Would you please add me to your Prepper ping List Please?

[mylife]

Do you have a 20mm anti tank rifle?

[MrB]

Here's the diagram online:

Looks like, in order to add the "mass heater" functionality, you need a chamber (ie, a metal barrel) around the updraft chimney. Then you channel the exhaust through your mass to be heated (gravel bed, adobe, etc), then exhaust it outside.

From my understanding, the exhaust temperature tends to be really low.

If you order milk from canneries do NOT buy dry powder milk. Make sure you order INSTANT milk. There is a huge differen
ce in taste.
We ordered year supply of milk and eggs.
This week I can sirloin steak on sale at samcluhan.
Sam”s has 5 pounds honey for 12.00.
Baking soda vinegar and lemon juice pretty cheap too.
Tarps were 24.00 for 2. 10x16 I think.

[Kartographer]

If I did Momma didn’t raise no child stupid enough to post such on a open forum.

[mylife]

Fair enough!

[Godzilla]

Hmmmmm, I prefer other ways of cooking. However the heater version looks interesting and I may have to research further

Please add me to your list. Thank you

[Quix]

Don’t recall if I’m on your ping list, or not but want to be.

Gotta do all I can to insure I’m on the ‘red’ list with the ptb. Sigh.

[Kartographer]

Done, consider yourself to now be on the domestic terrorist watch list.

[Donnafrflorida]

I don’t know about that watch list but after becoming active during 2008 campain the IR. reopened 2002 and 2004 taxes and hit me with 32000 lien

[Ladysmith]

Gun show starting today. I'll be over there to get a couple ammo cans.

[meeps]

Please also add me to your ping list.

[Seamus Mc Gillicuddy]

Please add me to your list

[Quix]

I assume most FREEPERS are.

If not, they aren’t living up to their name very well.

It’s kind of like being a Christian . . . I hope there’s

LOTS of evidence to convict me of that.

[Mortrey]

Bookmarked.

[Kolb]

Please add me to the ping list!

The fanatical leftist group Southern Poverty Law Center is looking for more law-abiding citizens to label as militias, right-wing-radicals and etc.

They would love to start including preppers in that definition.

In the news this morning:

[LadyBuck]

Donna - obviously you are doing something RIGHT.

:-)

[LadyBuck]

How do you keep eggs from spoiling in long term storage?

We go through tons of eggs, and I have yet to figure out how to add them to my preps.

Thanks!

[mylife]

This guy is screwed!

His pic is all over the net!

Jim, we hardly knew ye.

[blam]

LOL.

I seem to remember when I lived in Texas that a license to own one of those was about $400.00 a year.

[mylife]

$200 for a lifetime in any state (per weapon) for full auto
I think the Lahti is semi auto but falls in the category of “destructive device”

I think the tax stamp is the same, but I am not certain.

You used to be able to buy those via the mail from the back of magazines with ammo for like $265 bucks.
Now the ammo is like $20 a round.

Somehow no one was ever killed with one in peacetime and the world was just fine.

Powdered Eggs or you can coat them with oil:

[Kartographer]

Is it legal for CC?

[mylife]

Or you can pickle them, but its not the same for breakfast ☺

I would stick to powdered eggs.

They aint bad for omelets if you have ingredients to perk them up.

We used to eat them on submarines.

[mylife]

Negatori!

[blam]

"We used to eat them on submarines.

Me too.
USS Jallao (SS-368)

Don’t worry about an egg going bad and you not knowing it. Believe me; in this case the NOSE KNOWS.

It's natures way of telling you somethings wrong.

[Kartographer]

OH well I was hoping! I was going to go out and buy one of those long black dusters just for it!

[mylife]

You’re an old fart! LOL

Thats WW2 class!
Somethings never change though. You have to have provisions that store, and you can stow in a compact environment.

[mylife]

Black dusters "print" when you carry one of those. ☺

[blam]

"Thats WW2 class!"

Yup. Nothing like four 1600 HP Diesel Jimmies running right next to your bed. And the fumes, well, they give your eyes a certain pinkness that some say was(ahem) charming.

[blam]

Thanks. I didn’t know about the mineral oil on eggs.

[tnlibertarian]

If you’re big enough to conceal it, you ain’t gonna need it.

[Kartographer]

Just for the look on the guys face when you pull it out and point it at him. ;-)

[tnlibertarian]

“Excuse me while I whip this out.”

[NTHockey]

>>Just for the look on the guys face when you pull it out and point it at him. ;-)<<

Then you tell him “if you think this is big, you ought to see my hunting rifle.”

[Kartographer]

Then you tell him “If you think this is big, I have to tell you this is my wife’s gun.”

[mylife]

I worked on one diesel.
The USS Bonefish, SS 582

The air just reeks of diesel.
It’s everywhere.
But the 637 class boats left you reeking of Amine.

It is what it is

[mylife]

One of my old shipmates was on SS 582 when the batterys took on seawater and blew..

I never knew until today that there was a picture. I think 4 men were lost.

[ODC-GIRL]

We picked up some awesome hiking socks for the whole family. Also picked up some glow sticks and dozens of eggs! Still have to buy the mineral oil, but plan on dehydrating/powderizing some of them as well. Will be drying some more apples and garlic cloves (not at the same time) soon.

Saw a great idea on this week’s Doomsday Preppers for making fuel bricks from paper and leaves. We’ll be looking into that soon too!

[maine yankee]

Pig boat dolphins !!!!!

[blam]

"I never knew until today that there was a picture. I think 4 men were lost. "

That's terrible.

We were docked in our home port of New London when the USS Thresher went down in April 1963. A heart-breaking day.

[tbw2]

Do eggs have to be hard boiled before being pickled?

[Donnafrflorida]

Not exactly the one
still became president. What did our forefathers say. We pledge our lives, our fortunes. I knew the risks.

[mylife]

Yes
