Just got a little metal rocket stove... it fits nicely in a 30 round ammo can along with a couple of lighters, a small cooking pan, some fat wood, and a couple of single serve pouches of spam and oatmeal.

I haven't seen those single serve SPAM in so long I thought they stopped making them . Very handy to have

Isopropyl alcohol! I use it for pretty much everything but disinfecting- so imagine my anger when I saw the shelves completely empty and some a$$holes selling them on eBay for $50 for a $3 bottle when the pandemic started.

Now I always camp out at the Walmart when they bring out the pallets and steal the cases of ISA before they get a chance to put them on the shelf.

Spam and oatmeal... I'll have to try that!

Ordered a hiney hydrant so TP supply will be extended.

Hit the "scratch and dent" section at the local shoppers, came away with 8 boxes of instant oatmeal at $1/box, 1 Lb box of sketti for .60 and a 2 Lb box for $1. Several small single serve apple sauce and various fruit cups for .10 each.

KN95 respirator masks seem to be in good supply on eBay and Amazon, some for $0.40/mask. The KN95 rating is a Chinese standard that mimics the US N95 rating. A couple points of caution. Some masks may not have been certified KN95 but are just stamped that they are. Second, some actual KN95 masks were deemed inadequate by US agencies when tested against N95 masks (in part because the KN95 ear loop ones didn't seal well). I personally prefer 3M N95 respirators, and have a small stock of them, but see that they're still running about $4-5/mask on eBay (which is down from about $20/mask in April). Thus am thinking of supplementing this stock with some KN95 masks, and using a cloth mask on top that loops over the back of the head to improve the seal.

If you're spending a lot of time indoors in proximity to people not from your household this winter, and don't have a N95 mask supply, might want to consider shopping for some N95 or KN95 respirators in case supply becomes tight and prices rise again.

This.

KN95 masks may not be better than N95s, but they are a lot better than cloth masks and bandannas.

Blue Arrow KN 95 masks are available again from Newegg. $19 for a box of 30 with free shipping. I bought a case of these for the office, they're a pretty good fit for most people and aren't as uncomfortable as an N95 for extended wear.

ETA: on sale for $17.99 for the next 20+ hours

Thanks, that's the best deal I've seen in a while. Got the company to spring for a box. :party29:

I wonder which is worse for you.......... Spam or canned corned beef which I prefer on a sandwich

I'm down to my last can of Stagg Chili. Things are looking grim

Mighty Joboo · Nov 23, 2020

Man... I can't keep spam of any variety on my house. It goes entirely too fast. Spam, rice, and eggs. Maybe with some chopped tomatoes and onions and a dash of soy...Good eats.

Stagg chili is goo-oo-ood. I won a chili cook off at work a long time ago with it

If a flood comes, you are all set to soak it up also.
