Sips coffee, I was telling ratdog how normally I offer 2-fers, I must be feeling generous today. I’m not always in such a mood so take advantage while you can. When preparing for whatever that may come at us, I’m telling ya right now in no uncertain terms, I won’t be eating my boots like they did at Valley Forge, what happened at Morristown was even worse. Something else I won’t be consuming is G’damn bugs. You preppers out there, save yourself some dollars, those survival foods are ok for the lazy, I may be many things, lazy isn’t on that list. Why those items are so damn expensive? shipping can be a reason, the containers and packaging adds to the cost. Printing on the packages also adds to the price. They talk about 25-year shelf life, well that’s cool, now tell me something I don’t know. Something you may not know.
Depending on the machine you buy, you can also seal jars without a lot of the canning process. That’s not a Malar bag, one time use only. Get the big bags, custom cut to your needs. Whether you’re sealing beans, bullets or bandages those clear bags work just fine.
Some machines can run well over a thousand bucks, you don’t need to spend that of money, there’s good machines well under that amount and work just fine. “When the power goes out, never to return, what ya gonna do then Chance hmmm?”. What I was taught, I’ll count my blessings, then I’ll go out to the front yard. Late in summer, that lake doesn’t get above 43 degrees, deeper you go, the colder it gets, PVC pipe is waterproof, comes in different sizes for your needs. Use your environment wisely. “well wonder if I go full FJB an cannot remember where I put stuff?”. Engage the KISS effect.
Keep it simple stupid
A very old form of communication works, a tree marker for an example
It’s this way joe
Say there’s a pile of sandstone, who would pay a attention to a quartz rock laying by it. a marker could be anything. Your funds, you keep your funds all in the same basket, no?, survival items should be viewed the same way.
Be honest now, do I or do I not, have the best MRE’s?.
The original MRE, easy to do, so much better than health bars in wrappers, wrappers come with problems, they make noise, if on the move
noise is not your friend.
