I believe the panic started already.

I think low hanging fruit would be to ban imports...I just started to focus my buying specifically on imported items like imported AK47s and i am paying premium prices because i think it will be banned one day.  You snooze you lose and i snoozed :'(

Supply and demand determines the current  prices of these items so the inflated cost is what it is at the moment.  I seen many cycles of this and prepared myself because i know what it is like to spend 60 bucks on a ar15 preban steel mag  or 100 dollars for a 10/22 25 rounder.  Thats not happening to me again. 

I don't see the difference in purchasing these firearms or ammo vs a stock or an asset.   I made the sacrifice to buy an asset vs spend it on something that loses value.   I definitely dont hate on someone selling something for a higher price because it increased in value or demand.   Next time play the game.   :geekdanc: 

Could I wait for this to blow over and repurchase things in 2 to 3 years?  Yes,  but some low hanging fruit might not be available.  I think ammo will eventually  go down, but never to its previous lows.

I should have requested an estimate before having it sent there, he charged me $50 for a Glock Frame.  Ironically that's twice what Daniel would have charged me @ KGS, I've had good experiences there but I live in town and DCT was closer.

Wow 50 is pricey,  but I would rather pay double for customer service.  If it was 100 everywhere else  then I would take some sassyness....lol

Anyone recommend a FFL that should get business?  I don't mind paying 5 to 10 more for good service.  Just tried KGS and that dude is grouchy AF.  I rather give my business to owners who actually try and don't treat customers  like they doing favors. :shaka:

We use propane for our hot water and dryer... I have two 100# tanks that i rotate for that plus three, 10# tanks for grills, back up etc...

If shtf or a propane shortage, I would cut off the dryer, and just hang clothes.  The LP would be for hot water and cooking.... Cooking only if it got that bad.... :P

100 lbs tanks from Lowes?

I think you need to add the activated carbon filter to remove chemicals from the water too.

I just purchased a Berkey gravity water filter.  It is not as portable as the Katadyn, but it will work for what I need.  Plan to put a few drops of chlorine to kill 100% of bacteria and pathogens before it (the water) even goes through the filters.

Although, the Katadyn will be better suited for my BOB . . . may have to get one as well.

Mahalo for the info!   :shaka:

did you buy this filter locally?  if so where can i get one?

THanks

for water purification , I have this
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007U00YE/?tag=2ahawaii-20

it can filter 13000 gallons,  before the ceramic filter needs changing.  bought this a year ago for 250.  must be popular now or inflation is a bitch.
