Hi
Jerry D Young 19:42:26
good evening everyone
K7KBJ - Ken 19:42:35
Jerry, tons of people asked about you at Prepper Field Day !!
JCMayhem 19:43:14
Good evening!! I am apart of some FB groups about prepping and today someone asked about he "unusual" things that are kept in preps. I took some notes because I haven't seen these ones. Lumber/plumbing/construction supplies, shoe repair kits, pest control for pets, plunger and bucket to clean clothes, clothes pins,
JCMayhem 19:43:23
compost pile or devices, and dental repair kits
Jerry D Young 19:44:53
I believe there more unusual things for prepping than there are usual things. At least for me. I have so many things that I have seen anyone else have or use.
JCMayhem 19:47:08
Yeah, I bet your preps are quite interesting
Jerry D Young 19:48:18
I think they are boring as all get out. So many different kinds of things for so many different situations. Each seems pretty mundane once I have mastered whatever it is.
K7KBJ - Ken 19:48:41
condoms and female hygiene products for barter and use.
Jerry D Young 19:49:32
That is everyday stuff, not unusual. In my opinion, anyway.
JCMayhem 19:49:37
Oh yeah! Someone in the comment section also said biodegradable body bags for burials
Jerry D Young 19:50:52
I do not think mine are biodegradable. I wanted them to be impervious to the contents as well as the surrounding environment.
JCMayhem 19:52:42
Yeah, that's what I was thinking would be wanted in them. Though if they won't be filled with chemicals from funeral homes, maybe it's okay if they leak? I've not researched that.
Jerry D Young 19:54:08
I would not want them to leak. Human remains are dangerous and extremely odorous.
K7KBJ - Ken 19:54:50
sounds like some people I have known....
Jerry D Young 19:55:12
Good point.
JCMayhem 19:55:58
Good points

K7KBJ - Ken 19:57:16
Watch out. There is a fly on the wall.
Jerry D Young 19:57:21
Warm heart and cold hands okay?
K7KBJ - Ken 19:57:30
Yup
Jerry D Young 19:57:41
Or maybe that is cold hearted and hot hands.
Jerry D Young 20:01:08
At least that is what some people call me.
Jerry D Young 20:10:13
Someone telll David to say that three times fast...
K7KBJ - Ken 20:11:17

Jerry D Young 20:13:53

One of the items I was going to demonstrate was a new fire starter by Dark-Ridge.com
Jerry D Young 20:19:00
I picked one up at a Reno gun show. The device is light and has a ferro-cerium rod, a separate striker, and a pair of tinder plugs. What makes this so advantageous is that the striker slides down a wide groove in the top of the fire starter and directs the sparks into a slight dome at the end of the fire starter.
Jerry D Young 20:19:55
This directs the sparks downward onto the tinder that has been shredded and placed where the fire starter can be used easiest.
Jerry D Young 20:21:24
I highly recommend this fire starter, especially for younger preppers with small hands and less coordination than older preppers. (Though not less than some of us old... older... oldest... preppers.)

I am really sorry I missed Amateur Radio & Prepper Field Days this year. I hope to make Frozen Prepper Field Days in January 2025. I want to at least get the books I was supposed to have for those with whom I had made trades at the last Frozen Prepper Field Days.

Thank you for a wonderful preppers weekend! Had a Blast!
K7KBJ - Ken 20:27:01
You're very welcome. I got drunk hahahaha
Lisa Partee 20:27:24
LOL!! No you didn't!!
Lisa Partee 20:27:27

Lisa Partee 20:27:59
Late getting on tonight.... friend in hospital and late getting home.....
Lisa Partee 20:28:47
Thank goodness my Dave (NOT THE DIRECTOR/DICK-TATER) remembered at the ;last minute
Lisa Partee 20:29:42
Jerry Young, please worry about healing and getting better for next time! Hugs and prayers to you.....
Jerry D Young 20:31:47
Thank you. I am already staying on my diabetic diet much better than I was. Making sure I pick up my meds when ready and take them as prescribed. Trying not to overdo things the way I used to with little regard for how it affected me long term.
Lisa Partee 20:33:22
Good answer, Jerry.... and yes, you were missed. NEXT TIME!!
Jerry D Young 20:34:17
And part of my better lifestyle is to go to bed and GET TO SLEEP before 4am the next morning. So, with that, I am off to bed. Good night all.
