Daily Load Out (Updated)

Well, over the last few years my loadout has changed from posted back in January of 2011 (http://tiernansramblings.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-daily-loadout.html)


First off, I'm not carrying two pistols at once.   I alternate between the two, depending on jeans (Glock) or slacks (.357) that day.  And I've got a Glock 21 in the glove box, among other things my vehicle, including my Get Home Bag and a smaller, extra bag for a passenger or coworker.

Keyring has a can opener and a key with a knife blade, saw, bottle opener and Phillips head screwdriver.

It seems the only thing that stayed the same is the toboggan.

Go Shopping

Here's the Amazon list I promised forever ago.

It filled up so here's another one:

Trunk Guns

I've been keeping a Mossberg 500 in my Explorer since July of `09.  If the shit hits the fan, I have confidence in a .45 ACP to stop an assailant, I'm still going to want something more. a shotgun gives me a variety of rounds to defend myself and others, plus game shot and slugs for hunting.

There's a variety of carbines that would be ideal to complement your sidearm and shotgun: 30/30, Hi Point's 9mm & .45, lever-action .357's... it's a very large list.  You might want to consider a carbine in the same caliber as your carry weapon.

Back...

Been waaaay too long.  Look for new stuff this week.

Been Awhile

Its been awhile, and things change and life goes on.  TO get myself and this blog back on track I've picked up the 31 Days to Survival book by M.D. Creekmore for my Kindle Fire, which can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/31-Days-Survival-Emergency-Preparedness/dp/161004648X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348436696&sr=8-1&keywords=31+days+to+survival

Also, I'll be making a listmania list over at Amazon of the things I've purchased from the site to prep with.

Preps Between 4/3/12 - 4/25/12

     I meant to do this once a week, but real life got in the way.  Also I got robbed: cash, silver coins and a 7 handguns were taken. 

Anyway, here's what I've done since the last post:

• 1 3600 calorie energy bar (Coast Guard ration)
• Began working out
• Stored 5 more liters of water
• Began researching alternate bug out routes from my location
• 6 more cans of food in the pantry

I know its not much, and the real world is kicking my butt, especially with this being the end of the spring semester.  Hopefully I'll get in gear here in the next week or two.

I've decided each week to list what I did to further my preps each week. The list will help me keep track of what I'm doing, and maybe it will help others feel less overwhelmed.

Anyway, it was a VERY slow week for me. Had a lot going on at work with one of the bosses and some of the staff of to be seat fillers at the American Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

• Took a first time shooter to a gun range, and after a few mags turned her loose with my Ruger 10/22 and Walther P22. Zereod the ACOG in on my DPMS M4.
• Attached a red dot to my Mossberg 500.
• Put three gallons of H2O away in my deep freezer, as well as froze two pounds of generic sausage that was on sell at Kroger.

Its not much, and I usually do much more each week.
