This is a popular thread on a couple of other forums I’m on.

For my vehicle kit I picked up.

Quality set of flat head screwdrivers and a tool roll. I need to get their Phillips counterpart when they go on sale.

Bungee’s with the ball end for managing my tarps.

Based on a recommendation from a friend.

Non car kit related I picked up 5 pounds of iodized salt and 3 dozen canning lids that were on sale.


Not a huge change but it’s progress

One can never have enough canning lids! During the 'rona when all the TP was gone I had the sense to go look at canning supplies. I bought ALL of the lids in the store. I was glad I did, I can a lot. There were no lids available here for two years.

Something I am working on now:

I am getting ready to expand my rabbitry a little. I'd like to reconfigure and add a few more cages and also put in a concrete floor. The structure I have them in is a hoop style structure under large post oaks. I am also going to have some metal roofing added. Tarps fail pretty regularly with branch drops.


The rabbits are integral. They provide meat and manure for the garden.

When I do this I will also have a pad poured for my generator.

Each of my vehicles now has a "bug out" bag, a tool kit, tow strap, entrenchment tool, jumpers, and a box of auto consumables like antifreeze, motor oil, tranny fluid, brake fluid and windshield washer. My primary defensive weapons are clean and have a 75 rd bandoleer of ammo hanging from the upper sling swivel. Pistol bag with 100 rds of ammo for each handgun. Water and dried food of course.

...I got out my Lion Energy Prowler storage batteries [these are small and can be used to recharge mobile phones, flashlights etc] it had been a year since I gave them the initial charge, now I am topping up the charge then they will go back in storage.

"Prepping on a Shoestring"

Looks like I will be canning peaches today.

I used to put up a bunch of peach preserves. Good eating + great Christmas presents.

Randy, that they are. Peach jam is my favorite.

I am canning salsa tomorrow.

Huckleberries from MT are excellent, as are
blackberries from AL-

Bobster's vehicle-based common sense articles are the best "inclusive" philosophy. Bug-out bags work...
don't forget silver and cash.

Just sent 14 meat rabbits to freezer camp. Mmm, mmm!

As soon as I finish some catch-up here I will start hunting a few squirrels. Massive oak and walnut year over here.
