For preppers in the Louisville area, Shooter’s Supply has .22LR, but they are limiting you to a single 50-round box per day (unless you purchase a .22 firearm, in which case you are allowed to get 200 rounds). They have CCI Blazer for $2.98 a box.
While it’s not much, it is available if you live or work near the Westport Road area. A friend of mine works right up the road, so he stops in every afternoon and picks up a box.

My son-in-law is having such a hard time getting .22 for a decent price that he's doing a strategic drawdown on my stash, but I'm only going to let him have 1000 rounds.
Good thing I bought so much for Y2K. ;)

Now you’ll be marginally less-likely to crack your slab.

I chopped some wood this week in my effort to get back in shape after a lazy winter.
My conclusion...what good is it being a prepper if you aren't in great shape?
And I was in pretty good shape last fall. Now...not so much.
I found a fallen tree in the woods behind my property (wetlands) and will spend at least 30 minutes a day chopping from now on. Plus getting back into Crossfit and running and riding the bike.
I am gasping for air now but in a month or so, I will be back in shape (and I am 65).
I challenge all my brother and sister Freepers to join me.
Start slowly and build steadily.

If you know how much ammo you have, you don't have enough.

Used book stores often have encyclopedia sets for cheap. The best ones are before the mid-60s. I've got a 1962 set of Encyclopedia Britannica. It actually has diagrams/formulas that are useful for technical subjects.

I almost have enough.
Now all I have to do is remember where I put it all.

If you have too much ammo to bug-out with, you’ve got plenty.

I constantly find partial boxes of .22LR. There was a box with about 30 in it that I found in my cheese press. WTH? Why did it get there?
Every load of laundry winds up with at least one .22LR bouncing around in the dryer.

If bugging out includes an 18 wheeler.....

This has been a long, hard winter, even here in the South. Oh, I could have bundled up in my wool coat and got out and walked on a daily basis; but I got cold and depressed. - Frankly, our state of mind is the big thing that we have to pay attention to. - We started in with the Y2K thing, storing and prepping. Then, when that wasn’t so bad, we eased up and started using some of the stuff we had stored. - So, now that winter seems to be releasing its strangle hold a bit; it’s time we bucked up and snapped back to attention. I’m starting small; simply walking the porch, making multiple rounds. Better than nothing.

You can come help in the garden. I've been getting a great workout over the last month or so.

Start slow and go easy. Build steadily and gently...or you will burn out and stop.
Add on a little bit when you feel stronger.
Best of luck!

Victor Davis Hanson wrote a great article on the physical fitness benefits of pruning and gardening (
The Rural Way). Wonderful exercise! And the fresh air ain't bad either.

Meh...a protracted skirmish is death. Gen. Washington understood that.
