    We bought one (may not be Ziplock) but that dang thing didn't suck. So it sucked cause it didn't suck. It couldn't form a seal on the bag for some reason. I was quite surprised that it could actually fly for a short distance......once.

    There is one trick that I've learned - if what I am storing has a lot of liquid then I will toss them in the freezer for a bit to solidify the liquids. That pump will not work with a high liquid content in the bag.

    Nice thread
    Purchased 50 more rounds for my .40 S&w. Got a gerber sharpner for my mora clipper and attached it to my gobspark armagedon firesteel lanyard. Also found a army book on edible plants.
    Plus was able to find some allergy friendly snacks for my girlfriend's pack at a local rei. Also my local grocery store had sales going on for protein bars and enrgy bars for less than a dollar.

    I hope you did well.

    I will never forget taking the LSAT. I had two herniated disks, the flu and no pain medication.

    This week I bought and broke in a new shooter, repaired an old shooter and refinished some furnature to spruce up the retreat.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Bought some more 5 gallon buckets with Gama Seal lids. Now I'm thinkin 2 years worth of food would be better!

    How on earth will you store and rotate 2 years worth of food? I have no place (or desire) to store 1 year's worth.

    Some food lasts up to 20 years when stored properly Rick, and I have lots of room. I only rotate foods that last 2 years or less, and by the way. A couple of months after SHTF I will call you to see how your doing!

    Reloaded another lot of 12g cartridges. The girlfriend bought me a maxpedition pack thing as I’m working on an EDC kit.

    Wow, you guys have two years of food put away!

    Not me. About 6 months for the whole family. I'd have to buy another house or 2 for two years worth of food.

    I scouted a new trout stream for good looking holes.

    I learned to remove and preserve beaver castor for bait.

    I tried raw deer heart and t-loin to see how it was and see how my gut handled it.

    I taught the figure 4 trap as well as the greased string dead fall.

    I soaked a hide in preps for brain tanning it.

    So, how did that go?

    I actually REALLY liked raw deer heart (once washed and cooled.) It was like really good sushi, and I love sushi. The raw t-loin was okay. It was not gross or bad tasting. Nor was it good tasting. It was just middle of the road. Perfectly palatable but not finger lick'n.
