Survival and Emergency Preparedness

I thought I put this up. www.shoptaurus.com has it's usual holiday (memorial day) sale going on They've actually been running it in conjunction with the NRA show/meeting last week and continued it with the Memorial Day sale. They have a Viridian weapons light with charger pack which seems to be a go...

Got the windows in and am about 96% done. Started moving the base, platform and stairs out to the ridge overlooking the ravine. Should be able to put it all back together next weekend.

It's kind of funny how much I have invested in my Taurus's. I don't think I've bought anywhere near the add ons or accessories for any other gun like I have for my Taurus TX22 and G3c. Granted some of the stuff, optics and lights can be used on other guns and I just happened to buy them on sale at s...

Now that the weather has warmed up my wife and I have been walking. We are up to 3.5 miles about every other day. Weights at the gym on off days along with some other cardio (stair stepper, treadmill etc). At least when we are home, time of the year when we are going to the woods house 3-4 days a we...

My fitness goals have changed slightly. Still in training for next year's adventure race, but.... My wife and I just booked an adventure cruise in Alaska. We had been to Alaska in 2017 when we rented an RV and did the interior, fishing, hiking and camping for 26 days. This time we are doing the insi...

Actually been learning a thing or two about MREs. -There is a date stamped/imbedded in the heavy plastic outer packaging. It is a 4 digit code in the Julian calendar. To convert it to our date you need to do a google search for MRE date code. When converted it tells you when the MRE or HDR was made,...

Already fiq I couldn't bug out in my location.... have to go thru NYC. Always planned to bug in... and with 2/3 neighbors that are well planned to bond as a group ( hopefully ) But I still never tell them my full supply stock. Okay, there's a meteor heading your way. Annihilation is guaranteed with...

I just found my note books, maps and binder with all my info I put together for my bike bugout. I noticed in my plan that I had the railroad tracks marked out. There are tracks that go north then swing north west almost the entire way. Some of those tracks have been turned into bike paths (Rails to ...

I just picked up 17 MREs with heaters for $17. The guy I bought them from said the MREs were way out of date but still sealed "but don't eat them". He was selling them just for the heaters. When I got them home I checked the the date code on them which says they expired in Oct '23. From ev...

I hadn't really thought much about caches along the way to a bug out location (BOL). I was thinking about just stashing/hiding stuff at the site. And yes, it's much better to have a place to go than to simply get out of Dodge without a plan or destination in mind. My bug out location (BOL) is my woo...
