Filled my other 30 gallon water barrel. That makes a total of 80 gallons. Ordered a 45 day supply of Mountain House. That should cover the fiancee and I for 3 weeks, plus the two boxes of assorted canned food I have. Two 20# propane canisters already filled, plus the three I am filling today, to run the camp stove and the heater. Throw in the two streamlight rechargables and some candles, fire extinguishers and basic first aid and I think I'll be okay for a month. Much more than I have had in the past, still nothing compared to others. If the insurance company calls back, I'll have my renters and auto insurance taken care of as well. |
While a month's worth of preps might not seem like much compared to others on the SF, it puts you way ahead of the average Joe and will probably cover 95% of the SHTF situations you are likely to face. Good work. David |
Just a thought, but how are you planning on recharging these? I would consider buying some good quality leds that take AA lithium batteries. The batteries last for a long time and the run time is awesome. Figure on one really bright led and a couple of really low output leds for regular work and low observable duties. I am totally with you on everything else. |
I was thinking about more long term. Low output leds are worth having around. I really love my surefires but they eat batteries so quick their usefullness is limited to combat in practical terms. I don't plan on much combat when I am laying low!
