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.
Picked up 15 bricks of 22lr (gotta test the new Charger).
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 picked up another GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! winchester mod. 275 .22 mag its a pump
$100.00 I've already had to work on the trigger. Shooting it hurt my finger to
fire it. I used my trigger pulling thingie and it was off the scale! I've got it down to 6#
now so i can put the C-Clamp away now......................................
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. :D Gonna have tasty bread and biscuits...........gotta get some coffee going......
Purchased a new strikers
I plan on going to the store and getting some more water.
I have 250 left on the gun. I'm so excited:D Pics will come when I get her.
I want to go to the surplus store and do some shopping, I need some 550 cord, an E tool and whatever else cathes my eye.

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.
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.
Hey Crash, have you seen the stocks ProMag is making for the charger?Quote:

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.
Rotated my stock of MREs out with new ones
Bought a new knife sharpener and sharpened all my knives
Made two more 550 cord donuts
Buttered wife up to bless off on new gun purchases
I ordered another 60 rounds of 30.06, a suture kit, and began stocking food.
I've been gradually increasing my store of dry goods. Every week at the grocery store, I buy 1 extra of what I will actually use. I keep sharpies in the pantry to label date everything so that I can rotate stock.
I just went through my knives last night and set about repairing any chips or pits. I come across older jack-knives occasionaly, they make for great extra blades to carry out in the bush. Usually are missing the big blade, but half the time when I need a blade, it is for some fussy little job where I need a small (1" or 2") blade. Garage sales and second hand junk shops are great for those junk blades. I pay a buck at the most, and if I get a couple of good uses out of it I am happy. Recycling at its best!!
went to the mall with my friends. I got a LED crank lantern, it has a radio, alarm, several settings for the light. I picked up the gun, she is a beaut. I got 300 rounds of ammo for her, ordered 2 mags from cabelas. I got some IV supplies and added them to my first aid kit. I got some triangular bandages and put them into my kit. I got a magnesium fire starter.
I am thinking of trading my marlin model 60 for a remington 597. I like the magazines and my dad has one and has said nothing but good things about it, I figure I could get 80 bucks for it and put that toward a 597. I am not a big fan of the 10/22, just personal preference.

Finally took my gun safety class so I can apply for my CCW. Jeesh, that was too easy. I should have done it years ago!
We replaced handles on all the garden implements and axes. I bought 6 rubbermaid
18 gallon container totes, with lock tight lids for 5 bucks each. I found 64oz of lamp oil
for $4.00 and bought 4 bottles. All the above for less than 75.00.
great week!
Yesterday while working in a neighborhood somebody had a large pile of what some would call trash (I call stuff I might be able to use) by the curb. Found 4 large (10" high, 6" diameter) candles and a rusted propane cylinder (20 lb). Put the candles in my wax stash and exchanged the cylinder for a refurbished one for about the price of a propane fill.
I picked up a Springfield SOCOM II and 300 rounds of ammo. :rambo:
The SOCOM II is on my wish list. A bit spendy though - gotta save my nickles.
Finished my PSK tin.
Buying some stuff for my BOB
Getting some extra 20 ga. for my mossie
And starting to store up some food in 5 gallon buckets.
Crash, I'll have to tell you how that came to be.:)
Finally picked up a canteen cup and cup stove.
Started work on my computer certifications so maybe I can get a job to buy some supplies. Is sad that we have to have pieces of paper that tell people we know what we know, why can't people just quiz you at the interview (this has happened twice to me)...
- bought 500rds of .45
- added some beans, rice and water to the stash
- went practice shooting with some like minded folks.
- added some candles from the local thrift stores to the stash as well
I temp hired an out of work neighbor for a month. There seems to be a surplus of projects.
Today I made 7 pies to spread around the hood. I'm not looking forward to the clean-up.
Were any of those apple or pecan pies? I work for food.
Tried out a 2-stick fireboard instead of the standard hearth.Drilled right thru with no coal only dust.

Sighted in my newest addition, a Browning .270 Win. Love at first shot. Beautiful tight little three round group at 100 yards. Two out of three holes were touching.
Bought a new H&K fixed blade knife. Just the right size and weight for my purposes.
Went to three different Walgreens stores taking advantage of some clearance sale stuff. Picked up Arnica gel for $3, Hydrocortizone cream for $.87 a tube, hand sanitizer for $.50, and bandaids (can't recall how much).
Finished reading The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz. Excellent book. It's about a group of men escaping a Russian prison in northern Siberia and covering thousands of miles to get to freedom. I hate to borrow from book jackets, but it really was riveting. Highly recommended.
Started putting together a new hiking survival kit starting with a cookie tin that I picked up at Walgreens. Pics will follow when it's complete.
1. Planned out shade garden, trying to maximize use of my shaded lot. Bought some seeds
2. made an alcohol burner and a multi fuel stove. Works ok but aluminum can is to thin.
3. finished the design for under deck hide storage.
4. Shopping at REI for BOB odds and ends.
5. Antiquing. picked up a saw sharpening vice, 3 small leg traps, 3 round tins for stove experiments $28 not bad.
