3 More 7 gal water jugs, planning on getting 4 30gal soon.
Bought 100 more .45, and 200 more .22 lr
added to my STS food supply

Excellent. Water is number one on my list as you only live 3 days without it. Not many actually realize this and accept it as reality. If you have the space for it, the 350 gallon 'totes' are excellent for it. That would be roughly 6 months water supply for 2 people. You can find them for around $80-90 if you look. Neutralize them with baking soda, then test with the cheap strip testers. Also more difficult for them to he stolen when full.

As cool as farady cages are, how will you use this for prep? Protect against emps maybe?

Absolutely. IMHO The greatest threat we face is a CME or EMP. Basically same effect. They occur naturally every day, it's just a matter of timing till Earth is facing the right, or wrong, direction. HAM radio, power inverter, a starter for your auto etc... All goes in a nested aluminum box. A HAM will allow you to find out what is occurring near you and heading your way. I'd want to stay put until news of ML and door to door BS is occurring. That is when it's time to head to location B.

Thats great! I'm looking forward to the point where I can say that. What does that mean for you btw? Not being a JA, just really want to know what the definition of 'All set' means for others.

Had not considered the threat of an emp being a primary one, only in a nuke attack-I'll need to study up on it.

Thats true, I've been looking everywhere for cheap ones, but nothing so far. and all of the new stuff i can find is way too expensive for a one time purchase

I infiltrated my surrounding neighbors houses to itemize the supplies they keep on hand for when the SHTF.

I subscribe to Obama's Survival Plan, which literally translates into taking the stuff that others worked hard for.
