She got the prepper bug!

We have talked about leveraging some more food and supplies against the upcoming inflation, but I have never thought that she got it worse than me.

I came home today to find a pallet of food cases (I think its 1 year supply dried food pack which we probably would never eat), and two of these giants (7' tall.. maybe 3' wide) sitting by the front door. :eek:

The neighbor across the street already asked what's up. I told him, we are sponsoring a tea party camp in our backyard this summer. [Tooth]

One of those extreme couponer ladies has a rack that automatically rotates cans. Sounds like something you might want to look into.

Bravo on realizing the importance of water in the preps. My wife just got the bug too, but is mostly interested in the "toys" at this point... like her new shotgun that she came home with this weekend.

( I'm not complainin' )

A guy named Sid Parker sells them for $360 @ 801-458-5271

Another one that we might return is ...

freaking $699.95+$200 in shipping.

Same exact products in two different color.

I was wondering how a 120 gallon hot water heater was prepper stuff.

*Actually, I could see how moving from a 40 gallon to a 120 gallon would be a prepper move.

Oh I was thinking 1 for water 1 for whiskey. Might have to rethink it a bit. Thanks for the info. i have been using 55 gal plastic drums. These look like they can save me some room in the garage and add to my storage supply.

The same footprint. I am liking it more than I thought.

Looks like i can replace 6 - 55gallon drums with 3 of those and lose no capacity. Im thinking 5 total to add capacity.

Actually.. 4.5 55 gln drums = 1 of this bad boy (250gallon). With 5 of these containers, you'll be able to have a shamu as your pet/meat supply. :D

I have always wanted to kill and eat a whale. Just to piss off the greenies. I imagine it tastes horrid and I'd die of a heart attack but still. Awesome tank those babies are sturdy as hell.

I just looked at the site link and saw the capacity. Maybe just 4 of them. Save me space in the garage and have a decent supply of water if needed.HAve to research them a little and see if I can store homemade diesel in one.

Lucky guy to have a wife like that! Mine accepts it all and supports my habit but hasn't really decided to contribute to the madness yet. I'm getting her to read One Second After in hopes that she'll start to "see the light"!

Whale is quite good. I was able to partake of some in a "traditional" Japanese sushi house while in Japan, on my last trip over there. There were no menus, only boards on the walls. It was ordered for me. I was first asked if it would "offend" me... I laughed and said I'd love to try it! Delicious!
