[oldsoldier]

found some of those "auto YoYo" automatic fishing reels on sale had a couple several years ago that worked fair lost em in a move at some time so I ordered some more. Bought another 300 rounds of .223 ( federal ammo $41.00 per 100 at wally world) got all they had left saturday.

[Rick]

So you're the guy!!! Quit buying up all the ammo. Leave some for me, dang it.

I read instructive articles on the Wilderness Survival main-page. Very good information!
Thanks for sharing it.

After reading around on this forum for the past few days. I put together a BOB. Turns out I already had most of the stuff lying around the house. It is still incomplete on the basics though so I will have to go shopping tomorrow.

15 survival turkeys coming this week, Broad Breasted Bronze. The toms should go 45 pounds with 6 foot wingspread in 22 weeks.

Are you gonna' put a TOM in your BOB?

[crashdive123]

Two in the deuce and a half, one in the dozer.

[Rick]

Careful now. If they learn to drive things could get ugly around Thanksgiving. And the duece might start showing up in the big city on Friday nights. You know how turkeys like to hang out in bars. We've all seen them!

Rick..... Getting it all for all the wolfpack. Just signed papers on 75 SECLUDED acres in the smokies about an hour from Cherokee. Has a stream/creek on it all wooded except about 4 acres. 3-4 good hillsides/bluffs great for possible building into. When TSHTF everybody (Most anyway) You,Ken, anyone else in our "crew" within range can bug out to. First construction will be ( hopefully) about 2000 sf in one of the bluffs as soon as I can swing it after closing begins. Will be accepting volenteer help. ( I'll provide the Steaks,and the beer)

[Rick]

Oooooh. A week-end getaway. Nice. First, Hopeak's place and now this.

So how do I explain to my Sweetheart that our renovations are gonna' be delayed?

Today I added to my stock:

TP - 2 12pk double rolls
5 lbs Rice
5 lbs beans
1 box of dry milk
1 large box of baking soda
1 box of cornstarch
5 boxes of tea (I love my tea)
1 bottle of multivitamins
1 gallon of bleach
14 lbs dry dog food

I also filled up 5 empty gallon jugs with water and tried yet again to convince my mom to stock up....and failed.

Apparently, either everyone is starting to stock up in my town or they are not replenishing the shelves like they normally do because there where several things out of stock at the Dollar General and Walmart.

By the way, I really like this thread because it is a good way to stay proactive...at least for me it is

Woman, you need a bigger dog.

[Naturegal]

Woman, you need a bigger dog.

lol, yeah mine is a shihtzu, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in attitude. He has chased large dogs out of the yard many times.
I would love to have an alaskan husky as well, but current circumstances do not permit it.

[crashdive123]

lol, yeah mine is a shihtzu

Gazundheit....

[Naturegal]

Gazundheit....
