Installed stove pipe today for my barrel stove in my shop, and stocked up on some supplies for the shop.
Would like to hear how the stove works. Did you get all of that wood cut/split???

Our BOB is accessible as well but I try and keep it intact. If something get used from it I am not always made aware of it. That is why the wife has her own FAK

Broke up all the big bags of rice into 4 cup bags with the Food Saver. Made some MRE's for the BOB. Gotta plan out more alternate meals for the fam. I made lentils and rice with creamy chicken broth and they loved it so it's going to be a staple. Did some hiking for training near the BOL. Longer trip than I though with the kids in tow.
Should have posted you where going to bag the rice with the food saver lol.
I would have told you the result.Bags that do not stay sealed.The rice punctures them.Maybe one out of 10 we did stayed sealed longer than a few days.We are strictly buckets for rice now.
All my bags are still sealed and good to go.Should have posted you where going to bag the rice with the food saver lol.

Pulled the main door to my house. Reinstalled it a more secure way. Before I put the interior trim back on I am installing a piece of angle iron at the striker area. Won't make it kick proof, but they will need a few good swings.
Next will be to replace the patio door in back. Never liked it anyhow. Then will start looking into the window film.
Woke up this morning to standing water at my pump house and no water pressure , started digging in the mud and after a day of digging still have yet to find the leak. Will be back at it in the morning but it has just backed up my decision to install a manual hand pump well since this is the second time in 6 months we have not had water. Thankfully we have plenty stored!
Double bagging helps. Since the foodsaver bags are so expensive, I use ziplock freezer bags without sealing them, then put that inside the foodsaver bags.Should have posted you where going to bag the rice with the food saver lol.

Two of the GI 5 gallon plastic containers arrived from buylci.com today. The wife asked about them and I had to explain that my blue aquatainers get too beat up bouncing around in the utility cart I pull when I take the kids outside.
Helped a newer prepper think out what he needs in his emergency bag by showing him everything I had in mine. I'm currently redoing my bag because I started carrying it for some short distances and it was just unrealistically heavy.
Finally topped off my diesel storage. My goal was 1000 gallons by Nov 1. I beat my goal by a couple weeks.
