Preppers’ PING!!

[Jane Long]

I see commercials (mostly on BlazeTV and FNC) for stove-in-a-can. These would certainly come in handy for folks affected by Sandy. I’m planning on ordering some for my prep supplies.

Today and this weekend is a GREAT time to stock up on cheap halloween candy.

While candy is not really seen as “survival food” thinks like snickers bars and any chocolate candy with peanut butter is a very good energy dense well stored “bug out rations” than can be used to stretch the better survival foods.

I’m thinking of buying some Junk Silver. Having some on hand when the Apocalypse hits would makes sense and it holds it’s value relatively well.

Last weekend, the kids took me shopping with them to the local asian market (son-in-law is first generation American, parents from Cambodia).

I will be buying some bulk stuff there, because of the prices.

Not everyone will like all of the items available, but rice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, etc.. were cheaper than anywhere I've seen so far, and they tend to come in bulk containers.

"To Start things off CVS has Dak canned hams 2 for $5.00"

LOL - every time someone posts this, I run in to check, and either 1) The sale is over, or 2) They're out of stock.

Okay I'll try ONE last time. :)

I bought one of these.

I decided to double my gasoline storage after seeing the folks in NJ and these polyethylene containers will work great. They do not have the EPA vapor vent spouts so they are "not recommended" for gasoline storage but, I'll under-fill it by a gallon to allow some room for expansion and keep it in a cooler spot in my shed. I have a bunch of 5 gallon poly tanks but decided to bump up my store.

Greetings, Everyone!

I wanted to share with folks what’s been happening here at The Bunker in the way of preparedness - especially in the Anything Can Happen Department.

As most everyone knows from the recent nuptials, Sarge and the Bride have The Grrrlz, Brainiac and Jailbait, who live with us. The son, Maniac, was living with his family in El Paso.

Was.

It seems that Maniac, his wife Mocha, and their toddler girl Little Diva, were staying with family while they built a nest egg. HER family threw them out with barely any prior warning. So after some kitchen-table decisions, Sarge and The Bride got them moved here to The Bunker. It took a four-day trek across five states, with one vehicle limping all the way, but we got them here safe and sound.

Now, we have a situation. Five adults, a teen, a toddler, two cats and a dog are now under one roof. Furniture has been relocated, the place has been GI’ed, appliances and storage space reorganized, food and menus replanned, and future ops discussed.

It REALLY helps if your new tribe members enjoy handyman chores, fixing and building things, creative cooking, campfires in the backyard, and socializing as a group.

We have upcoming issues to discuss at the next Tribal Council. More later!

Here’s something all preppers should see...

Of course, now that they have shown the whole world how this model works, it might not be the best choice, but it will give you ideas as to how to build your own...

Just wanted you know that I sometimes came by to read what you and the others posted.
Your threads have been very useful.
Thank you

Something I haven’t seen discussed much and is very viable for water... a rain barrel or cistern. During a hurricane it’s get filled up toot-sweet. A strainer plus coffee filter plus iodine or bleach and you have potable water. Or use clear plastic water bottles on the roof.

Cool, cheap stove made out of bricks:
