Went on a few hikes to up my endurance. Climbed upriver at a river gorge up a few small waterfalls.
Learned how to locate and identify possible fatwood sources and how to harvest them. Also bought 10 lbs of it just to have an ample supply while I continue learning how to buy some more. FYI, I bought this one from Amazon at just about $2.30/lb, though if you prefer a sack (I didn't, I want stackability) you can get it cheaper from this listing here. Both are 10 lbs worth, which is a lot. Quality will most likely be much worse than what you could potentially find out in the woods yourself, but it's the cheapest you'll find online, as long as you have Prime.
Picked up a bunch of antibiotics and tinctures for medicine, got a bunch of matches and other fire starting paraphernalia. Basically lots of small stuff for potential trading, or just to have on hand. Also bought a ton of industrial grade bulk AA and AAA batteries (basically off-brand Duracell batteries). After having read up on bartering, I'm going to start purchasing bulk/surplus lighters, keeping all our spare knives and box cutters in a 'surplus' box, hoarding matches, batteries, etc.
Am researching and saving up money for a potential gas piston air rifle, as 22LR is impossible to get my hands on here, and I could easily purchase several thousand pellets at a fraction of the price. (For example, 10,000 rounds of 22LR at $0.13/round (this was the cost for the only 22LR I can find), I would be able to purchase 50 rounds a day if I wanted to drive 20 miles round trip every day. Total cost would be $1300+gas+tax. Purchasing an air rifle ($~250 tops) + 10,000 rounds of .22 caliber pellets ($150) would give me a quiet, reliable small game rifle with ample amounts of ammunition at less than half the cost.
I also plan on purchasing a used Keltec PF9. I already own a Bodyguard 380 for concealed carry, but I want a higher caliber that can still be concealed if SHTF. Would love to get a UMP 9mm but that's just dreaming and way too flashy for a civilian to lug around :P
Right now I'm planning out how to reorganize my garage to give me one centralized space in storing all my prep materials. I'll be doing that this weekend. Will also put together a kit for bugging-in defense. Tape for reinforcing windows, sheets of plywood cut to fit over window covers (or maybe not, space is super limited still :/ ) buying extra door locks that protect from people kicking in doors (still a moot point if I can't cover up our massive ground-level window)
You can have it shipped to your door.
