    I made more ammo, about 500 rounds of .45, .223, and 100 of .308. Did a camo job on my rifle, AR and shotgun by taking a vinyl rain poncho [5.00 at walmart] and put it on my guns by using spay adhesive and then matte finishing them. They turned out great. Got extra paper products and some starkist tuna packets as MRE's.

    22 cases of assorted soups, beans, vegetables, fruits and other canned goods, two briskets, packages of lunch meats and four loaves of bread for the freezer. Freezer is about full, need another one. Benadryl, aspirin, cold and flu meds,antihistimines,
    four packs of travel size toothbrushes and toothpaste
    two packs of six toothbrushes for visitors.
    Lots and lots of TP. Did I mention I live with two women, and another two "little women?"

    How about a good sharp knife, an empty pistol, and another helping hand?

    Does paying off a vehicle 3 years early count as putting something away? If so, then I got that done last week. Only one debt to go until my family is debt free (except the house), wooohooo!!

    The wife and I are working hard to get our last CC paid off before the middle of May, when we expect to have our 2nd little one running around the house.

    Sea that looks like fun. So it shoots BBs and not just airsoft balls? What is the velocity? Where did you get it?

    That is huge Kckndrgn! I am on the same plan, but I have about two years left.

    Got it on Ebay. It shoots the 6mm plastic BBs but you can buy barrels and magazines for the steel BBs too, so I understand. The velocity is 450 fps but I understand that this too is adjustable as high as 600 fps.

    We've been on the debt snowball, actively, for 2 years. At the end of May, if we are debt free, we will have paid off $43,000 of debt in 2 years:shock:
    Livin' on less than we make, and lovin' it!!!

    My wife and I got out of debt just a few years ago ourselves; savings is much easier with no debt, but you've got to remember that debt returns with a vengence if you start relaxing. Buying that expensive bug-out vehicle is best left to when you save up for it (the old $3500 pickup truck would probably serve you just as well or better).

    We just put away some canned beans that we got on sale from www.MountainBrookFoods.com. It's about 3 months worth if you eat beans every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    I went to the Amish dry goods store and got in on flour at the old prices so bought 100 lbs of flour, 50# sugar, 50# oatmeal (for us and home made dog food), and 50# of onions. I also stopped at the saddle shop and got a big box of leather remnants, some dye and several belt clips for $20. Then I also got in and got a bad tooth removed so dont have to worry about that any more and got a script for vicodyn for the aftermath but dont figure will be useing it so get to set that back for a time of needing it.
