What have you done to prep this week?

[LUNCHBOX]

This week we are ripping all our carpet out to put in wood laminate floors...is this a prep? Gutted the squash plot, and then there is Halloween...which is in most families not a prep....but if zombie hoardes were roaming around we have oodles of amazing costumes from over the years....I have to use that expensive theatre degree atleast once a year.

I think if someone was sneaking through your house and you could hear it on hardwood and not on carpet then there you go.

I added some more .223 ammo (Kodiak and I found it at D---"s sporting goods on sale) also picked up some more dry goods but I try to pick up some every trip to the store.

As Lunchbox said in the previous tread, picked up some Remington .223 for 1/2 off at D*ck's sporting goods, and i bought a Rem 870 Tac 12ga that ive had my eye on for awhile. Also picked up a couple boxes of 00 buck that was on sale.

Tonight we packaged 22-3 cup bags of rice ,5-2 lb. bags of pinto beans ,and 5- 1lb. bags of pasta. We used two 300cc oxygen absorbers in the large bags and one in each of the smaller bags.

Whoohooo!!!!! Bill gets to add 1 harvested deer to his preps today! Poor Bambi ran across the road in front of the BOV! Steel Bumper Versus Bambi Neck = Venison in the freezer!

BOV - 3
Deer - 0

ETA: Post # 223. . . How quaint!

Damn. Your BOV has killed more deer than my shotgun has! Bummer.

Yea, well, it doesnt help that I keep turning around and going back for them if I miss them the first time!

Just got back from Salt Lake last night. Most people go on vacation and bring home souveniers. Justa and Mr. Prepper go on vacation and bring home Preps, lol!! Here's a few things we picked up from Emergency Essentials and Grandma's Country Cream (where we get our powdered milk)

Mylar Bags
New Food Storage Cookbook
Buttermilk Powder
Sour Cream Powder
Datrex 2400 Cal Emergency Bars (for BOB/GHB)
5 different MRE's to taste test
Powdered Milk samples (free with our purchase)
BOB/GHB water purifier
P-something or other can openers

and for shits and giggles (since they're too pricey for us to store in any significant quantity)

Red Feather Canned Butter
Red Feather Canned Cheese
Yoder's Canned Bacon



I'll report back as we start taste testing.

Just finished up 16 canned pint sized chocolate cakes! (ok, 15, had to try one of them out to check for taste, consistency, and overall useability! Nummy!)

We picked up 2 more kerosene lamps. These are small models, maybe 8" tall. We also got a couple of old time cookbook's.
