Survival and Emergency Preparedness

Cleaned up the safe and took an inventory of the amount in each caliber.

Flashlights. Batteries are Energizer or Duracell. I use the standard alkalines for back ups but have really taken to Eneloop batteries in AA and AAA. They do a great job of holding a charge, have a substantial mAh and are very cost effective. I don't know if Costco still has them but that's where I...

Got a good deal today from a local BST site (Florida Gun Trader). Guy was getting out of 40 S&W and had eight 50-round boxes (400 rounds) for $175. What made it a good deal was six of the boxes (300 rounds) was 180g Speer Gold Dots. That's about half price from what I've seen online.

I've taught several new shooters on it and they all really did well with the pistol. They laugh when I up the calibe...

"Invasion" logistics is a big reason I see that the US does NOT need to be involved in every little whatever in other countries. A completely home based defense force could easily make it nearly impossible to attack the US. For example, to get here from China - you need a pretty big fleet...

Biggest issue with the 2 weeks + is medicine. Many of us take certain meds that are prescribed and given out for 30 days. I got my doctors to run with 90 day scripts AND then manage to lose some of them. My insurance allows one loss of script per year so check out yours for same. I manage to stock ...
