What Did You Do To Prep This Week?

The most major accomplishment this week was a “Tactical Response” class I attended with Prepper Ralph(my co-host on The Patriot Podcast). This class was offered by Wolf-Fire Firearms based in Mooresville, NC. The class was held Saturday. Weather was extremely hot (over 90 degrees) and humidity was high.

Four people total took the class. Safety was always emphasized. Rules were in place where firearms were kept between sessions. Shooting using different grips, stances, while moving, behind cover, etc. was covered.

Below is a clip of myself running up to engage a threat located on the other side of the barrels. I had to shoot around the left side single-handed which is not my forte but I did well.

I had a great time and instructor David Stutts is informative, patient, and thorough.

I was very happy with my performance. Hits on target were consistent. I feel my skill has progressed and my overall comfort with my firearms – especially the carbine – is getting closer to where I want it.

Also during the week I did a thorough cleaning on all my guns. It was long overdue.

So – what have you done this past week?

    Picked up another half dozen Silver Eagles, received the Sawyer water filter and 5 gallon bucket kit I ordered from you (but have not had time to assemble yet) 😕, found a brick of 22 LR at a really good price. Guess that’s about it…

    Strange couple of weeks. New tires, inspection & carb kit on the Harley. Ate into my funds but 48 MPG vs 15 MPG in the truck. Will save some $ on nice days. Picked 3 BOBs for grandkids now I need to outfit them. 4 mags for the Glock 43. Rethinking my EDC, work 40 miles from home & cross a tunnel/river. Truck is loaded but if can’t use really need have some backup plans. Have read a lot but need to tailor mine.

    Did our monthly tac carbine shoot today (Sunday), bought another Sawyer Mini filter, 4 Magpul Glock & 6 alum AR mags, assembled a rubbermaid kitchen ‘chuck box’ utilizing sterilite pull out drawers from Walmart – don’t know why I haven’t done this before. The ‘camp box’ is always in disorder, now it isn’t and incorporated it into our vehicle 3 tote bugout kit. Was able to fit into some Riggs ripstop pants I bought 3 years ago to replace the 5.11 tactical pant look (down 25lbs now), paid off a credit card, ordered 500rds of 9mm FMJ for training & 100rds of 9mm JHP and worked in the garden. Next week, lots of work on the Jeep.

    Added food and broadened to include other foods. Added 1000 .22 LR and some more 00, and 10/22 mags. Lots of garden work.. by the time I weed through them all it’s time to start over again. ugh! Unfortunately added to my skill sets replacing some water and heat issues.. Upside is I now know what I did not and saved about $2000.00 in the process. More castle repairs in the works.. it happens. our berries needed picking .. etc.. I traded out for two breeding covey’s of jumbo quail .. 0$ (coop in the works now). 8-10 weeks hatch to meat or eggs. Did some work locally toward my well project. Hot house still working.. but in the rain this week.. the new catch caught 120 gal of water by the critter cages.. With all the sudden breaks and repair work my plans were nearly derailed. I decide to prioritize the same way I do work type projects and set myself 3-4 primary activities. Work # 1 until you have to wait (dark, rain, parts .. whatever), then roll to #2 and do the same thing, then #3, #4.. Seemed to work well… everything got worked, just not as much progress as if life had not interjected it’s opinion. Have an awesome week folks!
