    Yep. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step in fixing it.

    went to Aldis' and spent 225. on more cases of canned vegs which we don't really like(we prefer fresh or froozen) except to make a quick stew with our own canned potatos and beef. My wife will make another trip to a different Aldis' Fri and do the same thing. for about 6 dollars a case compared to our local super which is about 10 dollars a case, it's a good savings. Why do we buy them?, because we have some family members that are still in la la land and we can give the food to them or if the date is about to expire before we need it, it will go to the local pantry.

    built two more cages for does' and another cage for a new Buck, Palimino does and a New Zeland buck, rabbit stew anyone? yesterday the temp hit 46 and my bees were out having a blast, it looked like summer except for the 2 ft of snow around the hives.

    I renewed my lapsed membership to Sam's club and stocked up the pantry. Didn't put up enough veggies last year. Won't be long and we will be starting garden plants for the spring, will be putting in more green beans and sweet corn than we did last year.

    I got 55 lbs of whole wheat flour from my job...FREE! We carry the Bob's Red Mill line but for whatever reason we don't carry the organic whole wheat flour. The bosses gave it away to the employees, but noone on my shift wanted it but me, so I took it. Gonna have tasty bread and biscuits...........gotta get some coffee going......

    I stocked up my first aid kit a little better this week. I was at Walmart so I loaded up on butterfly bandages, bandaids, gauze,etc. It is stuff that don't weigh that much and you can stuff them right in your kit. I also got some Israeli wound dressings along with a bag of Celox.
    Take only what you need, and leave the rest.

    In the past year, I have been slowly collecting: pack, knives, fishing gear, gun, ammo, emergency first aid supplies, food stores, foraging guides and maps. Today, I am starting a complete inventory so that I can compare it against a list I am compiling of recommended gear.

    Try ProMag's web site. They have a stock that is more user-friendly, runs around $200.00.

    I'll look, but I probably won't modify it. Kind of like it the way it came, besides for something like that I doubt I would spend almost as much on a new stock as I did on the pistol.

    2 hour snow shoe hike followed with rifle and pistol practice. Started a fire and cooked lunch.

    I took a friend some deer meat and gave him a machete for his kit. He gave me a dozen fresh eggs and an invitation for spring turkey hunting.

    I am getting my hiking gear/trail pack ready for some good times tromping around the Adirondacks and the North Country. Now that I am back up near the base (Fort Drum) I can get some replacement gear that is in better condition than some of what I am using now.

    I ordered another 60 rounds of 30.06, a suture kit, and began stocking food.
