I just discovered that I love peanut butter fudge. I wonder if I can get some for long term storage?

Ryan over at TotalSurvivalist.com continues to talk about the Operational Cache. I am overdue in creating my own. One of the areas of controversy is whether or not you should place your top tier equipment in it or “spare” stuff. The argument is that if you need to access your cache in a SHTF situation then you will NEED your best equipment. I agree with that however it is really up to the person and their budget. It would be better to have “something” rather than “nothing”. Remember – just because the word “cache” is used doesn’t mean something is buried.

The new Magpul D60 drum magazine for the AR looks intriguing.  There are drawbacks to any mag holding that many rounds however it is certainly a combat multiplier. They will likely be sold out for some time.

It’s only the beginning of February however I am thinking about gardening already. I have some weeds growing up and need to kill them off. In another month need to till everything up and throw some compost in.
