I think I'm due for another trip to the LDS and I've been working on getting together 10 more 5 gallon buckets.

What do you usually get at LDS? I always get a case of dried milk and one of apples. They are the best price I've found. They like that I'll do a box of apples but only take 6. Usually the 9 extras are gone from the shelf before I leave.

Cooked, divided, and froze a big batch of Italian Sunday gravy and chili. Did it all with the pressure cooker instead of simmering for 8 hours like I normally do. Turned out great. Family is set for red sauce and chili for awhile.

Hit the range. Put 100 rounds through my sr9, shot my dads 22 for a bit, and my hubby and I finally got to test out his new 45. Crappy shooting on my part, but I blame it on cold fingers. :D

Generator, just a eb3000 Honda but I'll take it considering the price on CL!

12v cable and tri-fuel kit next month.

Got a super deal on a huge chest freezer and a hand grinder for my coffee. I also got my seed catalog this week. Can't wait to sit down and plan out my garden for this year. I'm thinking about doing a medicinal herb garden and then drying the herbs for our BOBs.

So much to do!!

[Resto]

Bought a couple 2 point tactical slings, a 6 mag carrier.

Went to the local Smith's store for one of their case load sales. Got a few cases of canned goods and a lot of pasta stuff.
They were out of some stuff but getting more in on their truck tonight. Gonna head back in the morning for some flour, sugar, rice, and beans.
This is SOOOOO much easier now that my wife has gotten on board since hurricane sandy.

New to the boards here, thought I'd put in my preps as well. I'm a new prepper, so I've got a lot to do!

Today I exercised, studied for my Technician Ham License, and looked into getting my Concealed Handgun License.

[Purdy Bear]

Prepped the following for freezing:

6 lots of carrots
3 lots of Parsnips
2 lots of Suede


Made up the Ferret pattern but it needs work as I think the body needs lengthening and the paws didn't come out quite right. I now need to find a free pattern for an otter or change the Ferret one.

Canned 16 pints of shredded chicken. Next time I'll buy a few more pounds and do 18/19 pints. When you cut off the fat/other nasty parts there is considerable shrinkage.

Tomorrow, I'm trying chili!

I went through Sunday's papers coupons. Lots of coupons for personal care products, vitamins and cold stuff.

[ackbob]

bought some new stuff for the stepsons baby -- they grow out of stuff so damned fast..... and worked on the BOL to get it ready for increased usage while he recovers from surgery

[GhostPepper5K]

Just received 4 cases or freezer canning jars and 50 lbs of honey FREE from a friend of mine. Woo hoo! Also continued to better organize "the bunker" aka the storage room. Canned 10 jars or blackberry preserves. And....learned a valuable lesson: Pesto cannot be canned. I tossed 12 jars of pesto after reading this. The seals were still intact, but mold had formed inside on some. Perfect botulinum fodder.

Now opening up the FU-Bar for the Redskins game for us and friends.

Picked up an ATN® MK390 Paladin Night Vision Scope to help take care of night critters at the BOL. Also picked up some snares.

[gallard]

Teaching myself how to can, and putting up 8qts of pear sauce. Quite an enjoyable afternoon.

[Chesapeake Boy]

[stiedge]

Cleaned my AR, ordered mylar bags and absorbers, picked up several extra items at the grocery store
