So what did you put away this week?

Sadly a friends grandfather passed away last week, she found a box with assorted ammo and gave it to me. 2 boxes of 444 marlin, 3 1/2 boxes of 44, 1 box 357, 2 boxes of 9mm and 357 birdshot, half a brick of 22lr, assorted 12gauge. Now I just need more guns to shoot it out of!

 

I don't know if this qualifies as "putting away" but I started recycling an older style overhead garage door from one of my properties to another where I'm using it to build glass windowed hangar doors on the workshop where those "TOM's" will start to grow next year. I also recycled a couple chucks from some old drill presses to use, probably over the winter, to build a specialty coil winder that will double as a glass lathe. I mentioned some sensitive technology in another thread for alternative energy sources...

 

Hmmm. I've been at this for a while but since I'm new here...

Local soopahmarkets had 20lb bags of rice on sale for 7.99 so I walked out with five of 'em.

Yes I paid for them....

Have an order into the local LDS cannery for a boatload of No. 10 cans, o2 absorbers & dessicant packs.

More 45acp and 9mm.............'cause I might buy a gun someday.

5 liters of 100 proof vodka for making black elderberry tincture. We also make 2 qts of Dakin's solution every 60 days and dispose of the old stuff. Dakin's solution is used for flushing out a wound.

Local Wal-Mart is now stocking emergency food stuff. I picked up their "Emergency Storage Dinner Pack"
200 servings of food, 30 year shelf life, about $62.00. Also in #10 cans, dehydrated bell peppers, apple and banana slices, butter powder, and a chocolate flavored milk substitute.

 

Please explain just a bit more and include your recipe. Thanks

Recipe probably appropriate for "survival medicine" thread, instead of here.
