So what did you put away this week?

Kathy,
I am not the same, old man here and mostly reading, not much posting.
I got in some freeze dried broccoli, ordered more freeze dried fruit and items, canned some pickles and squash and bought more can goods, and ammo.

 

Got a bunch of seeds from Victory Seed Co.

Eggplant, broccoli (2 kinds), Asparagus, three varieties of lettuce, three varieties of cucumber, five kinds of pepper, three varieties of tomato, and because we really love 'em - Texas Cream Peas.

Yep, gonna try my hand at backyard gardening.

 

A new house

 

Reading glasses in strengths of 1.25 - 3.50. Purchased 20 pr. for future needs/bartering. Gonna be tough when our aging eyes can't read the survival books/manuals because there is no more reading glasses to be had. I spent exactly $20 on these, purchased from local Dollar Store. Also got several eye glass repair kits for putting back.
Plan on going back next paycheck to purchase basic cleaning supplies, they are much cheaper at the Dollar Store.

 

Just got a 800 watt DC to AC inverter for running small household appliances from car during power outages. Can't afford a generator, and it occured to me that I was driving one.

 

This is a good time to get tablets,crayons,pens ,and such since back to school items are on sale right now,i bought several of each item also dont forget playing cards,books & coloring book ,boardgames ,hopfully there be some time to relax when TSHTF these items will help people especially younger ones in troubled times.and could be barter items in the future.

 

Dehydrating tomatoes, celery, chanterelles we picked, and today more tomatoes. I still get amazed over the quantity of dried food you can stuff in a quart jar! And besides taking up such a little amount of space, it weighs almost nothing!

 

A case of hole punch feed

 

If you look in a large safe you will find a large number of gas operated long distance hole punches. They eat cartridges of varying size. Spiting out the husk when done.

 

Sorbent systems stuff and some OPSEC but not as much as I wanted.

 

Cool. Not in the north hills is it?

 

Haha, nope. Tucked away in the south hills. Mount Lebanon area.

 

Mount Lebo is a nice area. I am friends with a few paid guy there(firemen).
