What did you do to prep this past week?

This past week has been interesting.

Facebook announced they were banning all groups which provide for private sales of firearms. Many on Facebook that have utilized these groups as a way to trade and sell guns are very upset. I am one of them. I have made many deals with local people and it has been a great way to network and connect. There are other methods of course but none which were as easy and effective as Facebook groups.

In know many are not a fan of Facebook and that includes me. I am constantly evaluating whether to stay on the site or not. I wish there was an alternative.

I placed an order with Emergency Essentials getting some Mountain House freeze dried food. Also ordered a Mountain House “Just in Case” bucket along with a pack of 12 CR123 lithium-ion batteries on Amazon. I feel real good with my efforts in food storage lately.

Lastly – I test fired two new firearms I acquired. One was the custom Ruger 10/22 I put together and another a CZ P-09. Article being worked on for the 10/22 and eventually on the CZ after I get more rounds through it. So far – the CZ is phenomenal!!

Your turn!

    Just one more reason to get rid of Facebook. I keep it logged off and rarely sigh in, but thinking I will just cancel the account. No use supporting something that opposes everything I stand for.

      Your right JAS. I am now rarely using it just to connect with a few people. I signed up with MeWe and joined several local gun selling/trading groups. Looks pretty good.

    Is it me or does it seem there are some who will do what ever they can to suppress gun sales including losing a portion of their customers?

      It is true, but we can never get enough of the gun people to stand up and join the fight to make a difference. If every person that owned a gun, cancelled their AOL account immediately and wrote the media and AOL as to why they did, maybe they would realize how big of a force we are. It’s like buying American made. Everybody complains about all of the jobs going overseas, but when it comes time for them to shop, they want to buy the cheapest products and that means foreign products. You can not have it both ways.

    This week resulted in 10 cans soup, 10 cans fruit, 10 cans chili, 12 cans peas, corn, green beans. Picked up at a garage sale 2 nice knives, tent, tarps, rope, some assorted ammo. Went ahead and got the Walther 22 on sale. Wife got more essential oils and watched some more videos. Added 5 gallons of water and 2 cases bottled water and 2 gallons of bleach. Picked up some band aids, toothpaste, toothbrushes, first aid cream and OTC meds for colds, sinus, and stomach maladies! Coup de grace was 3 free cast iron skillets and Dutch oven the neighbors had but didn’t want! Love Aldi and Dollar Tree! Keep Looking UP

    For those who might not know, there’s armslist.com as well. I’ve found some good deals and my buddy has used it to sell a few of his firearms in the past.

    Picked up 80 pounds of chicken leg quarters at .25 per pound from a local grocery chain having a two day sale on them. Freezers are loaded.

    John, Since you are going to build in the boonies, have you ever thought about building a Dome. They are really easy to build and don`t cost a lot. You can make the frames at home and take to the site and put up.Also when you put your sewer in, you can also fix it up for Mathene gas to heat and cook with.

    If you want something with a lot of protein, Buy YEAST. You know the kind you bake bread with. Yeast, also has all your vitiman B , and a lot other things that your body needs.

    Never use facebook. I would suggest when you drop them you express why-so they realize how many people they are losing.
    This week we stocked up on instant coffee as its usually $10.49 for 12 oz Maxwell house.This week it was $7.99. Used freeze dried foods from Emergency Essential that were 10 years old and everything came out tasting delicious. Lightning

    When I was a youngster there were two common sayings: Kilroy was here (from WWII GIs I suppose), and fool’s names and fool’s faces are often found in public places. The latter would seem to fit much of Facebook. Never forget that PayPal led the way for Facebook.

    What I prepped for this past week was I picked up some excellent condition “Belleville” military boots (with zipper) for my wife for $15 at the Thrift Store. Also at the Thrift Store I purchased 3 100% Wool Sweaters for $4 each. I also came across an early model (non-collapsible version) of the Volcano Stove for $8 (retailed for $99). It was in really great shape. I just needed to wipe it out and then I painted the inside with black Rust-Oleum heat paint. Also purchased from there were 2 Coleman white gas stoves for $10 each. It’s a gold mine what you can find at Thrift Stores. So far it’s been a good week.

    Do I NOT, do my research. I go buy facts and not feelings. Not on the “They say” bulI corn. I am not perfect and for sure do not know it all, but I do have a good record of calling the shot. Ted Cruz’s first IOWA winning speech. His first words: God bless the great state of Ioawa and To God be the Glory! Whether your a Christian or not. Who do you want leading this country after so many years of decay and moral corruptness. Trump the money man? Or Ted Cruz through dark trials of recovery?
