What have you done this week to prep?

[Car Ramrod]

Those are HUGE jars! Do you have a pressure cooker big enough? BTW, welcome to INGO!

I was thinking the same thing. Where do you even get a 30 gallon jar?

I figured out that Duck Tape is not really that helpful at putting Pantyhose on a Chicken...

This is a visual I could have gone all night without.

Today I got some ammo, 2 small bow saw's, they came with 2 blades. One is for friend. Just picking up a few items a week.

That's pretty much what we all do, do what you can when you can! Welcome to INGO!

Received my order from Emergency Essentials - Samari Survival Tool, Tube Tent, 100 Emergency Candle yesterday.
Replaced the shocks (struts) in my truckbed toolbox.

After having to throw out several pounds of noodles due to a moth infestation, we bought sealed glass canisters to store noodles in.

I increased my water storage capability by another 100 gallons this week, as well as buying some more ammo and some more dehydrated food to put in the storeroom.

Did my every-other day workouts, as usual; continuing to get in better shape for when it hits.

Also bought a used ALICE pack for 45 bucks to make into another BOB. Couldn't really pass up that price.

Next week I will be looking into getting a new carry/combat knife or two.

I found about 100 1 gallon jars with lids on craigslist last year that we've used to battle the grain moths. A good trick is to freeze your goods for about 4-5 days or microwave them for about 30-40 seconds before storing them in the glass. This will kill any unhatched eggs that come with the stuff.

I've been kind of lazy this week with the weather but I did read a lot of this thread over and stole a few ideas from others here.
I'll call it research.

I went through both the med kits in the vehicles. Went through my car bag and organized it with some revisions. Put the new ruger 10-22 TD next to the car bag in the trunk. I'm going to be buying a new carry bag for it because I don't really need that huge bag it comes with.

Try looking into a pool cue case? They are small and may be large enough to hold the 10/22. The only problem may be the butt end.

I am trying to give up soda, today is my first day of cutting it down. I know it sounds silly but I have been known to drink 10 to 15 sodas a day. So today is all H2O.

I did that, I wasn't even really trying to, it just sort of happened. The funny thing is that it was right after a 3 round bout with kidney stones. Like I said, I didn't even consciously do it. I think it was just my body and my mind doing what they knew was right? Completely subconscious. Now if the wife would just pass a few stones our house would be pop free. Now I drink a lot of water with lemon juice...or rather lemon juice with a little water...

Adding a second video system, this will extend the camera view to cover my spare garage/workshop and surrounding area. A buried ethernet cable connects it to my home network so I can view all the new cameras from any computer screen, my iPhone, iPad, etc. Some of the cameras on the garage/workshop will overlap with some of my main system cameras giving me better coverage.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not watching you...

Edit...Wanted to plant the garden yesterday but those wiser than use said rain was eminent. Very frustrated when the sun came out and nothing was done. Today daughter and I put in about 25% of the main plot.
Who ever said this was fun, easy and cheap..................WOW

 

[greghvac]

got some more ammo

Took my Dexterity Test today. (Ok, so it's required for the job every two years) I get to pull a 125# bag of weights over a rubber mat for about 50 feet, backwards, walk up & down the bus steps 3 times, move foot from accelerator to brake 10 times, hold down the brake pedal for a count of 3 three times, open & close the bus door three times, sit in the driver's seat with the seat belt on and on cue - unfasten the seatbelt, get up and move quickly to the back of the bus, open the door, sit down, and slide out. (That part always gets a chuckle out of me - I guess we are supposed to abandon the bus & leave the "kids" on it.) Then, I drive around the lot and on cue - turn on the head lights, then turn them off, then the fan without looking at the switches.

It was SOOO hard! Have you ever heard of anything so DUMB?
