For me, I purchased 4 lanterns that will also be used for camping.

Purchased two more 5 gal gas cans to add a total of 10gal of gas to my disaster preparedness supplies.

I received yesterday 2 Black Berkey replacement filters that I ordered online. So today I went to Lowes and bought 3 pieces of food grade 5 gallons buckets.

Went shooting to keep in practice.

Charged a few batteries today


We used to buy the bulk packs of AA/AAAs at Costco. Now, we have a decent stock of AA/AAA Eneloops that we rotate to keep everything "fresh".

I really wish they (Eneloop) had CR123s. I only have one light at the moment that uses the 123s so it's not that big of a deal

Priming 5.56 cases in preparation for reloading them.

Since I've already loaded over 900 .223 rounds wtih 55 grain FMJBT, these will be 5.56mm rounds with 62 grain SS109 bullets for actual defensive use, should the need arise.

I've already got several hundred 75 grain HD HPBT rounds loaded, should the need arise.

Picked up 1k 223 rounds & a LW Colt Commander. Filled another 5 gal gas can & picked up 5 gal of water.

You'll probably laugh, but I vacuum sealed one pair each of clean of underwear and socks. The rain reminded me that walking in wet socks is the worst. Having a guaranteed dry pair of either is like heaven after a long, wet day.

Ordered a cool small 4$ compass that clips onto your watch band (gshock) Had good reviews so why not. Also purchased a cold steel SRK knife, and was given an LED lantern that is solar/hand crank powered, pretty damn bright too!

[Tripper]

bought a few walmart walkway solar lights $1 each, they each have a AAA battery in them, to try and convert them to cheap AAA battery solar chargers

oh, and I grabbed 100 .40, and 50 9mm

No laughing here...the vacuum sealer instructions (at least my Food Saver) suggest sealing all sorts of stuff like that.

I just checked my Food Saver instructions, but no fun hints like that. Bummer. I've vacuum-sealed batteries, printouts, ammo, food (of course), and now clothes. I may have an addiction...

I have a 2 story house with a stairway that has a landing and reverses direction. There is already a closet under the tall part that extends (finished) under the landing - great for luggage, xmas, etc.. Back in the finished portion of the under landing, I cut the drywall to access the short portion of the stairs. I am able to fit a lot of supplies under there, which is good since my garage is detached.

I've sealed Burt's lip balm, cheap wood matches, cheap lighters, baking soda, salt, sugar. I may have an addition.
