Well, here's a 50 round box for 18.99. Multiply by 10, lol. I found another website with the same deal, but they were sold out.

Ironic that you mentioned an SKS. I woke up this morning thinking about them, grabbed my phone, and started Googling them. They're fairly low cost I see. I don't know anything about them, and I own an AR so I don't really need one. It seems like it could be handy though especially since they're not costly. I haven't researched the ammo yet though, and the last thing I need is yet another firearm that can't use the same ammo as my other menagerie. If nothing else it'd be a darn nice bartering item.

 

Happy shooting, friend.

 

 

As another prep today, my Kershaw Leek malfunctioned so I immediately printed out a warranty form, took it to the post office, ticked off the clerk (sorry, Bob), and sent it in for warranty repair. I then went to Walmart looking for a substitute Leek since I've seen them there before, but they didn't have any so I'll be Leek-less for up to six weeks. Sad. Anyway I did pickup a new pair of sunglasses. Broke my old pair earlier this week. The drive home was nice and UV free.

Cheaperthandirt is a cool website to buy ammo, & cheap. Too bad, that they don't ship to Canada. If they did, i'd be all over it. Like a druggie needing a fix.

[P210SIG 782]

Today i picked up 5 50lb bags of dog food that i got on sale for 1/2 price.

[Shawn 10]

Been reading " When Hell Breaks Loose..." by Cody Lundin. (Very informative book, I would recommend to anyone.) Bought a small used generator for $75 the other day, and a good running chainsaw this morning for 30 bucks. Picked up a couple Homer buckets with lids from the local Home Depot, and I'll get a couple pounds of dry goods when I go grocery shopping later. Also caught a great deal at Wally World recently and scored generic Aspirin, Acetominophen, Benadryl, ibuprofen, and bottles of alcohol for 88 cents each.

[Mudbass7 10]

Bought 7 1200 calorie mainstay bars and 4 3600 calorie bars

[devildog 10]

Quite a few things accomplished since my last post.

 

I acquired an SKS from a coworker. Finally found some magazines that seem to function perfectly. Just disassembled the thing and am cleaning all the pieces up.

 

The wife came home from shopping with some #10 cans of dehydrated fruit and some honey. (She has a sweet tooth-LOL!) Also I ordered some canned meats from Deal Sgt. 28 oz cans for 11.99 and they guarantee 15 years storage. Seemed like a good deal to me....ordered 6 cans to see what they are like.

[tinderwolf 11]

[Rod 10]

Ordered four #10 cans of butter powder and two #10 cans of instant chocolate pudding for the long term bulk storage lockers. Rice gets boring after awhile!

[P210SIG 782]

Yesterday a buddy of mine had some 1/4 inch thick by 3 inch wide by 12 inch long ArmOx steel that were cut off from Armour plates. I desided to use a grinder to make afew knives with them. It was fun making them for the first time. Not sure how they will hold out in a long term use though, time will tell. I'll post afew pictures later this week. When i'm done.

[Shawn 10]

Got a kerosene heater for free from a coworker. Planning on checking out a shotgun this weekend with the wife.

[P210SIG 782]

[awake 10]

ordered 300 gallons of propane. Taped my ankle, laced up my boots and made it up the ridge behind bol. Scouted out the game trail. Found fox, deer, turkey and elk tracks. The elk are protected (darn it).

[Regulator5 11]

Added 2 20 ft paracord ropes, 2 paracord rifle slings and ordered some more paracord bracelets for the kids. Thanks Tinderwolf for the quality.

[Thumper 10]

Picked up a spiffy little flashlight this evening at WalMart, its a waterproof LED light that will run on AA, AAA, or C batteries. Not bad for 12 bucks, I thought. Packed away some more food and now I'm gonna relax and make something out of paracord.

[ImBuggingOutMan 10]

Went ahead and reassembled the mossberg after breaking it down completely, stripping the previous owners brush paint job, and giving it six coats of flat black heat resistant paint. Looks new other than the beat up stock and forend.

[tinderwolf 11]

But they CAN be hunted...for a stamp..lo.

 

Elk in Virginia? Were these transplanted ?

[Regulator5 11]

Alot of Eastern states have been reintroducing elk to the forests. I hope they gain a solid foothold before TSHTF...lol.
