Honestly, most of my prepping has consisted of getting the house put back together after the move.
Most of what I've done prep wise has been oriented towards organizing gear and trying to store it in some efficient manner. It's a good exercise actually.

I heard gas was going up 6 cents per liter in the next day or so (this was last week) So, topped up the Escape and all my Gerry cans....
And, the usual extra cans of food (Safeway had a special on soup, case of 12 for 4.99!!! Picked up tomato, Chicken noodle and vegetable) and case of water while grocery shopping. But, that has become habit now.

i started my garden this week. it's my first real garden. that counts as prepping, right?
Welp my wife and I got together and canned Pickled Watermelon Peel. She has done it once b4 and she said it was an awesome treat to munch on. We will open a can around Christmas and let ya know.
I have wonderful neighbors who gave me a huge box of apples. I made apple pie filling. Yesterday I made a apple pie with some of it. Yum, Yum. With this I can make different things. I was so grateful for the apples. Just can't waste anything, especially if it is free. This is a fun storage item. I got 14 quarts. I love it, it has no preservatives or other crap they put in our food. I need to buy one of those items you need to have to make applesauce.

Went and got a half dozen boxes of ammo to add to the stash. Cleaned all the guns to make sure they operated smoothly.
Added to the food stockpile included a large bag of rice and multiple bags of peas.
Used the last of FSA card for 2015 for additional medical supplies.
Went to Wally world and got head lights and 15 el-cheapo led lights (all clearance items). They are cheap (I have better), but they are now spread throughout the house. At 0.42 cents each they can't be beat.
