Does anybody know of a good pair of inexpensiveish night vision goggle(s)?

Hey, what happened to the Prepper ping list that I and others was on?

Define inexpensive, then look at such sites as http://www.pyramydair.com/ or http://www.midwayusa.com/, or http://www.dunhamssports.com/ [this is where I got my night vision at] then there is always Kmart or “Wally-world”

I really suck at the ping list/s. Kartographer put me in TEMP charge, when he is out on family leave for now. So please indulge me in this very minor flaw.

Does anyone have a ball-park idea of how long dry pet food can last if it’s vacuum-packed and stored in pest-proof containers?

Depending on the food itself, it should last longer than people food & that is years.

Decent goggles are expensive no matter what generation they are. Have you worn NVG’s before? Very disorienting.

I am concerned as what to feed dogs after the dog food runs out. They love grass but can not digest it well. If it were cooked it would help. Comments?

There is a book you can get via Amazon [I got it for NO charge] on how to make dog food.

Oh man, they are so tough and disease ridden that I would not let a decent dog near them.

I know there are antibiotics you can get for animals off the shelf that are the same as those for people but without the prescription. Don’t recall which was which - I’ll see if I can find the info again.

Liquid fish antibiotics. Forgot what they are labeled as, just remember that they are excellent quality.

I was thinking further ahead when the Rice and broccoli run out.
