Survival and Emergency Preparedness

Spring in MIchigan also known as second winter. Mid 20's today 5" of snow at home in the burbs, 7"+ up at the woods house. I drove to Detroit for work on Friday. Not a flake all the way there and then a blizzard in the city. Inches of snow on everything without a salt or plow truck in sig...

We had a brief false spring here. A week or so of 60's and beautiful. It's been snowing again this week.

This should he...

When things leveled out after COVID, I watched and waited. Local prices on good 9mm hovered around $12.99 for a year or so. With inflation, that seems to be the new baseline.
