What have you done to prep this week?

[Sniper-T]

I just picked up a 50 gallon gas tank at an auction sale.

[Evolver]

Picked up another discarded 20lb propane tank so now we have a total of four and they are all full.

what are you doing with all the canteloupe?

Eatin all we can stand. The rest, we are gonna attempt to dehydrate them. We've found them already dehydrated, but don't have a receipe. Anyone on here have one they would like to share? It is really good, almost like candy if it's done right.

Went to a gun show today for the first time in several months. I scored before I got in the door. There was a older gentleman in the ticket line in front of me that had a old shotgun and an old .22 rifle. I ask him about the .22, turns out it was his dads who had passed recently. It's a Marlin Model 75C. It in pretty decent shape. Got it for $60 so I don't feel like I hurt myself.

Later on after much looking I found a couple of AR upper's I liked. Right before I got thru everything the first time I ran across a guy that had a upper. Come to find out it was a Spikes Tactical complete upper. 5.56 16" chrome lined barrel with a 1 in 7 twist flattop. Got it for $300. The AR build just took a nice step up. I also got 6 more Pmags. Over all prices on most everything other than weapons seemed close to what they were a few months back. But the crowd was the largest I've seen at that show. And everyone was buying. Lots of couple buying medical supplies, ammo, ect. I was very glad to see that.

Apparently we have what looks like a small pawpaw orhrd growing wild. There are 6 trees altogether in a 200 ft area. 1 is bearing fruit.

scored a 100Gal plastic water trough for $20 At a yard sale, a big tripod for $5 and me some more winter steel toe boots for $3

The wife and I were at Sam's getting a prescription filled, and while waiting we browsed the book section and saw these books- Survival Handbook, Country Wisdom & Know How, Survival Wisdom and Know How, and Natural Healing and Know How. Needless to say we took home all four of them.

I'm still working on the basement. I just put a bunch of things on craigslist to trade for. I think I will need some luck getting what I want. Also trying to organize all of the long-term storage, but I'm not very good at it. I got a lot done 2 weeks ago that I didn't post. Bought 12 cans of FD chicken, a case of Bega cheese, a case of Yoder's bacon, paid for the 1/2 cow, added to the emergency fund and my daughter's fund, found a good deal on an old silver coin, and changed out the water in my aquatainers. I'm probably missing a lot, but I just can't think.

Found a good deal on a sheet 4x8 of kydex T that I'm gonna go pick up tomorrow in black. I don't need this much kydex, so I'm probably gonna be looking for someone in the DFW area to sell 1/2 a sheet to. Gonna try my hand at some holsters, even though i just ordered a raven concealment for my beretta. They dont make a holster for the 92a1, probably because Of the rail, so i'll be making one of those soon, dont need concealment really, just need a good holster for range duty, and because you need a holster for EVERY fighting pistol IMHO. I'm also thinking of figuring out which of my buddies has a chopsaw, and having one of my Ontario Machetes cut down a bit, it'll need a custom sheath too, so that'll be one of my first projects.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Went to Honeyville and picked up 1/2 gallon of extra virgin coconut oil for $36, some raw honey, and some more ova easy crystallized eggs. Alsao checked grain and bean prices. ~$16/50 lbs for white corn; slightly less for beans and other grains. I may have to buy some more and bucketize it, for Justin Kase.

^Bucketize it....great word Grumps!!!! I like it. I think it should be the word of the month

Bought 4 cases of really old "Honey" Mason canning jars (quart size) for $5 each on the way back from FL. They didn't come with lids origionally but since I already have them it's not a problem. They are very cool and if I had more room to transport them I would have bought more since I don't know if I can get them for the same price later. I just bought quart jars today and they were over $10. arrrrgggggg.

I think I have a recipe/method in my Mary Bell Dehydrator book. I'll check and post back in the food section.
