This amuses me. Lets see if it works:

Ordered a goodie from Kifaru last week. Will give a review of it when it arrives. I wish I had the money for one of their Marauder packs but in the meantime there is no shortage of other goodies to play with. I ran itno a guy at Sporsmans Warehouse with one of the Marauder packs and he was nice enough to let me examine it. I was pretty impressed but at almost $300 it oughtta be a good pack for that kinda coin.

After running calculation on food storage in terms of FD & MRE’s & the various canned stuff & the dry goods in storage, etc, etc, etc. I may actually have hit the ‘Continue stockpiling but at a relaxed pace’ mark. If thats the case then I get to focus on a different aspect of being prepared. I do need to go down to the bunker and inventory things so I know exactly whats there in terms of food. Off the top of my head I know its pretty good but Id like some more precise numbers.

Remember a few months back I mentioned that the local ham radio group was approached by some Mormons wanting to get in on the bandwagon to set up their own radio network? Apparently its come to fruition complete with a class of about 50, 2-metter HT’s provided to each household by the church and base unit equipment for the local Bishops Storehouse. Tellin’ ya, these guys have their poop in a group. Almost enough to make me wanna convert just for the networking…but, then theyd expect me to tithe..and go to church…and believe…and eat Jell-o. Too bad there isnt some sort of ‘supporting membership’ or something. Or, at least, maybe an armband or something so after the apocalypse they’ll no I mean them no harm.
By the by, author Dean Ing wrote a series of books about the US after a nuclear war where the Mormons, by virture of their being prepared, were able to pick up the pieces and wind up turing the US into a theocratic Mormon state. (“Wild Country”, “Systemic Shock”, and “Single Combat”)
Looks like it’s working.

Nice job on the preps as usual. Have you seen some of the preps on ar15.com. Some are pretty robust.
I’m still waiting for the LDS to orbit their own communications satellite. They could do it as a payload and not the whole vehicle to save money.
I totally see them doing this, linking LDSCOM-W(SLC) with LDSCOM-E(WDC)and using their mountain genealogical facility as both LDSOPCEN and ground control station.

Well, three out of four, anyway. 🙂 I’ll put in a good word for you in the Millennium.
I am ashamed to say that I am still horribly under-prepared. I will soon be finishing my server room, which should help insulate the rest of the storage room from the heat of 17 servers. That should help dry goods last a little longer. I will also be adding more shelving in the regular storage area to hold the necessary foodstuffs.
So expect me to get in on the Mountain House deals sometime in the near future.
Orson Scott Card wrote a series of post-apocolypse books featuring the Mormon church as well. I can’t remember the titles, though.
