This Week's Prep

1. Bought 4 more Canadian Maples. Silver hoard is up to 37 oz. in Maples and Eagles.

2. Installed my rain barrel to my downspout. This now gives me a reserve supply of water that is off the grid. I have a Platypus filtration system; combine that with a little bleach and I now have a post-apocalyptic water supply.

3. Went to the range and "patterned" my Remington 870 shotgun. It's very accurate and I had a good time. I'm increasing my supplies of 12 gauge ammo, and now have a range from slugs to #8 birdshot.
