what did you do this week to prepare

[Ken]

I said I would get some bag balm and did.

Because our resident guru, Nativedude, recommended it, right?

[Ken]

Also picked up a .22 so the wife can learn to shoot. P22.

Got one myself. It's a fun little plinking gun. She'll enjoy it, unless you're like Rick and actually bought it for yourself.

Yeah, I'm hoping someone gets head lice so I can slather it in their hair. Unfortunately I keepy hair trimmed to short to invite such infestations myself.

I went to buy the SIG mosquito and the guys behind the counter recommended the Walther over the SIG. Then it comes to find out that the P22 has a little kick to it for a .22.

I got a box of CCI mini mags. I read those shoot well in that gun. What do you shoot and do you know a good place to biy a brick of ammo for this gun?

[Rick]

Very nice. Nice little knife and looks like a good job on the machete mod. I don't own the P22 but Wally World around here has had .22 and .22 mag in stock for a while.

What the cable thingy? Spear head for fishing?

[Ken]

I've put most imaginable .22 rounds through it. It's a bit sluggish with the CCI CB Sub-Sonic shorts. Like Rick said, Wally World kills all the rest for lowest prices. 5,000 round boxes - I think it's still a max of 5 boxes per purchase.

My P22 only likes Remington. The fobus holster works great, the set-up is so light that you hardly know it's there.

I am preparing to prepare since I am a beginner at this stuff. I am kind of frugal, though. I like to keep clothes until my mom makes me get rid of them due to holes or stains, buy the cheapest stuff, etc. So I've got a decent amount of cash in case I need it in the future. Oh! And I almost always keep small change in my little recycled cricket food jar. (My pet gecko eats crickets) It adds up! I have like, $20 in there that I could've just discarded!

[Tripwire]

Recycled more lead

405 grains at a time

Then I used bees wax, lard, and oil to make them slippery.

Now Im going to stuff them a top a little brass canister

I worked in my garden this morning. The weather is getting warmer and it's time to get growing again! I have one of those survival seed bank kits you keep hearing about in the news, and I'll tell you, the seeds work! They grow! I've grown organically with heirloom seeds for quite few years, and the truth is, you can't go wrong with these seed banks. It's the best way to get the most bang for your buck.

[Rick]

I fear I'm turning into a horder of stoves. Yeah, it has become a sickness. Just ask my wife.

This week I picked up a Coleman 3 burner for $13.70. Seriously. Off of eBay. Shipping was about double that. But I finally got my 3 burner. It's in pretty decent shape, too. I am rebuilding it because I want it all purty. But it's a good one and works.

Here's the sick stuff. I also picked up a Coleman 530 and a Coleman 523. The 523 arrived today. I'm like a kid at Christmas. This thing is cherry. The 530 should arrive next week. I have 3 two burners, a Coleman Marine Corps complete Duel Fuel new in the box and a Coleman M1950 new in the box.

I need an intervention.

There's hope, though. I have a military lantern coming this week. Don't tell my wife, though.

Rick's cooking at the next jamboree.

It was made by Coleman. Mine is stamped 1980....I think. I'll look again tomorrow. 7 inches tall. 4 inches across folded up.

I wish that I would have known that you are a stove junkie, I just sold an old one early last summer in a yard sale.
Need a lot of work though.
I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Pressing on with leather work, finished one holster, and making a form now for wet forming round ball bags.
A Mosin Nagant 91/30 followed me home this week, got sale price....not into stoves, but I also have a problem.......I feel your pain, Rick.

Spent this afternoon cleaning out a gun cabinet just for muzzle-loader stuff. Found a game buchering kit the DW gave me for a gift maybe 20 years ago.....forgot I even had it.

Yesterday was 60 degrees, today been snowing.....It's not fair!

Nope that's a Muzzy bone crusher gator harpoon.

I don't harpoon gators much because it causes them to fight hard. I use a rod and reel and then grab them by the tail or hind leg and drag them up. You'll think I'm crazy. But, they don't really put up much of a fight when you do it like I said. You hit em with a harpoon and they run like the devil.

People think we are crazy. But, if they are pointed at you snare them with your gator getting snare. If they are pointed away jump in and grab them and drag them up. Then either snare their neck or mouth or just jump them.

Its not about being a bad arse. Its about getting the job done and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. You hunt gators with me and you'll agree with me on this. I promise. LOL

I do extend the invite to any on this forum that want to hunt gators. I just ask that you return the invite for game in you area.

[oldsoldier]

Recieved the SAM splints and the emergency dental kit I ordered. Added another 1,000 rounds of .22 ammo, 2 eye glass repair kits and 2 #10 cans of MH dehyds.

[Rick]

Batch, I don't think you're crazy. Anyone that intentionally jumps on a gator, well, there's no reason to think. You've pretty much proved that one your own. No offense (I don't like to offend crazy people.)

You hunt gators with me and you'll agree with me on this. I promise.

That's such an easy promise to keep because you know I'll NEVER hunt gators...with you or anyone else. Let me repeat that in case I wasn't clear...NEVER!!

[TucsonMax]

Built shed and floor to store gas, propane etc. Visited Honeyville Grains store near Phoenix and loaded-up.

[Camp10]

Picked up a fork,knife,spoon utensil set at the gun show to add to the BOB.

[Trabitha]

Obtained a pre-qualification letter and a wonderful layout of a new generational home in the country. Woooo! Can't wait to get out from under this house!! While I love it, it's just too much room and no real room for a big garden or fruit trees. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

Oh...hubby's job is on a hiring freeze and we've waited for more than 6 months. Guess we're stuck with our current job and in PA...no Indiana for us. Oh well...

[TucsonMax]

Planted 16 varieties of vegetables (seeds) w/ kids.

[oldsoldier]

Haven't done much last couple of weeks. just getting over a major kidney infection. Never want to do that again. I think getting shot felt better. spent most of last week in bed. Feeling better now and plan on going back to work wensday. Anyway as to preps. I added 4 #10 cans of mountian house dehyds. 500 rounds of .22 ammo, and a vodoo tactical mollie platform FAK pouch on a leg drop platform.
