Well, today’s the day. For better or for worse we are at what history may show to be a turning point for our country. I often am jealous of those who pay no attention to politics and just live their life. I’ve tried and unlike many, I simply cannot disconnect the relationship between preparedness and politics. Regardless – dwelling on something that we largely have no control over is unhealthy and just not a good use of time. Balance, right?
2020 has been a helluva year and not only is it not over but who knows what will happen in 2021? If Trump wins I certainly hope those of us who took a break from prepping realized that was a mistake and don’t’ allow that happen again. Regardless of who the President is “stuff” happens. We all need to realize that there is something that guides us and drives us into a preparedness lifestyle. That inner voice we hear telling us to get ready shouldn’t change based on politics – unless of course activity within politics creates a risk assessment that dictates such a change.
Beans, Bullets, and Band-Aids. Stay the course.
For tonight I’m going to stream some election coverage while sitting in my camper, throw back a few beverages, and enjoy some Chinese take-out.
It’s going to be interesting.
Be safe everyone!

For richer for poorer, ‘til death do us part. There’s a battle brewing in the land. Right and wrong. Good vs evil. Socialism vs Democracy. It’s like a wedding or marriage that’s going wrong. Will it come to a head today or this week or sometime before Inauguration Day? I think the lesson is clear we must always be praying for the best but preparing for the worst. How do you keep the marriage strong? Make sure to spend at least 15 minutes a day of uninterrupted time together. No phones, no tv, no internet, just face to face. Step 2, Have a date a week. Go out have fun, eat, laugh, dance, shop for preps together but one on one, do it together! Finally a whoopie a quarter. Get away or have a weekend together at home. Doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Clear the den floor, make a pallet. Flowers, candles, champagne or sparkling grape juice. A nice meal. And enjoy one another! My point – marriage or any relationship takes constant work and so does preparedness. We have to keep it up or when it’s truly needed we aren’t ready. Can’t let our guards down. Knives sharp, mags loaded, larder full, plenty of water! Keep Looking Up
OK, here we are. Good luck to all of us. That said, has anyone here had any experience with the duel drum 100 round capacity mags for 5.56? I purchased one for the AR platform as well as one the Ruger KAC-556 / Mini-14 platform. Haven’t had a chance to test them yet. Would love to hear what folks who have tried them have to say. Thanks,
