Just ordered Gamma Lids from Amazon.ca ...Amazon themselves is selling them so I get free shipping!

Don't fret over canned goods that are slightly expired. They have to put a date on them legally. They will most likely be good for years to come. The peanut butter I'm eating expired last year... and that isn't sealed nearly as well as a can.

It may lose some nutritional value over time. There was a thread going about expiry dates long ago. Maybe you can search the archives and find it as it gave some Rules of Thumb to follow.

Thanks, I didn't know that they could sell expired goods...

Went to TSC store and got 6 food buckets and three more Gamma lids (same price as Amazon.ca), two12oz tubs of Udderly Smooth cream and 50% off, chicken wire for 50% off, ladies winter thermal wool work socks and husband a pair of unilined Dickie's overalls.

Also got my son some camouflage thermal sweat pants ($14 regular price $48) but those are for Xmas

TSC has their flyer online if anyone is interested http://www.tscstores.com/

Just had our first (for this year) load of firewood delivered. Another 3 cord load next week. Got a young man to stack it for us. He will also pick up a wood splitter , and split and stack the 3 cords (maybe more) of bucked up hemlock that is piled and tarped and 2 year cured, for us. Still have about 2 cords left from last year. I think we are going to be good for wood this year.

Dehydrated Nettles, Strawberries, and raspberries.
8 cord hardwood for my cookstove.

Canned some more berry jam from my raspberries, etc in the garden.

Mostly done relocation. In the meanwhile : 4 x 25L jerry cans of gas, got 2 new metal shelving units installed, organized all our spare food on them. Bought a new fire "resistant" gun vault and will be transferring everything in it hopefully this weekend. Bought a couple flats of water to replace the odd few bottles that were consumed over the last couple months.

Got myself a new 4 pound single jack sledge hammer for those times when one needs a bigger hammer. My old one must have grown legs and walked away with the construction crew we had here, because it has done a disappearing act. This one stays beside the wood stove with the hatchet and machete. Should be able to hang on to this one.

Got a few cans of mountin house stew and pasta. Wife got a dehydrator for ten bucks off a mom swap page on fb. Testing a new crkt 3 finger neck knife. So far love it. Orange paracords terrible btw.

Reloaded some .38 SPCL ammo. Bought some dehydrated food on sale. Rechecked my Trauma kit.

Was gifted a huge roll of plastic sheeting and 4 big rolls of duct tape.

9 pints of home canned pork and 14 pints of home canned chicken breast!!!
Food Basics in my area of Ontario has chicken breasts on for $1.97 a pound...took me 1hr 45 min and my new filet knife to bone and skin them...bones and fat/skin were separated and frozen. Hopefully next week I'll make chicken stock to can and schmalz for the freezer.

Got the rest of our firewood delivered today. That makes 6 cords delivered, 2 cords left from last year, and about 2 cords that needs splitting and stacking. A young, energetic fellow came by yesterday and stacked some of it for us.

No frills has their 15 pack water on for a buck plus deposits. Got seven flats to put in stock.

EMP proof truck project pretty much complete....0 electronics required to drive it. And it's a 2008. 😉
