Put half a cow and a whole hog in the freezer for my dinner in the last couple weeks....lol. Picked up 100 lbs of chicken feed (bi-weekly) I am also pulling around a dozen eggs a day so the chickens are paying to feed themselves (thats so nice I will let them a little longer) I will be picking up 2 more cows in the next month also.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
This week was "go out on a limb" time. A good co-worker asked a curiousity question and i laid down some information he had never heard of or even considered about his day to day life. Needless to say, he has been awakened from the sheeple land he used to graze and is all excited about prepping. So i guess i added to my preps by enlightening him to plan ahead. One less mouth i have to worry about needing a handout.
Excellent job pit bull. That's always a nice step.
I had company from out of state this weekend and didn't get anything accomplished around the house. However spent considerable time discussing world events and our reactions toward them. Found out they had prepped for Y2K, but hadn't done anything since (still have the supplies) and sounded like they are getting back at it. The lady did tell me she has a son in Fl who is definatly a prepper. If I can get contact info to him, he will be invited to look this site over.
put up some more canned goods.
put up about 6 more gallons of stored water
500 rounds of Hornady TAP 9mm
500 rounds Hornady TAP .45
clipped coupons with the wife
most importantly.....
didn't get into my Twinkie stash.....

Weapons maintenance.
I just emailed the manager of the local county emergency management organization to ask what sort of opportunities existed for CERT or for a civilian to volunteer to help with local emergency management stuff. Also asked about any civilian participation in search & rescue efforts. We get a lot of lost canoes and hikers in these parts.
Partly I'd like to do it as a way to support the community. Partly it's a way to gain skills, build contacts, understand the politics in the area, etc.

I "found" 500 rounds of M855 once. Just had no idea it was laying around on the ammo pile till I got to looking at it one day.
So I understand your score!

Rebuilt my first aid kit.

If you see me or hear me coming, I'm not doing my job.
Picked up a Coleman 2 burner lantern w/2 1 lb. bottles, extra mantels and plastic case for $15.00 and a nice like new large Jansport exterior frame backpack (at work and can't remember the model name) and another one in great shape that I will have to take look at and add the name later, both for $30.00--I felt pretty good on the way home this morning.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
