added 4 cheap LED headlamps and 3 cheap LED flashlights to the preps this week, couldn't resist, they were 4 headlamps for 4.95 and 3 lights for 7.95 at Home Depot, all came with batteries, and it keeps me from using my lightstick to check on the baby at night, as well as giving me a light that isn't 240Lumens to do little stuff with. My son is 18mos. and always wants dad's flashlight, so now he has a headlamp and a flashlight to play with too. I use my lightstick at work every day and carry a streamlight as a spare on my toolbelt, so I go thru lots of CR123's as it is, so a few extra throwaways are nice to have.
bought 3 canisters of fuel for my Coleman MAX stove.
Picked up a Beretta 22 NEOS from Gander MTN for an absolute steal. Then put a red dot on it. (out of all my arms, I didn't have a .22 target pistol. I couldn't believe it.)
Grabbed 1 50lb sack of rice from Sams.

Went to the gun show today and picked up some .223 PMC, 62 gr, .308 PMC, 147gr, 6 Magpul mags for the AR, 2 isreali trauma bandages. I also got some silver coins for $70. At today's silver prices, they are worth at least $125. I was very happy.
I absolutely stole an OTIS/GERBER military tool and cleaning kit from someone at work. Retail is about $350. Managed to get it for 50 bucks.

Almost got my camper ready for the trip next week. Picked up a few things from Wallys today. Got 20 rounds of 12 ga. #1 buck and 20 rounds of 00. Got a bunch of cheap fishing stuff, small bobbers, split shot, hooks etc. In one week, I will be coming at you from the BOL. I am excited.
Picked up 200 rounds of .223 from Dicks sporting goods, they had it on sale for almost half off. Also got a box of .45 and 2 boxes of 9mm, adding to the stock pile

I found a 5000w/6250w surge generator on Craigslist yesterday. Checked it out today, used but functions perfectly. 120/240v with circuit breakers on all 4 plugs and a wheel kit.
I picked it up for $225. It also came with a 25' 10/2 w ground with a box that connects directly to our camper.
Down side is that it is very LOUD! I am very open to ideas on how to quite it down even a little. Upside, it's gonna help me get the chicken coop put together quicker, we'll have a genset for the camper should we need to boondock sometime. And if needed we have power for our freezers and fridge for a period.
First and foremost is what is the physical size of the gennie (not rating)and can you post a pic? Secondly, what type of motor is on it? It is always possible to replace the muffler with something bigger and quieter but you have to becareful that you dont end up burning the exhaust valve(s) depending on what you do. Be careful about putting any kind of shroud around it. Overheating the genset itself, can destroy the windings and you are stuck with a motor that runs bit no electricity. A "friend" did yhat with one of my small generators. Now I have spare parts for a machine I dont have.Originally Posted by bacpacker
It's roughly 18x18x24 give or take a little. Has a 10hp B & S engine.
I assume you can run a longer muffler/same diameter without much problem but you can't close the diameter without burning issue's in the valve train. I guess what I'm tryin to say, Don't increase the back pressure too much?
The surround I was thinking about was just a tall set of walls to direct the sound upward as opposed to out. Not sealing it off.
