Sorry Bue, they are the creamette brand but in a 3 pack pouch box. Like the rice in a pouch.

Hey Arak, thanks for the tips. I think a couple boxes of Remington's are in order since my son and I will probably shoot up one of them later today. The recipe sounds good/easy to me. Did I mention my LGF (liberal girl friend) is a vegetarian. Somebody help me, please!!!

Think nothing of it brother! The thought of you and your son spending quality time together while increasing your skills is my thanks :)

Now about this girlfriend.... I am truly starting to get a little concerned for you cowboy. If your in love, *sigh* best of luck
But if your NOT... . Dallas is packed with steak loving woman, get yourself up here one weekend.... we will slice you one off from the herd ;) LOL

My little ones love ramen, I don't put the whole seasoning packet in with the noodles so it cuts back on the sodium a bit. The yakisoba noodles are yummy, fairly cheap too.

That's a good haul. I wish I had your budget or your supplier. Bue and a few others have given me links to shop online for ammo but work has kept me from looking into to those yet. That should happen later today.

That's a great scale, Echo2. And what a bargain.

Arak, thanks for the advise and don't be surprised if I take you up on the offer. I haven't done any "herd cutting" in a while. :)

I recently found a source for 1 gallon pickle jars for free. I don't know how well the original lids would seal if I used O2 packets. Does anyone have any experience using these?

From the reading room.

Finished reading Lights out and One second after. Both made me think really hard about where I am. If/When SHTF my stick frame vinyl siding house will be a very easy target, if the fires jumping from house to house don't get it first.

Sunday I learned a lesson: One of the pulleys on my riding lawnmower caught a dangling lace from my boot and snapped it in under a second. I had wanted to make a set of 550 cord laces and now am glad I didn't. With laces that strong, it would have jammed my foot down into the pulley guard or worse. Breakable bootlaces for me from now on.

I got a boundle of 1/2 inch rope and 18 cans of food from EE

I bought a used guitar, playing cards, and board games to provide entertainment when the electricity goes out and the TV stops working or when I choose to turn the TV off. ;D
