel for a more severe/longer lasting survival scenario. This thread is actually distracting me from BOB research.

Got some 3400 mAh 18650s, some LiFePO4 123s and some floody EagTac lights. Also got 400 rnds of .40 but half of that was wasted at the range a week ago and the other half will be thrown at steel gongs tomorrow

On a more serious note, I was able to test my evac plan from work today. My partner and I work in the same building but not near each other. We had preselected two rally points (somewhat close together) to meet in the event of a building evacuation. So today at about 11:15 the fire alarm goes off. I assume it's a drill. But I jump up from my desk (on the 4th floor of a 4 story office building) and verify I have my keys in my pocket and rush to the staircase. I notice the floor wardens in their bright yellow vests are not there to usher people out of the building, that means this is not a drill. I get outside and go to the designated meeting place. To my surprise that's the same area where EVERYONE from my building is being corralled. So my meeting spot is compromised. I get a text, my partner is about 100 feet away through a crowd of people and I'm short so I can't see over the crowd of tall guys. So we met up and then took a walk and found two spots that make much better meeting locations and no one was being corralled nearby. It was a good lesson learned. BTW, the fire alarm went off because of a small kitchen fire and the building was only evacuated for about 20 minutes.

Converting all the small engines to a uniform parts kit, it's a PITA but one of the chainsaws went down over a fuel line failure in - a pinch, it's useless. Now everything will have only two sizes of fuel lines, one fuel filter, etc... with a ready supply on hand.
Drop by next week and pickup some more military fiberglass radio poles for some trellis work

I am in the military.. seeing that right now my more immediate and practical threat is a potential stop-pay with the upcoming federal budget battle (and probable delay in a continuing resolution), I beefed up our little emergency fund to cover a full month's worth of expenses. That way, if I don't get paid for a month, I can still put food on my family's table and not be too terribly phased by it.
I should have done this earlier, given that this is now a regular occurrence... but it is better late than never. |

Actually 200 rolls is not massive for a family of 4. At .20 cents a roll we are looking at $10 per individual, about the same as (1) box of primers @ $40. And I have primers coming out my arse.

Right, I just mean I noticed my wife when she does the shopping can let it get down to only a couple rolls left. I want a cabinet full probably 500 rolls or more just as a stash for an eq/disaster scenario, much less TEOTWAWKI.

you need to learn to make your own TP :P
j/k - I had never thought about this as an issue, not I have two of the costco bulk packs store in the garage. Now I just have to figure out where the bathroom will be. |

I'd start using pool water for my toilets. If the sewage backs up then I have a nice area on the side of the house that would be designated for a poopoo trench.
