Hey, everyone! It’s been a productive week here at the homestead, and I wanted to share what I’ve done to keep moving forward with prepping. As you all know, prepping is about staying consistent, making small improvements, and thinking ahead. Here’s what I did this week:
-
- Stockpiled More Canned Goods
I headed to the local grocery store and found a great deal on canned beans and vegetables. I picked up 24 cans of black beans, 12 cans of corn, and 10 cans of green beans. These are staples that I know I’ll use, and they have a long shelf life. I made sure to rotate them into my pantry using the FIFO (First In, First Out) method. - Ammo Restock
With everything going on, I decided to pick up some extra ammo while it’s still available. I added 200 rounds of 9mm and 100 rounds of .223 to my stockpile. Ammo prices seem to fluctuate a lot these days, so when I find a decent price, I grab it. - Coop Maintenance
The chickens are doing great, and this week I cleaned out their coop and added fresh wood-chips. I also stocked up on extra feed from the local feed store. Keeping the coop clean and the hens healthy is key to having fresh eggs, especially as the weather cools down. - Tested Emergency Gear
I made it a point to test and top off the batteries of all of my solar generators and portable power stations this week since winter is just around the corner and with winter comes the possibility of ice, snow, and resulting power outages. I several different units but my favorite is this one and it’s been a reliable source of power for backup needs. - Added to the Medical Kit
Lastly, I added some more supplies to my medical kit. I stocked up on extra gauze, bandages, and antiseptic ointment. I also grabbed a couple of new tourniquets from North American Rescue, because you never know when you might need them. - Raked Leaves Away from Woodshed
With fall here, the leaves have been piling up, and that can be a fire hazard. This week, I raked the leaves back away from my woodshed to prevent any chance of them catching fire and burning down the shed. It’s a simple task, but it’s crucial for keeping the woodshed—and the firewood I rely on should I love my natural gas heat—safe. - Replaced Gas Can Caps and Nozzles I’ve always been frustrated with the caps and nozzle systems that come with most gas cans. This week, I bought 8 Replacement Gas Can Caps to update and replace those awful stock caps. The new ones seem much easier to use. If you’re still struggling with those annoying stock nozzles, I highly recommend upgrading!
- Stockpiled More Canned Goods
That’s it for this week. Prepping is all about staying prepared without getting overwhelmed. What did you do to prep this week? Let me know in the comments!
Stay safe,
