Hmmm…wandered up to Sportsmans Warehouse and determined that they may, in fact, become my main local source for preparedness items. In addition to the Coleman parts I was looking for, they had:
15-gal water barrels with bung wrenches (no jokes, please)
Mainstay lifeboat rations
Mountain House pouches at reasonable prices
Propane heaters and adapters for use with 20# tanks
Olive drab (OD) 5-gallon water containers
Cyalume lightsticks in a variety of colors
Emergency drinking water pouches
Primus Omniefuel stove (burns all fuels, even butane cartridges) for $100
And lots of other stuff…
And, they had made-in-USA Danner boots so as soon as I can come up with $209 I can get new boots.
Nice to find all that locally…was especially glad to find the 15-gal. water barrels. Those were a pain to find.
Preparedness is having enough firepower and friends to take over and hold the local Costco and Sportsman’s Warehouse plaza.
Actually, thats one of our long-standing jokes is that we’ll all meet up at CostCo and take it over. Especially now that they sell gasoline.
Joke?
The two I’m thinking of actually share a parking lot. Everything you oculd need for the apocalypse right there in one place. All it needs is a home improvement store, and it’ll be the perfect guy mall.
Re: Joke?
I like how both of you think.
Heh.
