Survival and Emergency Preparedness

OK - here is a recent food prep update:

#1 Still have rice/bean/oat buckets - 5 x 5 gal.
#2 Got my storage pantry shelves full
#3 2x Auguson Farms 2wk buckets
#4 2 Cases of MREs. (XMRE and Amercian Star)
#5 My standard pantry

Feeling pretty fooded-up. Let's vote!!!!

Checked and inflated all the tires on each vehicle including the spare. I've been meaning to do the spare for some time now but it's been 'out of sight out of mind'. I'm glad we checked it as each was very low.

Last week did 120K check. Whole 9 yards - all filters, sparks, rotate, oil etc....and paid off!!!!!

We have been going through and reorganizing, checking dates, and seeing what needs to be updated/replaced. We have moved to placing most items into plastic tubs for two reasons. One, it keeps the critters away from the items. Two, it makes it easier to grab a container and go if we need to.

I have put these on my spare tires...( check a spare ) are they are up and tucked away.
Saves a bit of trouble checking air as it just now sits at bumper. All my truck/car(s) have them

Thanks, that's pretty handy

And I have finally replaced my old Brunton and Fastenal battery packs. They were both years (6+) old and hundreds of charges / recharges, staying in hot car, etc. They served admirably for years, but lately they were taking forever to charge, not topping off, and not holding charges. Old tech happens.

Just got a new 10k and 20k Anker pack for my main bag and my car. Let there be phone!

And six 2400 calorie Mainstay bars currently in lineup!

Now up to 30 days of food JUST in the bedroom closet....

I now have 17 tomato plants going. My grow season is different from most of the rest of the country.

excellent! Love the home grown maters
