50 cases!!!!!? If the SHTF, you're gonna eat, but you may not crap for a year!!!! Talk about leaving rest rings on a turd!!!!!We may as well have one of these here now
I picked up a couple more cases of MRES today making my total about 50 cases. Working tonight because were expecting a little ice. Later today after I get off, Im gonna go through my GHB and reorganize it and make a couple changes.

Those pine cones on the ground make fine fire starters !5 cords of oak put away for a rainy day. This is my don't touch it wood. May not have lots of comforts if things devolve but we will be warm.... For a while.

Wouldn't you be better off storing something like Mountain House dehydrated food? It has a virtually unlimited shelf life unlike an MRE.Ha. Got right at 100 cases now. That was my goal. I've got a good supply of fiber also. Just for that reason. My goal was to have enough for 1 meal per person for a year if things got bad. I've got other food put up as well. The MRES are kind of a back up
maybe, but as new as the MRES I have are, and for the amount of money I have in them, I'll stick to them for now.Wouldn't you be better off storing something like Mountain House dehydrated food? It has a virtually unlimited shelf life unlike an MRE.
... mole asses ...
Where do you store such stuff?Ha. Got right at 100 cases now. That was my goal. I've got a good supply of fiber also. Just for that reason. My goal was to have enough for 1 meal per person for a year if things got bad. I've got other food put up as well. The MRES are kind of a back up
Depends on how tightly sealed your crawl space is. Can varmits get in, is it damp, has it flooded in there before, is it easy to move stuff in and out to rotate stock, can it be locked?Where do you store such stuff?
I've found that I'm running out of room in my house, in spare closets & such.
Thought about storing stuff in my crawl space, but wasn't really sure how to go about that...whether stuff would be ok or not...
Plan to do more before next week...Dumped the water we had in the large tote, been a couple years and it had a off taste last year when we had to use it after Matthew.
Moved it a little closer to the house and rebuilt the base it had been sitting on too.
Cleaned a new tote I picked up that had mole asses in it, plan to stack it on the other and use it for drinking and cooking, if needed.
If you're getting ANY moisture in there don't store foodstuffs there. The containers with draw moisture and rot/mold. This could spread upstairs and make you sick or could stick to food containers and do the same.I'm in Clayton and my house sits on a bit of high land.
Not great, but the crawl space doesn't flood or get very wet except in the area right around the entrance.
Can varmints get in?
Uh, yea maybe?
The vents don't seem to have enough space or whatever to let mice or the such in...
IDK really...
Grabbed some water bricks today. I'v got some bottled water and some frozen gallon jugs in a freezer, but water is one area I am really lacking. With these I should have enough for bad storm duty if things go wrong. I'll likely fill the tubs on Sunday if the forecast looks bad. We have three tubs so I am thinking of having one or two covered for drinking and the other(s) for cleaning.
Grabbed a small med kit, Israeli bandage and a Sawyer mini for my Ruger 10/22 takedown bag I've been working on. The Copper Basin allows so much more space for some extra non-gun stuff. Hopefully I can make it a decent get home bag for my trunk.
My mom gave me the generator a little over a year ago and stated it had been run every few weeks to keep things fresh.Gotta fire up my little craftsman generator just in case we lose power tomorrow. It hasn't be started in over a year so it'll likely take a carb cleaning and some coaxing.
I am not too concerned being north of CLT but we'll see.
Sort of a prep. Bought these at WM for $12 for both and they came with Duracell batteries. The headlight is rated for 100L on high and 45L on low. The flashlight is rated at 300L. Tried both out tonight and I was very surprised. The headlight is very bright and easy to see with on low. The flashlight is very bright. I could clearly see the old horse barn 50yds from the house. Also put the flashlight under running water for a min or so just to see and no leaks and still working. For $12 I'm very happy.
Yep, you are prepping to get a bigger truck now right? lol
