So what did you put away this week?

Bought 25 lbs of Winter Cover Crop mix seeds from Johnny's Select Seeds (Winter cover crops | Johnny's Selected Seeds) to 'green mulch' my Hugelbeds:

raised garden bed hugelkultur after two years

- grow a typical garden without irrigation or fertilization
- has been demonstrated to work in deserts as well as backyards
- use up rotting wood, twigs, branches and even whole trees that would otherwise go to the dump or be burned
- it is pretty much nothing more than buried wood

I bought 2 of that same model via Amazon along with a Wilson 1000 Series 3000 Watt Magnetic Mount CB Antenna with 62 1/2 inch Removable Whip. Like the combo so far for our home base station and vehicle.

 

spinning wheels - ashford.co.nz

I just got one of these for $20 at a yard sale!!!!!!(that's what I was so worried might not still be there this afternoon, but it was!) Well mine is single treadle though, it's quite a few years old but it's in really good shape. Came with all the papers(instructions/assembly guide, spinning how-to). We have a wool fleece, carding tools, everything needed for spinning but the wheel. And now we have that too! I just have to figure out WHERE TO PUT IT!

 

Do you have sheep?

 

Congrats V, I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

Don't have sheep, but I am in contact with our area's spinners/weavers guild

 

Hello all, new to prepping and this is the first forum i've joined. I got 4 months of the long term storage food containers from auguson farms and 2 different types of water purification systems, a handheld dual band ham radio, the rest of the equipment for my mobile ham radio and a home patrol scanner this week.

We scratch by paycheck to paycheck, had to figure what order to spend very limited resources on. I also dont have time or space to grow/can, or raise animals. thats why i've started with the auguson farms stuff, costs more per pound, but gives me a little piece of mind while i try to prioritize and figure out a plan.

Think I'm going to sell some things i don't use and put the money toward preps. Just need to keep researching so i can put the money to the best use.

Thanks for all the great posts on this site, very helpful.

 

Welcome to the monkey tree -- my favorite preparedness forum (and the friendliest) along with Calguns.net (due to the shear volume of interesting posts).

 

Welcome!

 

The pool of knowledge Here is both wide and deep...you are in the right place.

 

Welcome and eat what you store and store what you eat.
You may be better served by home canning and bulk purchasing than by buying boxes (or cans) of "emergency food".

 

Excellent--this should be a top priority for people! When the grid goes down, dentistry will not likely be available. Get over your fear of dentists and get that much-postponed dental work done, ASAP---or you were never really serious about prepping anyway.

 

Found a local deal on some spaghetti, rice and Mac& cheese. We got 3 cases of Mac & cheese , 50 lbs of rice and 50 lbs of pasta spent $ 75.00 on it all. Sad to see another store closing .

 

Picked up a Log Jack-Cant Hook today.

 

I found some Federal aluminum case 230gr. .45ACP at Wally World. I'd never seen it before and it was reasonable, so I picked up three boxes for practice. Also picked up more Great Value canned chicken, Swanson's broth, Campbell's cream of mushroom soup and some Margaret Holmes canned vegetables. All that stuff will add diversity to rice and beans as well as pasta's and such.
