What have you done this week to prep?

[churchmouse]

My sister treats here pool with a salt additive. It is done by a generator of some sort so there are no goofy chemicals in the water just a salt of some kind akin to softener salt. A good boiling or a small distiling device (for water...) would purify the water enough to be ingested. We are doing things to make this happen as here ranch is BOL #2 for us.

Standard deal....more can goods. Soups, beans, and road house chili.
More water and paper goods.
Ammo is finally up to satisfactory level.
Still working on solar heat.

I tried to rep you for the road house chili but it said I had given out too much. So, I will try again tomorrow.

It worked this time!

We had a new well pump put in our well or our "getway" property. The other one went out. This one is actually in the well and will elimate the worries I had of pippes freezing...

I got the rep. Thanks. Something to consider, even is it is SHTF time we have to have something enjoyable to eat. Can goods and bottled goods have a decent shelf life if you rotate them through. Stock up and rotate.

Rural King had some oil lamps on clearance today! Bought two and another large jug of paraffin lamp oil. Also got 2 3 packs of wicks

 

[gvsugod]

Got myself a new to me AR, and a chest rig on the way. Put together a bare minimum GHB as well.

 

[Rob52pars]

Stored some more rice away in mylar bags/buckets with gamma seal lids. I highly recommend using those lids. I also bought some more canned goods and ammo.

For those who are curious....

3/4" thin wall pvc pipe is good for 29 years to use as an air line with a 140 psi continuous pressure once it....

I take it you are at 29 years and 1 month. POP!!!!

I have the same PVC in my shop (@ 130 psi) and it has been there since about 1985 at best guess. Should I be expecting a failure.

Lol!
Pretty close on your timeline actually....
We built the shop in the fall of '83 right before harvest, as the ol' shop burnt to the slab that summer. Everything was put in quickly, with what we could find in a short time so we could get back into operation.

Since I have a little more time, I cobbled the old lines back together, I am in the process of laying in 1" schedule 40 pvc lines with a couple of new drops added. The new drops are those ones you are always saying, "if I had to do it's over again, I'd put a drop there.".

Bought some more Molle gear, a few more books and put the bikes in storage for the winter to enable some major changes in the garage.

 

[philo]

Bought some one pound propane tanks. They're on clearance at Menard's for $2 and change - about 30% less than the standard Wally World price.

They're closing out their summer camping aisle. I missed out on the dry bags I had my eye on. they were all gone.

Check the plumbing section clearance rack for the dry bags. That's where they moved them to in the Indy area store I visit.

 

[nwdezines]

just starting the process. Some good ideas.

Well I decided to train on my NBC decon. In my house thanks to my son thinking a dirty diaper makes a great place to find play dough wall and body paint. Left alone for about 45 min for "nap" time turned it into a wide spread epidemic.

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

More water and canned goods.

 

[sentinelrepublic]

80 crunches, leg lifts and push ups. Run and gun with veterans, had anal sex with wife...!!

 

[halfmileharry]

I picked up a half dozen plastic totes at a garage sale for $3, bought an old beater Blazer, and went to Elmore's Guns and picked up some of the Wilson mags for $25 each. Nice mags at a great price.

 

[Exodus]

Lmao on the anal.

Picked up 50 lbs of salt for less than 7 bucks. Thinking of getting another 100 or 2.

This week we stocked up on candles primarily for barter but also some to have on hand to give to extended family if needed. Also added some more oil lamps, lamp oil and replacement wicks.
