Nice score. It's about time you show up, girl.
I know,I know,just putting in extra hours at work,been some long,long days,all these little idjits are quitting without having other jobs lined up in a county with 49% unemployment thinking they can start work tomorrow anywhere they want.
Went to another garage sale. Got 2 Coleman propane lanterns for $5. Handful of bits for my brace for $2. A Zebco Micro fishing reel for the bob for $3. And a brass and iron 24Lb hardware scale made in 1889 for $1.50. It appears with the economy like it is that folks are selling everything they aren't using everyday.
You, sir, are despicable! (Nice score!)
Nice haul. You can't find any spare tactical gear here to save your butt.Quote:

Figured I had better grab it while I could.Quote:

I got to Walmart yesterday and there was already a line in the ammo section :(
Added to my day trip belt:
Muscle relaxers
Benadryl
anti-diarrhea / diarrhea
aspirin
Cheap wal-mart whistle/compass/magnifying glass/thermometer combo
Replaced my mini Mag Lite with a Mag Lite Solitaire.
Found a cheap folder knife at a gas station for 79 cents. Decided why not.
Picked up a map of South Cherokee National Forest to plan a three day trip in early May. I'm trying to get my time in before the tourists show up.
Attention people. Wal-Mart no longer stocks ammo. Sorry. They've had such a tough time stocking it that they called it quits. Go on home. Nothing here to see.
(grabs jacket and heads out the door to Wal-Mart)
Got about 20 sugar sachets for hot drinks when out in the wild.
I finally broke down and bought a generator this afternoon. I found a two year old Coleman Powermate 5000 watt unit with a 10 hp Briggs and Stratton. I found it on Craig's List. I was even able to talk the guy down a bit. Yes, it runs and yes the outlets read correctly. (except that one 9000 Volt outlet has me a bit perplexed).
This may help:Quote:

I ordered a few things, 3 spare mags for the 9mm. Shell belt for the Mossberg. Just a few necessities. Shopped for more ammo, but getting scarse....
Hey! Why don't you head over to the Introductions Section and prepare to write a little about you so we can get to know you better. Just the necessities - the info we have now IS kinda' scarce........Quote:

Managed to put 14 lbs of brown sugar and 14 lbs of powdered sugar in a single 5 gal. bucket. Happy Easter all.
Picked up two 4500 generators yesterday & a transfer switch for just under £1000:).Also last week we bought a VW LT28 (1982 model) its fully kitted out with cooker,fridge beds etc & runs like a dream.
Thankfully my better half doesn't think im nuts with all this be prepared stuff, she supports me totally & is always coming home with a few extra tins of stuff for the stash & medicines that can last.
I brought my old trusry bow back home and begun training for shooting.
We can't get that model here in the states unless you just happen to find one that's been imported. Those are nice. I've had my mind on something along those lines. Good score all the way around.
I got the garden started. Planted onions, garlic, peas, and spinach. Plan on putting in some beets, potatoes, and lettuce this coming week. I also started my tomato plants indoors, and lots of other plants that are too many to mention. I checked with my local code enforcement officer and the town that I live in does not have an ordinance against poultry, so I have 30 cornish broilers coming the end of the month. I have to get their housing set up soon. My fiance' just rolled her eyes and shook her head when I asked her about doing this and said "just don't expect me to feed them." I knew she was the right girl for me!

And, hold on to your hat for this one, a Shakespeare Spider Man spin caster for $1.99. I'll have to hang on to it for a day or two just to play with it (Hey, I like Spider Man, too!) then I'll give it to my oldest grandson.
I've never tried to fry a turkey with mine but does a real fine job boiling crawfish or frying fish for get togethers. My mom borrows it every year when canning. She don't like a pressure cooker in the house. Would rather be outside when canning.
shhhhhh tennecedar, you're making me HUNGRY! I haven't had a decent crawdad boil since I moved up here.
Bet the poor kid never sees itQuote:

That's like "Spider Man. The Bad Years".
Gosh! Do you smell something. Pee U!
Found some deals this week, picked up two new 24 round shotgun shell belts for $5.00, going back for more if I get the chance before they run out. Also picked up another speedloader for the .44 mag, tent pegs, water proof (resistant?) matches, lightsticks, small container of bug repellant, and a 250ft roll of black nylon twine (it ain't paracord, but for lighter tasks). Can't wait until Sunday, going to the gun show....
My neighbor lost he house to all of this , so I stopped to say good by and he gave me a generator ( still in the box ) , a 10" miter saw , 20 lb. bow of 16 pen. nails and I don't know what all.. I have been thinking that Nails and plywood are all good things to have on my list , right there with food and water you can do a lot with them . But like ammo right now , when we need it may not be able to get it ..
I performance tested an iceage lamp set to see how it would burn lard.it worked great. to see my live video of the stove in use,just click onto the link in my signature and view the video; iceage lamp/stove
Picked up a Mossberg 500, It's the 12ga black home defense model. 6 shot, heat shield, synthetic stock and forend. Its nice. I put my 5 shell holder on the stock and it is a beaut. sunday I will go to the range with her.
I'd like to see some pics. I've been looking at the Mossberg 590A1 series. You might like the looks of this one. It's called the Mossberg Tactical. I've never seen one in the States. This one is from Denmark.
If you posts pics you can post them in the gun forum.

I have a 500 - good shotgun. Is the Mossberg 590A1 legal in the U.S.? Barrel length?
Moved up my three day trip to this Sunday through Tuesday.
Practiced my at home bug out routine. I was using my new internal frame pack, it's so new it hasn't seen the woods yet. Ten minutes is nice from nothing packed, But I want it back down to three.
Now I have to wait for work to finish my bug out scenario. The scenario is society falls apart, the usual rioting, looting, whatever occurs that I want no part of. But it happens as I'm leaving work at 7 am. Since I have never been to Cherokee National Forest, it's a perfect chance to run off to an unknown area, to see how well I hold up for three days.
After checking the extended weather report they're calling for thunder showers. for those three days. At least the bears will leave me alone.
I have a 500 as well. Plain ole black, pump, 12ga - nothing fancy. Stopped at a yard sale today on the way home from work. Picked up a 20lb propane bottle for $3.......and it was full!
Very good score. I noticed the other day a new blue rhino brand tank is $60 without a trade in.Quote:
