Been real busy of late. A new MMO called Aion came out, been playing that pretty heavy. Working on the resume too, can’t wait to be free of this crappy job.
After reading a post the other day on Survivalblog.com, I went to the store and got some Tang. I also got one of the other items I was missing from my preps and that was multi-vitamins. I had forgotten how insidious scurvy can be. The one thing you need to remember about vitamin C is that it become inert very quickly when exposed to oxygen. So get some Tang, and pack it up into week-long packages and vacuum seal them.
I didn’t see another item on my list on sale, so I’ll wait. Fiber supplements will be rather nice to have, if all your eating is meat for 3 months. The more I think of how poorly my garden did, the more I worry about feeding myself and my family greens when the poop hits the fan. I think that if your cooped up hiding from roving bands of mutant biker zombies, one of the only pleasures your going to have is to take a nice dump once in a while, right? I doubt my stash of liquor will last too long, so what little entertainment I get might be from my digestive tract.
I’m getting really worried. Things are not looking well at all, and I fear the “zombie apocalypse” might not be too far off. I’m still living my life, I haven’t given up on the world, but I am prepping more and more as my budget allows. With the shortage of primers I am super glad I bought what I did.
I now buy almost everything in bulk. If I need toothpaste, I buy two, and put one aside. Reminds me I’m out of aluminum foil, but I’ll buy a lot of that, the stuff is too damn handy. Buying extra now of the stuff I use now will make it easier to prep. The downfall is you wind up with a lot of food that needs to be inventoried. That’s what the next big task for me will be. I need to see where I am light on preps and focus on getting that squared away. I bet it’s protein, but I’m not 100% sure until I verify it myself.
Mum and “Bill” aren’t prepping much at all. Although they are putting up some extra ammo, the food situation isn’t going to well. To help with this I’m packaging up a care package for them to store. Everything inside will be vacuum sealed and will have a shelf life of at least a decade. This way if something happens to me, they will have enough food to last the a few weeks. When it’s done, I’ll be sure to post pics.
