What have you done to prep today PART 3? (Page 6 of 24)
| The recent goings on in our country have made me focus on getting preps in order. I have kind of slacked off a bit in the past few years. Since Covid I have stocked the medicine cabinet and pantry. More recently I have added to the pantry and fuel supplies (kerosene, propane, and gasoline). I have also finished an AR pistol build and 3D printed a couple of lowers and other parts. I still need to add to my firewood stash. I have lost 35 lbs and need to continue on the fitness journey. I keep trying to do what I can to prepare. Who knows what is next? |

Said why not, and ordered some small rifle plates to supplement my old soft armor stash: https://www.ar500armor.com/ar-freeman-q4.html That's the most tacitalish thing I have ordered in years as I run a 1911 and shotgun

Recently passed my HAM technician test and got my technician license. Bought a Radioddity GD-77 dual band transceiver. Bought a Yaesu FT3DR dual band transceiver. Bought a Westinghouse dual fuel gas/propane 3,650-watt generator. Bought and filled three 22.5 gallon prooane tanks and 8 quarts of crankcase oil. At .24 gallons per hour, that gives me 33 days of run time at 10 hours oer day. Bought an upright Frigidaire freezer and a second Fridgidaire horizontal chest freezer. So now we gave 45 cubic feet of freezer space. Bought a half a cow and a whole hog from a local rancher and had them cut and wrapped by a local meat processor, now we have about 800 pounds of meat in our freezers and a means to keep it frozen should the power grid fail. Small Victory Garden was a success and keeps growing rapidly. Two Niagara grapevines, four rasberry plants, four blueberry plants, and 100 strawberry plants. Red pride tomatoes and cherry tomatoes successfully harvested. Awesome cucumber harvest this year. Walla walla sweet onions and carrots did well. Bumper crops of iceberg and romaine lettuce feeding us all summer. Green, yellow, and red Italian Marconi's sweet pepoers were a success. All in all...not too bad. Have a long way to go. |

Not actually today, but recently. New Chest freezer recently stocked to about 75%. Some canning this year. Most recently stocked up on 50 gallons of gasoline for winter. I feel winter is the most likely time to have power outages so my fuels get burned each spring and summer. New Pepper Sprays to have on hand if needed for the non-firearms proficient. Waiting for venison to be delivered from a good friend who kindly offered me some. Bill |
| With the shortage of ammo and reloading components I was still able to plus up some of my black powder/ muzzleloader supplies to ensure I have target shooting and hunting supplies for the next few years. A few packs of 209 primers, and #11 percussion caps might not be high speed low drag but they will get the job done at both the range, and after wild game. |

I don't think your generator run time is correct. I've got a similar generator and I think a 20lb tank will run it for a day at most.  |

A 20lb tank usually has around 3.5-4 gallons in it. The poster you are quoting is using 100lb tanks which hold around 22 gallons. So, he’s got about 66 gallons (maybe a little more depending on how full his supplier is willing to fill them) of propane. No idea if his consumption rates are accurate or not but he does have a pretty good quantity of propane to use! |

Not sure if the 9x9 area covers enough important stuff and I hate trying to move with steel on. I was never very interested in full size steal plates or heavy armor because I don't really envision myself in a situation where I would need them, or I would have them but not be wearing them. I do have a few sets of retired soft armor for worst case scenario but I figure I can pair my under shirt soft armor with the low profile small freeman set should a situation arise where I feel I need something more. I don't have my set yet but don't consider them much more than glorified trauma plates, which is exactly what I want. I can see myself actually wearing this when doing the very limited amount of training that I do. |

No idea if his consumption rates are accurate or not but he does have a pretty good quantity of propane to use! A tank swapped out at a chain refill place is normally filled to 15 lbs of propane (often there will be in small writing somewhere on the front of the exchange box "Net weight 15 lbs". This is about 3.5 gallons. A tank actually refilled at a proper refill station where your own tank is filled properly until liquid propane comes out the dip tube, and the internal safety shuts off the flow of propane should have 4.5 to 4.7 gallons of propane in it. It will also most likely cost less for the refill of 20lbs than for you to exchange of your tank for one filled to 15 lbs. Exchanging the tank is a good way to get rid of a damaged or out of certification tank however. |

It will also most likely cost less for the refill of 20lbs than for you to exchange of your tank for one filled to 15 lbs. Exchanging the tank is a good way to get rid of a damaged or out of certification tank however. My local refill place charges by the gallon. They will only put 3.5 gallons in a 20 lb tank but will put more than 23 gallons in a 100lb tank. But, you only pay for the actual number of gallons they put in your tanks....not the inflated prices you would pay at an exchange place. Their per gallon price is a little more than if you buy delivered in bulk but right now the rate is about $2.50 per gallon if they fill the small tanks on site and about $1.59 per gallon for them to deliver 200 gallons or more. An exchange place local to me is charging $18 per 3.5 gallons while my local propane company is charging $8.75 to put 3.5 gallons in that same 20 lb tank. I’m guessing stupid people and what they are liable to do with a 20 lb tank is why my local place only puts in 3.5 gallons. Filling a tank to the max in the cold and then bringing that tank inside and allowing it to warm up could be a recipe for disaster. |

No more posting after midnight here. I currently own ten of those tanks. My 22.5 gallon tanks weigh roughly 200 pounds when full. Heading to the local farmers co-op to buy and fill three more of these. My local farmers co-op just received another shipment of tanks, so that's why I am headed there today. My Tacoma can only handle three of those at a time as I estimate that payload in the bed would be roughly 600 pounds. I do have four of the 3.5 gallon tanks but they're used for the gas grill and the two multi-burner "Camp Chef" cookers. |

Or even better, get a 250-500 gallon tank and if it has a wet leg, you can even fill your own propane tanks for much less $$ per gallon. |

One of the best things about propane is that it does not break down over time. It does not become unusable like gasoline or diesel unless the tank rusts through or is punctured in some way. I bought two propane transfer pumps off of EBay that use 12-volt DC automotive cigarette lighter plugs. I have trained in using these pumps to transfer propane from one tank to another in the field. I eventually want to get to a point where I have several GM squarebody carbuerated trucks with dual-fuel gasoline/propane conversions using forklift-type propane tanks. Sure, the range isn't great but it's a lot better than nothing. The point being, in the event of a true SHTF scenario, there will be tens of thousands of abandoned tanks of LPG laying around will essentially be a free energy source that doesn't decompose or oxidize. So I need tanks that I can move on a moment's notice. The 200-pound (22.5-gallon) and 10-gallon (80-pound) tanks are the biggest I can move without a forklift or a crane. |

Picked up about $3500 worth of bullets and brass for under $500 at an estate sale. I’ve been sorting through it all today and gave all the 416 Rigby ammo to a buddy. Picked up 2 cases of rolled oats 1 case of pinto beans and 2 cases of black beans from the Mornons. yesterday. Stocked up another 30 pounds of cat litter and another 6 months worth of food for the little monster. Added 2 more cases of bottled water. Tomorrow I am grabbing another empty pallet to stack cases of #10 cans on as I have now broken it down and Paletize it by rough types ( rice and beans, veggies, soups, fruits, proteins, baking, breakfast stuff, cheeses-milks-fats, misc). |

Do you have a link to the propane pump you have? Thanks They're not very fast, only about 2 liters per minute, but they work just fine in a pinch. I didnt like the hoses that came with the pumps, so I replaced them with US-made high pressure hoses and new fittings from an RV shop. I also replaced the electrical cables with 10-gauge AWG multi-strand copper conductor cable with an inline fuse, also from an RV shop. At some point soon, I plan on getting a larger industrial LPG transfer pump that runs off 220-VAC current available from one of my generators. I have been wanting to try the pumpless method with just a single hose with male fittings on both ends and hot water/icewater baths, but I haven't yet gotten that far. |

When I fill my smaller tanks from the 500 gallon tank, I first pull a vacuum on the small tank with a HVAC vacuum pump. It helps fill a little easier/quicker once I connect the fill kit. Obviously, that doesn’t work if all I want to do is top off an already partially full smaller tank. |

So I decided to begin addressing several of our major weak-points in our preps. Got two more Sawyer All-In-One water filtration kits from my local Cabelas. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/sawyer-all-in-one-emergency-water-filtration-system I had enough Cabelas points and a Cabelas gift card to get one of them at no cost. I also purchased four food grade plastic buckets and two filter screens that perch on the top and drilled holes for the filter drains. These will augment our two Katadyn Hiker Pro's. Also ordered an Anytone AT-D878 UV hand held tier two DMR HAM radio complete kit with heavy duty Speaker Microphone, high gain antenna, an extra high capacity battery, and a heavy duty case: https://powerwerx.com/anytone-atd878uv-dmr-dual-band-handheld-gps-roaming I also bought a Radioddity GD-77 DMR: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0749LHXFQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I really need to get my poop together insofar as water and comms. |

Not a lot today. Put the bulletss and other components I scored last week in their proper places. Kept sorting through all the assorted #10 cans on the shelves to keep making cases of like items and managed to create a case each of cheese powder, chili Mac and powdered milk. Thanksgiving day I will inventory all my random cans of stuff in advance of any Black Friday sales to see if I can find some steaks to complete more cases. |

Began taking practise tests on QRZ.com prepping for the HAM General license. Finished second reading of HAM general license exam prep book and finished mathematics workbook. |

Since I had to run into town for a client meeting I stopped by the Bishops Storehouse and picked up 2 more cases of rice, a case of beans and a case of oatmeal to further increase food stocks. I was chatting with a friend and her hubby is on board so Saturday they will make their first run to the Bishops Warehouse in their town. Ordered a case of the Augason Farms pancake mix. I organized and cleaned a little more in the basement and even fit in a 2 mile walk where I pushed as hard as I could (I am still rehabbing from a 73 day Covid hospitalization). Tomorrow I will inventory all my odd #10 cans and make a spreadsheet so that I know the exact quantities I need of each so that I can make full cases and then put them in the appropriate pallets and add them to the permanent inventory. Hopefully I will find a few Black Friday sales to help with this. |

Not saying it means anything in particular but it is curious. |

Went to two local Wal-Mart's and hit the jackpot!! One had 22LR in stock so I bought all 14 boxes of CCI Quiet 22LR The other had canning jars back in stock! I grabbed six cases of Quart Wide mouth. There was another 5 cases but I'm kinda light on extra cash right now. Wish I could of bought them all

I finally killed a mora knife after I think 3 or so years of beating the hell out of it. So I went and bought 2 more. Also found a box of 22 short. Should turn my bolt 22 with van into a pellet gun more or less. Hopefully picking up a tool chest today for christmas. Going to finally organize the gun room in a meaningful way |

Some of the first items from Black Friday sales came in today which allowed me to make full cases #10 cans of identical items. So now I have 5 more complete cars of: Carrots Blueberries Bell peppers Buttermilk biscuit mix Onions I should have more arriving tomorrow. The really nice thing is that the space frees up on the gorilla shelf where some of these odd amount cans are stored will become the Permenant storage for all my PPE, CBRN and other protective/decon gear. |

Going to finally organize the gun room in a meaningful way I have several various Mora blades (probably more than I need) but grabbed a couple more on Amazon to add to my stash. 9.99 For an OD green 511. I am not sure how affected they are by the supply chain disruptions of COVID so I figured I would grab a couple while they are still cheap. It is possible the market is beyond flooded with them and we will never see a shortage but why not -right? |
