What have you done this week to prep?

[Iroquois]

Bought a backup generator, slightly used, for half price. No 220 but lots more portable than the main unit....

 

[WETSU]

Worked out hard.

1 dryfire session (G19, AK, 870)

Bought 200 rds of 12g shot for training

Practiced my knots

Had an awesome session in the gym with a top tier instructor, going back to the fundementals- footwork, striking/striking-kicking combinations, then went on to chokes, choke escapes and ended up with some stick fighting.

The prep for the moment would seem modest and regaining lost territory, but the surgery to restore use of both eyes will do much. It has also taught me that it may be wise to practice operating with one eye patched alternately such as to be prepared for injury diminishing or eliminating the use of one eye in SHTF.

Worked out (still losing weight to get back down to fighting trim).
Bought enough 55 gallon water barrels to triple my water stores (guy on craigslist had them super cheap).
Did maintenance on all vehicles and the generator (plugs, filters, fluids, oil, etc).
One range trip to Roush Lake in the rain.
Bunch of dry fire and transition drills.

Picked up some batteries and solar panels for my battery backup project... Also bought some 12ga slugs

This week I got a great deal on a 10oz silver bar. $190. Woohoo but that'll be it this week

Been a bit since posting in here.
We have been concentrating on rotating items. Putting items on the shelf that we can consume but enough in stock for at least 1 month of normal consumption.
We are finding a lot of consumables with decent shelf life.

Along with the long term stored items it is looking pretty good.

Water is still an issue.

I discovered that my first-aid supplies for small stuff were raided by other household members without replacing anything or even letting me know! I need to restock.

I have had the same issue. I have to hide the kit and that takes away from it being effective in a real emergency.

It's so simple: use something, either replace it or let me know!!!

 

[Gamez235]

Thats a constant. Or one boo boo kit gets raided and then move on to another. twice a year I pull them all out and restock..

I have a pad and pen in mine to list anything needed......

I ran into the same issue. I just added a bin of the common stuff to the medicine cabinet in the kitchen and keep my kit to myself.

We have maybe 3 well stocked kits between 2 houses and my shop. Add the "Emergency" kit and we have near triage ability's.
Why they keep raiding the emergency kit is beyond me.....

 

[Khazik]

Bought 40 ounces of silver, 25lbs of lentils, 25lbs adzuki beans, ordered a hungarian style bow w/40# draw (for practice, in addition to my 55lb Bear recurve), and seeds for planting . Next week will be more arrows!

*Edit* The Bow I ordered is by Buffalo, ordered on Amazon.com ($125 shipped here). Apparently it's really good for the money with many 5 star reviews. I figure it'll be a good rabbit/practice bow as I already have one for large game.

I keep a lot of the medical supplies and dried foods in sealed five gallon buckets. This keeps everyone from digging in my supplies we have other supplies for everyday use. It seems like too much trouble for them to open and look through the buckets so for now I am the only one stocking or rotating them.

Same here. All the best, Lex.

My Main kit is a shoulder type bag so it is easy to grab and go if need be.
