Preppin’ Projects

There is always another project in the works and right now I’ve got several brewing. Preppin’ is pretty much a part of my daily routine which makes things a lot easier to keep up with because once you get a little behind. It’s difficult to catch up.

The weather was a little nasty outside yesterday so I spent some time changing Stealth Survival a little and added a new feature called Popular Posts by Riverwalker. Hopefully it will load a little faster for my readers on 56k dial-up.

I also made a homemade bore snake for my Mossberg 500A shotgun. I’ll post the details on that later. It’s a quick and easy fun project that’s a fairly inexpensive process.

Got my brother in law working on getting me a new food grade barrel so that I can build me a new UDS (ugly drum smoker) smoker barrel to replace the old one that cratered.

Made a swap for a cartridge slide, a double speedloader pouch, three speedloaders, and a box of shells for my S&W .357 Magnum. It cost me about $10. I got it from an ex-deputy that didn’t need the stuff anymore. He got 5 old VHS movies in exchange and since I’d already seen them figured it was too good a deal to pass up.

I also managed to pick up a couple of extra plastic five gallon water cans. These are going to the son in law to help shore up his water storage since mine is already in good shape. I’m going to trade them for some brisket till I get my new smoker put together. My daughter says I’m too easy. That may be true but I do love to eat brisket!

There are also a couple of side jobs lined up that hopefully will generate a few extra dollars for some additional preps. Plus I plan on helping out with a big charity function type event on the first weekend in March with my nephew. It's some kind of bike thing between San Antonio and Houston and they need an escort and room for spare bike stuff. My 15 passenger van fits the bill.
It looks like it’s going to be a busy couple of weeks.

Staying above the water line!

I think you hit the nail on the head when preppig become routine as a active part of your daily life it's more of a joy and not a overwhelming chore! Great post river!

It's a lot easier when it's part of your normal routine. I barter, trade, prep, and blog without even realizing it sometimes. It just seems normal. Thanks.
