Listed Glock 10mm/.45acp parts and tool for sale as well as Feather .22lr and Feather 9mm barrels and shrouds.

My goal this week is to list Remington 700 mags, 870 parts, 1100 parts and maybe a new Benelli barrel for sale. Downsizing. Also learning photbucket and posting pictures (maybe good skills for survival in this high tech world).

Some might not think of this as a prep but I introduced my kids to safely using a BB gun this weekend at the lake.

Sounds like a great prep to me.

Ordered some lighter-weight 160-grain bullets for working up loads in the new .45LC snubnose.

Also trying some new buckets for storage - 4 gallon square buckets instead of the normal 5-gallon round ones, just in an effort to minimize wasted space. (fwiw on those - http://www.uline.com/BL_8172/Square-Pails ) They're a little more expensive to use, but it's a tradeoff imo - fewer gallons stored per dollar, but more gallons stored per square foot. Can't comment on them as I haven't used any of them yet; have the buckets, bags and fillers, but am waiting on a fresh order of 02 absorbers which should be here any day.

Finalized my robots, my plague infested rat population, my laser-gun equipped drones, my cloud seeding UFOs and my Lighting bolt powered negative air hyperbolic chamber to survive my own creations while they plague the rest of you.

After Armageddon is finished, I will release the Cracken with time-release virus to clean up the mess, and then after the virus gets him, enjoy the rest of my life on a quiet, peaceful Earth.

Used (discontinued) Taurus 450SS2C; five shot, 2 3/4" ported barrel. Short barrel and porting are the reasons for the lighter bullet experimenting; that short of an acceleration space combined with ports over the last 3/4" inch or so bleeding off even more, makes me want to try lighter bullets & faster powders.




Taurus has dropped the gun from production, but they still have the spec sheet on their website:

Wish it was still available. Speedloaders for the old Charter .44 bulldog work perfect with it, hogue makes grips for it (I don't really like those ribbed grips; fortunately the "Tracker" series grips fit it), and it's in one of my favorite calibers. They used to make the same gun as the model 415 in .41 magnum, so even with the thinner cylinder walls of the .45LC, it should be relatively stout. Only time will tell...

Made up another emergency heater for my sister and brother-n-law. I've seen a few mention mr heater buddy propane heaters on here...here's my alternative.

I take a 10 to 15 dollar dolly (hand truck - 2 wheel cart), rubber tarp strap a 20 pound propane bbq cylinder to the bottom, mount a ventless propane heater 8 to 10 inches above the bottle, attach them with a 1 to 2 foot flexible gas line and I have a portable heat source I can roll anywhere needed. You can often find used heaters for sale, or for around 2 hundred bucks you can buy a new 30,000 btu blue flame with adjustable thermostat. Blue flame work best for heating space and areas, brick heaters work best at heating objects. It's not much more expensive than the screw to the 20 pound bottle catalytic heaters, and is much safer to use in the house and sleep around.

I keep several 20 pound bottles around for grilling, fish and turkey cookers, camping stove and lanterns, I use them with a hose tree that allows 3 items hooked to one bottle. For about 60 bucks you (or the guy you buy your gas from) can make up a refill hose with valves and adapters to let you fill your 20 pound bottles off your homes 325 to 1000 gallon propane tank.

Picked up a couple sheets of osb and plywood, restocked on different length deck screws and nails. Finally took my well cap off and modified it to allow me to leave my emergency hand pump (pvc pipe with a foot valve) inside the well casing.

Bought a 5 oz Silver Bar.

[Lugi]

Bought some johnson & johnson surgical dressing.

[jarubla]

Bought some canned/dry food @ Kroger -- gotta love coupons (spent $60 and saved $140)

Dehydrated some fruit leather

Bought the better half a Bosch mixer (she is big into baking), she has been drooling over one for a few years now, and her kitchen aid was not cutting it any more. She can now make 4 loaves of bread in one go.

Tomorrow we head to Emergency Essentials to check out dehydrated veggies, powdered eggs, an electric wheat grinder and some water barrels.
