I think your first order of business would be to define exactly what you are prepping for (bug-in, bug-out or both) recommendations for gear would differ depending on this criteria, because when you bug-out Weight becomes a much bigger concern. I.E. If your bugging-out I would suggest freeze-dried foods as they are much lighter and pack smaller (I prefer Mountain House). If your bugging in I would go for for MREs instead. They are heaver, bulkier and have a shorter shelf life, however they are much higher in calories/nutrients. A single MRE will give you around 1300 calories, where a freeze-dried entree will give you approx 600 cals.

Snowblower is ready, shovel is ready and I have some salt left over from last year just in case

My Biometric GunVault with my XD Loaded, extra mag, inside. My cell, last nights soda and a sippy cup lol P.S. A flashlight would be intelligent...

Is that from his bio or some romance novel. Who writes this stuff?

Well sort of... I have been in more closed & open "betas" than I care to count and 9 times out of 10 they are just to generate hype, so the game has a good opening. 99% of the problems you find, they already know about and they are already working on a solution. If your lucky you will see a solution in the first 3 patches

I have those kind of days too sometimes. I don't know, maybe little girls just do that to fathers...

A little late to order his now, but a friend sent me this a while back. It would be perfect for a situation like this: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/CAMP205-1.html

Feel bad for me, my whole family has a vacation scheduled for next week in Corolla, NC (Outerbanks) lol We still might go late, depending on how much havoc the storm causes. You don't need bottled water, you just need containers. You have good drinking water from your faucet right now. Fill up some containers and you good to go. I seriously worry about the people in this state sometimes. I don't think they are going to survive the first day of the apocalypse lol

Well im not a lawyer, but my short answer is absolutely not. He should not take possession of the firearm. There are a number of questions here that would need to be answered to even determine who legally owns the handgun. In that situation play it safe and and say sorry cant help you or if you feel that bad about it loan them your safe not the other way around So if the the father had no will or everything was left to the mother, then it is her firearm. If the firearm was left to the daughter in the will then it is her firearm. Neither mother or daughter needs a firearm id card or ppp to inherit a handgun. I'm not that familiar with P2P transfer portion of the law, so I cant comment on that.

My 22 month old daughters favorite place is Walmart or Lowes to sit on the lawn mowers lol. They are easily entertained at this age. Some other places you could go to are North Landz (worlds largest model railroad) in Flemington or Popcorn Park Zoo (petting zoo) in Forked River

I might be in for this depending on the date/location and the amount of notice.

I'm pretty sure I went to the same course you are planning to do and I would recommend go to see one of the forum vendors. I know they are a little more expensive and further away, but it's worth it. My class had close to 60 people in. It was pure chaos. It was overcrowded, disorganized and took 3x the amount of time it was suppose to. I wouldn't do it again.

That's interesting I didn't know American cars used that style caliper. I thought that was a German car thing. On Sub-Topic: Yea I have done the brakes in both an 02 and 05 WRX and they are the same as any other car. On Main-Topic: I field strip and clean my XD every time I shoot it. Yea, its not needed, but it makes me feel better since it is also my first resort HD weapon.

About 3 years ago we rebuilt my brothers bathroom with pex and its still going strong. Recently we replaced his hot water heater with a hot water on demand system and used pex for that too. It is some great stuff.

We had a conversation similar to this last year I believe? Some points I would make are a home garden is a great renewable way of harvesting food. If you combine dehydration with that it can really pay off for saving you money on emergency food. Second point is to watch the calorie counts on freeze dried meals like Mountain House. These are great for short term survival but not long term. The Beef Stew #10 Can for example only gives you 210 calories per serving. So 3 servings a day of that will not even give you 1000 calories a day which is considered to be the bare minimum needed by the human body to function. The last point I would raise is, unless you live in the desert, there is no need to store water. You have tons of water around you in NJ/PA/NY etc. You just need a way to filter/sterilize it. If you want to buy plastic drums to fill once you think you might need it... ok.
