    Socal that is spot on. Most people do not think about the fluids in cans. I used to do a little interdiction, catching illegals along the border in another life. So many of them would carry cans of corn both to eat and drink.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    We have some water stored, I'm guessing near 150 gallons. Plus 2 neighbors have spring fed ponds and we have multiple water filters/purifiers. I also will be setting up another 600 gallons of rainwater catchment.

    Canned goods are quick and easy plus don't require added water. But my rotation sucks to be blunt. I'm just tired of losing stuff. Nutrition isn't as high, caloric wise either.

    BacpackWe her, it sounds like you are in pretty good shape water-wise. Right now we are good for about 40 - 45 days with stored water, not even counting the water heater tank. There is a small river about 3/4 a mile away that could provide some water, but it is certainly not potable and would have to have treatment. I have a number of 5 gallon pails that I could use to carry back and forth - as long as I have fuel for the SUV. We do keep at least 1 gallon of chlorine bleach on hand, as well as some smaller water filters. If we get into much more than 2 months of no water supply I could be in for a world of hurt. No underground water near us to our knowledge. We have a weekend vacation place in the mountains that is about 75 yards from a small underground source that is not too deep. The neighbor on whose property sits above it has said we could get some from them if we are up there. Our situation is such that we plan to bug-in. We are fairly well supplied at home and it is in a fairly good defensible position if it should come to that. At our mountain place we do not have that much stored supplies, perhaps about a weeks worth at best and it is very vulnerable from all sides.

    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    Ebay is useless for mags, almost everything is limited to ten rounds.

    Just black and white words on a screen.
    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    Thanks for thinking of me i really do appreciate the gesture. Thankfully I have some pretty good contacts in the free world and I have already received enough for a 61rd load out if I desired. AND more on the way. I usually try for a minimum of 10 mags for each weapon.
    I still need to get a G19 shell from CompTac.

    You have to know what to look for. They will always describe a 10rd mag but the description might give the model number for a high cap. I scored a few ETS 15rd mags that were sold as a disassembled "parts kit". You can look for key words like "double stack" or blocked or pinned (which can easily be reversed)
    Also remember that all 15rd mags will hold 10rds. Know what you are looking at too, the pics can give hints.
    Why would you buy mags off of eBay I'd you live in Fla?

    I dont live in florida anymore. Moved to the upper peninsula and its hard to get supplies. All the pictures I saw on ebay had the magazines indented on the sides so the follower would only travel so far down.

    speaking of which I need to change my profile I guess.

    Alpha I like your style, I too try to have a minimum of 10 or more per gun also. So now the Left Coast has a ban on 10 round mags so I will just go and throw out all those evil ones in the trash when the date comes just rest assured. Until that time I am buying a bunch of 10 round mags for my kids so they can be compliant with the law, as for me well I'm old and I just don't care any more.
