What have you done this week to prep?

[OneHarryMess]

If the average person saw your ammo storage, and wouldn't think you're hoarding, then you're probably not prepping.

I disagree.....Depending on your location, wether you plan to bug in/bug out and why there are much more important things on the list to stock up on unless you're prepping for an ammo ban or something.with that said I guess im a ammo hoarder but in reality im addicted to reloading lol. I shoot almost every other day but it would take some serious effort to catch up, every night i sit down at the bench and load load load while listening to some bluegrass and chewing on some stokers!
7500 various 30-30 loadings
5500 30-06
10,000 308(Some of this is surplus however)
8500 45acp
4000 357
2500 45lc smokeless/800 45lc BP
1000 12ga buckshot
300 12ga slugs
And I just got my yearly reloading order, so with leftovers from last year I can load up a lot more where thems came from!

Added a TOPS piggy back fire steel to my ESEE CM-6, plus some gorilla tape and a bit of para cord (actually the cord was already wrapped around it).

Made sure I had a spot on the CM-6 that would make sparks (the semi-sharp false edge will). I'll probably flatten an inch of the spine near the grip to make nice, sharp 90 degree angles soon.

A little here, a little there.

2 cases of water from Sam's Club. 6 gallons for $5.78. I'm sure there are more bang for the buck methods, but the ease of storing/stacking these boxes and mobility if needed are worth it in my eyes.

Ice Mountain 100% Natural Spring Water (1 gal., 6 ct.) - Sam's Club

Got to practice my first aid training today. My mother in law fell and broke her arm. I evaluated her injury,
stabilized her arm, placed it in a sling and took her to the hospital. After spending half a day in the hospital, they sent her home in a sling and said it will heal as long as it stays in the sling 24/7 for 6 weeks.

[teddy12b]

Useful trees inbound.

Garden seeds started.

Jerusalem Artichoke and other prolific edible plants inbound to be spread throughout property.

Electrical work/research for generator hook up and use at the house.

Dry fire practice.

Added compost to garden beds to give them a good fresh start this year.

Keep going to the crossfit gym. It's tough, it break me every time I go. It's also been one of the best things I've ever done. I have more energy all day long, I play with my kids more, I chase my wife around the house more, and I eat like a half starved horse without adding any weight. I started crossfit because a lot of people in the prepping community recommended it, and I would recommend it to anyone.

 

[churchmouse]

Revised the raised garden bed. Retaining walls to keep the dirt where it belongs.

Realized that some bandaids that I got are not what I wanted, and they need to be replaced.
Swapped some items out of my vehicle and some in.
Bought some beef jerky for a trip and ended up not opening it. Into the preps with it.

Something something ham radio in the truck now. Working on Comms and stuff.

Bought a new knife I didn't need, but used it to carve up the Ham on Easter with the family so now that it's been used it's completely justifiable.

Starting to research more and more into precious metals and their relationship with the stock market. I was tuned up on it, but stopped following. Now it's time to catch up.

Well over the past several weeks, I have purchased four (4) Glocks. One Gen4 21, Two Gen3 20SF's, and a Gen4 19. All at good cheap prices. Stocked up on mags, changed out some of the springs for a better trigger pull, cleaned them up and carrying the G19 back and forth to work and one of the G20SF when off duty out and about.
