What have you done this week to prep?

[indyjohn]

Dang, you've been busy..

We had our first venture into canning today. Tomatoes into Salsa into jars.
Yesterday we added water and more long term storage food.

We are contemplating doing some canning next year with the garden goodies. WE have some great teachers just never any time.

 

[WETSU]

Lessee,

One fight session, lighter, less throwing. More wrist locks and arm bars. A little ground game.

Lots of rucking. Lots. Plus some gym time. And heavy bag

Dryfired twice: G19, AK, 870

Rotated gas

Cut up a dead ash (no surprise there) and laid in the wood.

 

[DanSwanky]

Added some ammo and got my spare propane tank filled so I am set to be able to use the grill through the winter and if the power goes out.

 

[Iroquois]

Been catching mice by the chicken coop and feeding them to the catfish…waste not, want not. No chemicals were used ,just old fashioned mouse traps.

 

[Thor]

Guess I need to get serious about stocking my pond.

I just hit GFS for large cans of stuff. Lots of coffee too.

Coffee........what a concept. Good thinking. We have rotated through all of ours.

 

[Thor]

Caffeine and alcohol...staples of the apocalypse.

I was sitting with the list of..."Things to get" and coffee was not even thought of. We buy it in the 3 Lb. containers at Sams. Need to get a couple.

 

[Thor]

I picked up 10 cans...ought to get me through the week...

 

[churchmouse]

Not a drinker any more past beer but looking at putting in some alcohol. Might revert back if the "S" does HTF
Just not sure what to put in. Really doubt I will be drinking it but who knows.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Never considered coffee... Thinking if I had to hole up for a month or so if this Ebola thing gets around here, that would be a necessary item.

Also, what sort of masks are best for this type of thing? I have some Israeli Civilian Gas Mask w/ Nato Filters that I picked up a year or so ago, but something more compact and comfortable might also be nice to have on-hand. Is N95 the rating to look for?

 

[indyk]

Rice
Beans
Filled propane tanks
Stocked firewood
Grey tape
Coffee.

 

[longbow]

rotating food

Found some food that we did not rotate-actually cases of food

I think given the recent transfer realities of the virus treating it more like radioactive fallout would be more useful than trying to wear a mask. If it comes to town don't go out! Beyond that...the size of this virus will make stopping it with a filter problematic. The N95 could be useful for screening it a percentage of the time.

I consider a lot of what I have put up to be barter material as well as staples. Come the apocalypse folks are going to want some vodka. I also have a full set of brewing equipment and can turn out about 15 gallons of beer a week. I've got probably 2k Grolsch bottles that I got from an old (now closed) German restaurant in WI. Flip tops with plenty of extra rubber seals.

World falling apart? Bars open! Whatcha got to trade?

[Butternut]

Set back some more reloading goodies and put out squirrel feeders. Tis the season.

 

[indiucky]

Pruned the grape vines and "reconfigured them" after 40 years of just being allowed to grow "wild"...I have popped 6 ibuprofun for the soreness that is kicking in about now....

 

[Thor]

You got it...I also added a gallon of molasses, 50lb of sugar, gallons of malt extract, yeast....
