what did you do this week to prepare

**earth2res** · 07-20-2009, 03:19 PM

Today I cleaned out my hall closet and put 5 cases of water in it. I also put food in plastic tubs in the closet. I separated the food by expiration date, putting the stuff that would expire in 2012 in the back. Each box of food has 2 packages of TP and a package of salt in it too. I went grocery shopping and bought re-fried beans on sale for about .65 cents per can.

I am continuing to walk in our local park every day. It is very hilly and I am getting a good workout.

I don't know if it's the ammo, or just that my 10/22 doesn't like it, but the groups that I shoot with winchester's are almost twice the size of the groups that I shoot with the remingtons.

Peno... Wish you lived here I have a couple truck loads (or more) of locust and other wood some of it cut in fireplace length that just needs split and some logs that need cut into length. I have offered to give it to several people even offered to HELP CUT AND SPLIT AND LOAD IT but everybody says they'll take it if I finish the work and bring it to them. Not likely!!!

Well isn't that special? They want you to finish the work and bring it to them? Sad. Just finish the work and I'll come pick it up.

Finally able to go back to the gym.(this is gonna hurt)
Picked up more ammo, some dry goods, backup water filters.

I cut down a mesquite tree and left the stumps on some pallets to dry. I need to split these up still and its going to be alot of work. I also need to stock up some more canned food for this hurricane season and have fifo system of frinking water bottles.

Ha Ha! Frinking water bottle = Freaking drinking water bottles. Thanks for the chuckle, even though I know it wasn't intentional.

a local dunhams was moving across the road so the old store is holding a clearance sale. I found 2 2.5 gallon reliance water jugs with the spiggits in them for 10 dollars each. I was able to talk them down to 5 dollars for both.

**Lorna** · 07-24-2009, 09:26 PM

I purchased two compasses, an axe, two hobo utensils, bonoculars and a book on wild medicinal plants.

Built a firepit,then tried it out boiling water to clean chickens in,then decided it worked well enough to cook two of the chickens on after cleaning,cooked my whole supper on it actually,2 roasted chickens,fried green tomatoes,corn on the cob,and baby carrots,with roasted marshmallows for desert.
