    Got me some Bates USMC Winter boots (Think they might be too big got around a half inch from my tip of the toe to the tip of the boot.)
    Wiley X CAG Gloves
    An Emergency repelling belt.
    Have some Sunglasses on the way.

    If that is all the room they have then I would say they are a little small.
    Rule of thumb applies here that is you should have at least a thumb’s with between your big toe and the toe of the boot.

    Thot you'd like it -- Besides, yours is OLD now. (This one is a Gamo CFX.)

    So far (before I even had the scope dialed in) one has been radically surprised by a near miss at about 30 yards. I did NOT know cats had JATO bottles on them.

    Well, don't know if this really counts as "putting something away" but I just did some maintenance on the families mini-van. This would be our main get out of dodge vehicle until I get my dads old truck. Spent about 5 hours workin' on it, had to replace some bolts that Ford decided to use that are defective, while doing that I changed the plugs and oil. The van runs much better now and initial driving is showing a 1-2MPG increase.

    Oh yeah, and we rotated some of our canned goods out and replace them with new ones.

    I got my back pay for my promotion at work, and rolled it into my preps.
    Ten cans of Chef BoyArdee for a "5 for $1" deal at Publix.
    8 pound can of H4895 rifle powder, for the .30-30 and surplus rifles.
    2 pounds of Bullseye powder, for the .45ACP. The Unique is far too 'sooty'.
    1 more pound of H110, for the .22 Hornet. Shoots tighter in my rifle than the Lil Gun I was using.
    300 bullets for the .30-30, two hundred are 110 grain Hornady Spire SP, one hundred are Speer 125 grain TNT.
    100 new unprimed brass for .30-30. Been having problems with using my old lever rifle and 'range found' brass - my Savage M340 boltie has a tight chamber! My Lee dies are only neck sizers - got an RCBS full-length die set.
    Got three thousand primers - 1K of Large Pistol, 1K of Small Pistol, and 1K of Small Rifle - the bubbas are reloading their hunting rifles, so the 1K boxes of LR were sold out.
    Got a bunch of other reloading-related things too - with the factory prices getting silly/stupid, it pays to 'roll my own'.
    I also found that while Sportsman's Warehouse has a far better selection of rimfire ammo, Wally's still has far better prices.
    Wally's Winny .22LR Experts: $13......SW's Winny .22LR Experts: $19!
