I listened to Judge Gorsuch yesterday. Impressive. Sounds like an extremely intelligent and honorable man. The bias statements from some on the Left are disgusting. Pure politics with no consideration of what is best for the country.

A lot of preparedness minded folks are turning to Pinterest. I’ve never been big on Pinterest and really looked at it as something for women to go share recipes and craft ideas. Excuse the sexism but it is what it is. Pinterest has changed a lot over the last couple years. There is some really cool stuff so I highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t.

There are “Pins” of all kinds from firearms, to hunting, fishing, and of course preparedness. Here at 1776PatriotUSA.com, we’ve set up a Pinterest account. It can be accessed HERE.  Still working on it and setting everything up.

Buddy of mine made an Altoid tin candle. Two wicks were installed. Pretty cool. Something so simple could provide quite a relief should the lights go out.

There are many reasons why so many love their Kindle and Amazon Fire tablets. One huge advantage is you could literally go years without every buying a book to read as there are tons of free eBooks available. Don’t have a Kindle or Fire? No problem. There are apps that can be installed on most any cell phone or computer for free. No excuses!

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.

    That is a great looking clays kit there. I have been thinking about putting together a bin that is easy to put in and take out of my car that would have more options for my get home gear in it when traveling. It would not be my get home bag mind you, it would be something that my get home bag would be enhanced with along with some other stuff. Stuff like a change of durable clothing, outerwear, and footwear, extra water and food rations, Defensive items, and things like that. The idea is that I can use I as a master supply depot with which to load my get home bag from, or if an immediate bug out is needed I don’t need to load some stuff up first. Like I said it would be more than I need, but provide more flexibility and some items if I was on a day trip that was just a little bit away from home when things go south.

    What do you think?

    Nice pics.Agreed about Judge Gorsuch. I’m at rest with him no matter what decisions may come from him.

    Oh, as far as yesterday’s post. Late comment/post.I agree JR, they are “trying” to whip their sheep up. So it’s going to be a lot of loud rhetoric. However remember this, pine straw. It’s going to be a long process weeding out the scum, but we need to hold strong. Not even sweating it, we will keep preparing. Here is my perspective. I do not want this to come across as sacrilegious or offensive to anyone else, but…God help them if they make me have to defend myself. That Marine Corps switch stays off for a VERY good reason.

    Heads up -check out Judicial Watch.org.They just posted that an elementary school received tax free status for a “Satanic” club for their students.It is conducted by ” friendly satanists” -this was approved in 10 days. Please respond folks.This is outrageous -especially when Conservative groups are still awaiting tax free status after YEARS.

    Lightening…”spring” cleaning has begun 🙂 i also am winnowing out the stuff kept that “might come in handy” in a pinch. The years of living in one place too long catch up to you as well. My mind is lately getting the same treatment…i have found a bit of what i thought not so useable either. Like…everyone is nice at heart, well most everyone, and means us no harm. Or, people can talk reasonably with each other…even if we disagree. Or, everyone is willing to pull their weight/do their part on a job. Yep…learning how naive i am=clearing out the stuff….
