What have you done to prep this week?

[ElevenBravo]

Got a set of CHAINS for the Jeep, a pair for the front and a pair for the back! Also got a pair of bolt cutters to trim them. I had cables for the War Wagon but.. they broke easily so I give up on cables!

Ive been shooting video since the start of our "winter storm".

This damn vehicle (Jeep Grand Cherokee) with cheap ass Goodyears (Wranglers) has proven to be a snow beast! Ive gone everywhere, even over Catawaba Mountain!

Ive got stock size tires and no lift, of course there is only 8 inches of snow so a lot of ground clearance is not needed, though I do have a 2 inch budget boost kit waiting to go on.

That is all...

EB my Dakota has 255,xxx miles on her and tried a couple different manufacturers of tires, Michelin, Firestone. i settled on Goodyear Wrangler 235/75/15. best bang for the buck! good all around tire for down here, anyway. looking to get a new set here shortly. 3rd set. not real noisy on the road (can't stand Road Whine), good traction in the sand, good to excellent in the mud and excellent on wet roads.

Canned goods are still on sale... picked up another couple dozen.

The wife and I will be making a large batch of salsa and I will be teaching her how to can it. (Water bathe in this case)

We are actually delayed this week due to our housing company that we live under is doing some massive fixing of our house with no warning. Not complaining about them fixing stuff but some warning would have been nice since we already bought all the ingredients and have them sitting in the fridge at the moment. Can't do anything because the kitchen and duct work will all be getting torn apart during the fixing.

I am excited that she is showing some interest in canning at least but wish I could get her on board with the more involved things.

I am also in the process of making my first solar oven design to see what temps I can reach. Also have the promise of a TV lens from a friend down here to try and make the Solar griddle

Last Sunday I went to a Prepper Expo in Lakeland, central Florida. Saw lots of neat stuff, got some ideas, and most importantly met up with a small group of like minded friends that I have not seen for a while.

Awesome! We signed up back at Christmas, but ended up having important client in town and could not leave. This group putting this on has others and hopefully we can get to one in the SE this year. It's a growing trend.

Planted two Granny Smiths, two Fuji, three almonds, a Meyer lemon and a Mandarin. Pruned all the other fruit trees. Started prepping the garden. I'm going to get a bunch of asparagus starts tomorrow and maybe some more bare root. I want to plant a bunch of trees up at my cabin next fall.

I did my taxes this week. With that I plan on finishing my garden boxes, replacing my log splitter motor, buying a utility trailer, and getting my bike running again.

Oh - and a new gym membership.

Getting rid of the winter fat

[Willie51]

Got me a YETI Tundra 50 cooler. All my friends have these, but I'm way to cheap to buy one, so I used my points off AMEX and got it for FREE. If bugging out or power failure, this will keep stuff cool for a week or so.

Now saving points up to get a YETI Roadie 20 for daily use in the truck or traveling.

These also can be used for a dry box.

Also, sighted in my GAMO pellet rifle. It was off by 3" at 40 yards.
