Saw a couple of 10/22's at the same WalMart. Looked for reasonably priced .30 Carbine ammo- no luck. Practiced some knotcraft with paracord. Showed a buddy the way to wrap a bunch of paracord and not get it knotted up, encouraged a buddy to get his concealed carry permit for his home state. Added a couple of items to the grocery list for the pantry. Read some selected sections of the old "Bushcraft" book.
Checked out some maps of a local Wildlife Management area for potential hike routes and trout fishing locations and potential fall deer hunting locations.
Arranged pantry when I got home from trip, since a well-arranged pantry is an ongoing step to shelter-in-place food prepping.
Still saving money for that generator switch!
found 9mm for 9 bucks a box at wally world. shame you can only buy 6 boxes.
I havent seen any at my local wal-mart in a long time, good find.Quote:

Caught 2 decently sized rainbow trout this weekend, threw 'em on the bbq last night...Hope you all are drolling cus they were soooo yummy! :tongue_smilie:
Well, good for you!! Are those the first?
nope...2nd and 3rd....first that I kept though! And thanks!
Ran 100' of 1" (Very expensive) copper waterline from the well to the shop building site. Bought two glocks, and 1,750 rounds on ammo. Also bought four LED tactical rail lights, and one more green laser. Regretfully I have rediscovered how sore one is the day after, 13 hours of extreme manual labor.
So - no more hauling water from the creek? How deep do you need to put that water line to keep it from freezing/bursting?
12' Deep on the line depth + 2" of Dow Blue board. I'll haul water for at least another year (About). I have no pump installed. Man I am SORE today.Quote:

I also picked up a Coleman Evanston 6 tent. I got it to take the grandkids camping but also as a backup should we need to leave for any reason. The reviews were pretty good on it, it was a weather proof guarantee and Costco has them for $99.99. It's a bit of job putting it up and two people make the job easier but I was impressed with the size and the features. I did buy a tarp for it because it does not come with a footprint.
Also scored a #12 Lodge Dutch Oven on Craig's List for $25. I had to re-season it but, hey.
Sarge will be proud of me!
I got a copy of the SAS survival guide by Lofty Wiseman and Food for free a guide to UK edible wild plants by Richard Mabey. Bit by bit I'm adding to my preps.:)
Finished "Patriots" by Rawles and added to the Tactical lists.
Lucked up on a case of military 5.56 penetrator ammo and a case of military OO buck. (1000 rounds of 5.56 and 250 rounds of OO new issue.) $475.00 total cost
I ordered a Honda EU2000I generator and started studying for my HAM licence
There are two good things to do. Good for you!!
Last night in the CERT class I'm going through there was a communications section. After that, I'm leaning toward a handheld HAM radio.
Bought two lanterns at the coleman outlet store that were on clearance. Actually collected all the items I have for a BOB and realized I am in trouble:blushing: Somehow I always end up with a few too many knives in the mix. :)
Crash remind me at jamboree to show you my 2 meter ham mobile
Hey, hey, hey now. There'll be none of that kind of talk. Remember, Mrs. Crash is gonna be there and............wait..........what did you say?Quote:
