What did I do this week to prepare? I bought a brand new Ruger 1022 and a box of 500 rounds to add to my bug out bag.
Good deal Minuteman. How about shooting over to the introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.
Fun reading this thread... nothing too exciting for me to write but here goes...
I reworked a few of my survival kits, smaller one that goes in my computer bag with me to work (now it is a self-contained kit so I can move it from bag to bag), second is my Jeep kit (added a folding shovel, a thermolite survival bivy, & a 0* mummy bag). I'm also accumulating additional items to rework my BOB/96hr bags.
Bought a few more bricks of .22 ammo & a box of .40S&W pistol ammo and picked up 4 sets of insultating underware (Merino Wool & Synthetic Duofold), my local PX (Ft. Leavenworth) had them on sale for $6.96 each piece! (everywhere else was $20-$40+ each piece).
Yesterday I helped a friend decide & buy his first firearms purchases... 1)a KelTec P3AT & 2)a Walther P99 9mm. After the New Years I'll help teach him to ppistol shoot & when he's comfortable shooting he'll sign up for a CCW class.
Lastly, I'm getting ready for a cross-country drive to visit my elderly parents... I'll leave Christmas Eve or Christmas morning for Eastern Pennsylvania. After a few days there I'll drive down the East Coast & loop back to Missouri, just 8-9 days of exploring. No set plans, just a little adventure until January 4th.

This weekend I attempted to build this survivaal kit:
http://www.m4040.com/Survival/Survival%20Kit.htm
I'm still a few items shy. I need the filter straw and the small baking pan. Not even Wally-World has a pan that small!!! I guess I need to EvilBay it.
ClovisMan - a canteen cup works pretty good for the kit M40 has described. I made one that way. It is a bit larger than the pan, so I have it in a pouch that goes on my belt rather than attached to my kukri
this week i am finally gonna start putting together my bail out bag. so far ive got a mini flashlight with extra batteries, bic lighter and fire steel, a compass, a small first aid kit, and some water purifier. i still wanna get some local maps and few other miscellaneous items.
Acquired quite a few packs of TP for storage, along with garbage bags.
Bear Clan
I was born with nothing,
with hard work and deligence I still have most of it
this week a lot less...must be a hole in my pocket
Another gun show in town the weekedn after Christmas. Time to make my wish list.
yup same here. i wanna get some some ammo for my handguns and rifle.
Well I completed my survival "tin" made a few of those 10 cent knives, unpacked and took inventory of my Jeep kit and replenished a few items that were used last time out, went to REI and looked at packs and sleeping bags to purchase. Didn't buy yet but getting ideas. Currently working on my wifes survival kits and creating a list of things to buy for our upcoming hiking trips this summer.
Alaska to Florida, for how long, who knows...
I went to the Base Exchange today and bought a new "Leatherman".
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Tell them Kevin sent you!!
You were on base and didn't come see me... I'm hurt. LOL

Sorry to temporarily hijack this thread...
What base are you two referring to?
My 26 y/o son now lives in Anchorage (moved there this past Spring). One of his roommates is an Airman but I'm not sure of his duty station.
I hope to visit up there next Spring/Summer. My son frequents the REI up there (not sure if there is more than one).

just got a good size tarp and two alcohol stoves. i hear that HEET is a really good fuel for the stoves, where can i get some?
My 4X4 truck died a terrible death at the young age of 15 so I am looking for a replacement, probably a Jeep. Reese hitch etc. Warmed up the atv, checked it over and until I get a 4X4 guess I'm stuck(donations graciously accepted), I did clean a few firearms and inventory ammo.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
to fight... he'll just kill you.
Joint Military Base Elmendorf/Fort Richardson. I've only been to REI once so not sure if there is more than one, but I don't think so.
Alaska to Florida, for how long, who knows...
Automotive stores, automotive section of stores like WalMart, and of course, on line.
More Olive oil, vegetable oil, toilet paper, dog food, a catapult, diesel 40ltr, topped up the cars, and lots of Christmas presents.
It's a dog eat dog world out there
Since it is getting cold (below freezing) here in Ohio, I took my prep buckets that are filled with wheat berries, bags of flour, rice, cormeal, oats, etc. out of the basement pantry and moved them to the garage for the winter. Getting these dry goods down below freezing will kill any larvae or moths that could be in my dry goods. I haven't seen any yet, and this will help prevent infeststations of any kind of vermin.
I also broke down the bulk sizes of wheat and rice into smaller packages so if one small 2 quart baggie were to get moths, it won't infest the whole 5 gallon bucket. Much easier and cost efficient to protect your survival grains and food. Any 5 factory 5 pound bags of flour, bread flour and corn meal, those factory paper bags were sealed in heavy mil plastic bags to again prevent any infestations from happening.
