What have you added to your preps this week?

Old fashioned style " Sunlight " bar laundry soap for use with washboards.

Apparently washboards don't do well with traditional laundry soaps, and the Columbus Washboard company
suggested I get the sunlight bar soap to extend the life of the washboard.

Home Hardware , Walmart, and Amazon carry them.

Neat that they rec'd something they don't carry (on our website, anyway).
Curiosity: What did they say laundry soaps do, and is "traditional laundry soaps" talking about bar soaps designed for wash boards or conventional dry or liquid laundry detergent?

Did they say anything about Dawn (my go-to) or pine sol?

Picked up a Gerber Crucial and LED flashlight combo pack for an uncle for Xmas, great price.. few other things for Xmas well.. prepping is more than SHTF etc.. saving $$ by shopping all year. Plus adds to his EDC or Car kit

Post here your latest additions, food, water, ammo or gear for example, and hopefully you will help motivate the slackers by doing a little showing off! 😀

"Knowledge" lol but seriously i been just buying canned goods an stuff but i seen youtube video that stated that you shoud enjoy the food you get because the less chang your stomic gose throgh the less likely your stomic will react baddly .

NDN

that is true, your body does get familiar to some foods. On the flip side you should test out some foods you think may be in your regular diet when TSHTF.
ie grind out some wheat and make flour and make something, try some rice stored from a while back and make something with those beans stored away etc..

bought me a "project" jeep. Gonna be my bug out vehicle by next spring once I "upgrade" it a bit.

10mths vitamin c
4 mths garlic, zinc, vit c and Echinacea

A 24 volt dc permanent magnet motor to create a hand-crank backup, just needs some belts and pulleys

Wholesale Club has Carnation Hot Chocolate/50 single servings packets per box on sale. So we bought a 7 boxes...6 for us and one as a Xmas gift.
There's only three of us in the home now so the single serve packets. We're just into the last carton from the case we bought last year so now we have a good idea of how much we use in a whole year.
We just don't go through it fast enough for the giant Costco canister of it and this keeps it easy to pack into a "go kit/bag".
They also make good emergency Halloween treats if we run out of candy 😉

Passed my firearms safety course, got my card, and am filling out the PAL application this week.
Letting my beans go to seed for saving for next year
harvested and canned most of the carrots...some were held over for seed production next year
took advantage of a $2.99 sale price on ground beef and picked up about 20 lbs.
9 x 750ml jars of homemade green tomato relish (yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmy!)
harvesting and drying herbs on an ongoing basis
cleaned out chicken coop to get the deep litter started for winter
1000 strike anywhere matches (for fire starting, not reloading .22lr)
20 kgs flour
3 bottles of Lucas fuel stabilizer
rotated out another 40 liters of storage gas

Tea, Peanut Butter on sale this week.
I'm still watching for potatoes, carrots, and onions to come on sale....... I usually top up my winter supply. I think I might have missed the sale when I was preoccupied with the birth of my new grandson a few weeks ago. 😉
Bought a big container of stove cement to patch the firebrick in my cookstove (tomorrow's job).
Filling the woodshed with my three year dried wood.
Going to pick the hops tomorrow afternoon and dehydrate them (for my son who makes beer with them).

Going for $0.99 Turkey today

Installed 3 new battery-operated, double sensors smoke detectors. Food for 10 years and ammo to ward off a small army won't help me much if the house burns down with us inside.

This week I added a new axe, and a food dehydrator.
