What have you done this week to prep?

[dmarsh8]

Just bought some Made in U.S.A. Danner boots.

 

[Scott26]

Bought a propane tank top heater. 40 hrs run time on low heat setting off a 20 lb tank

Been researching foods for for those with allergy's to egg/gluten/nuts etc. that have any real shelf life. Found some canned foods but very limited on what we can put in for the grand daughter. She may well have to exist on rice and that will be a serious struggle.

Just got a set of tire chains for the car kit. Ready now for snowpocalypse.

 

[churchmouse]

Put in a bit of the allergy foods for the G-daughter. There is a lot out there but darned expensive.

 

[Iroquois]

Loaded .38s ,will load more soon . Rotated cannned meats onto the regular pantry...time to restock. Turned the thermostat down. Area heating with electric heaters expensive but cheaper than $5.00 per gallon or more for propane.

I married Prepperchick. She does all my prepping for me.

 

[indychad]

Got my HAM ticket! Now to continue with the comms. prep.

 

[Cozy439]

Resupplied stock with 3 cases from Grabill Country Meats 1 Beef, 2 Chicken. Cant beat the flavor or cost.

My wife has discovered the convenience of canned meat….I may never get fresh meat again. The good thing is she is using last years canned goods while they're still good. Sometimes you just gotta trick people into a prepper attitude. She's also discovered Farrow, a soft wheat that can be cooked like rice and served with breakfast or dinner (as a pilaf or in soup). Great shelf life and portable. Not as convenient as ramen but lots more nutritious . Gets it at Cosco…

After much deliberation I have sold my Battery/inverter package to a good friend for his about to be finished cabin. It is completely off the grid and requires fording a creek to get to. It will be BOL listed for us.
I will be using these funds toward a Genny (dual fuel) large enough to run both the houses on the property. After building a few of those systems I have some ideas for a better one and along with a bigger clean power genny I will be setting it up in a secure area that will be sound deadened as well. Looking into solar for the roof of the building it will be housed in.

Much to do.

^^^^^^^Damn good plan right there^^^^^

 

[WETSU]

I worked out hard.

I sparred hard

I trained in the snow with the crew

I hit the range.

 

[OneShotFOGE]

Went to range with my Walther PPS. Bought a maglite flashlight. Pretty tame week really.

 

[churchmouse]

I have been formulating my back up energy project. Looking at some really nice dual fuel genny's 7.5 K and larger. Also looking at solar for the battery bank. This is going to be interesting.

I'm looking forward to learning from you on this one, CM. Good on you!

I have space in one of the sheds and it is centrally located between both of our houses. There is (or will be with some effort) room for a nice genny, several battery's and the inverters. I am wiring this up so either house can run on the genny or the batts. or both. Not worked out all the kinks on paper yet. Just need to get the right switch gear for the task.
The real fun will come when I get enough solar to keep the battery's topped off. Until then they will be on multi-circuit bass boat chargers.
The solar will be last as it is adding up to some serious expense.

There are so many good generators available right now. Decisions to be made.

 

[ATM]

Nothing

I think you've missed the spirit of the 50 quality posts rule.

Cap n Cork in FWA has Canadian Club on sale for the lowest price in a long time. Medicinal ethanol supply added to. Quality control testing done on rotated stock. It passed.
