Swapped out fuel in storage, stabilized and biocided it. Spent a day at the range with new DMR rifle, taught the wife some drills. Purchased quite a few backup items for cooking. upgraded some BOB items to lighter weight stuff. Going out to test the new stuff this weekend. Upgraded the triggers on a couple rifles. Bought some spare mags for another. Finally got a copy of the country living book.
Next prep: Food storage. Dehydrator, food saver, more cans to store the late harvest deals at the farmers market. Set up new raised gardens for next year. Start planning for next growing season.
We bought the Excalibur dehydrator...has 9 trays and works great. If you are going to get a food saver buy the jar sealer...great way to store your dehydrated food and dry food. Garage sales always have jars and food savers...I have picked a couple up for 5 bucks. Last year I bought 14 cases of jars mostly 1/2 gallon ones at a yard sale for 11 bucks.
Great mjnds must think alike. I just put xs big dot 24/7's on my glock 26.
Also, I've been noticing that 9mm ammo at reasonable prices is starting to dry up so I bought some ammo before all the election craze hits.
I got the TFO version. I love the look. I can see great with them day or night. Problem is that I shoot way low now and there is no way to change that with the sights.
Borrowed a friends pistol. same as mine but with XS Big Dot. I loved it before. Going to compare the two sights side by side. He will swap me if I want.
I too have been seeing less ammo on the shelves. I hope it doesn't get as bad as before, where it is like hitting the lottery to find a box.

Then I bought this:

Today I spent more money on silver than I should have and my only regret is that I didn't buy more. To each their own, but we just made things harder on ourselves if we ever hope to get out of this mess.
You are probably already well ahead in the last few hours,silver is up over $2.00 an ounce.
There is no way out of the mess now other than hyperinflation.
I've got the regular trijicon night sights on the G19 and the XS Big Dots on the G26. My triji's were put on at Freedom Firearms here in town and they must not have put any locktite on them because the front sight came loose. I've corrected that now. Personally I like the sight picture of the triji's better myself, but the XS sights come strongly recommended for a reason. I'm going to try both at the range side by side and see what works best for me. One thing is for sure though, I'll take any brand of night sights over no night sights at all.

Just my personal opinion. In a really bad SHTF situation, silver will be like cash, useless..
With silver, you can't eat it, drink it, build shelter with it, protect you/your family with it, or anything else like that. In the end it's basically useless. I personally would only trade preps for other useful preps.
Like I said, just my opinion. Your needs/wants may vary from mine.
