I suppose with the sunset of the AWB I might make a few minor changes here and there…I wouldnt mind having a folding stock on the AK.

I received a book in the mail yesterday offa my Amazon wish list – “Conquer The Crash – You Can Survive And Thrive In A Deflationary Depression”. Im not so much a believer in a long-term crisis of Mad Max-type proportions. I believe those situations will happen on a short term basis (hurricanes, floods, etc). But the long-term crises that I do think will occur will be along the nature of something that drops the US into a Soviet-style economy with lines for toilet paper, meat and bread. Think Moscow. Think Argentina. The obvious solution is to have your lifestyle rigged in such a way that youre fairly immune from economic upheaval (not alot of debt [mortgage], tangible investments [gold], etc, etc. Anyway, this book was on my list so Im curious to see if its any good.

Need to shop around a bit and acquire a good two-burner propane camp stove. I already have to one-burner stoves for backpacking that burn gasoline and camp fuel, but for indoor use I prefer propane. (Although in the winter I can cook on top of my kerosene heater) Additionally, I’ll pick up the necessary hardware to let it run off of 1# bottles or the ubiquitous 20# barbecue bombs. Fortunately, my household stove runs on gas and in the past has been completely unaffected by power outages. But, why take chances, y’know?

The local Goodwill is having a sale on their military BDU’s so theres an opportunity to pick up some new pants and maybe a field jacket. BDU pants are the most comfortable pants around and are pretty durable. Lotsa room in the crotch and seat which makes ‘em great for when youre running around over obstacles and stuff like that.
