Sales have been brisk for the Rawles Gets You Ready Preparedness Course. (Available again, after being out of print for nearly three years.) It is now sold only via digital download, but priced quite affordably.

SGT mentioned an interesting report on Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and the U.S. Military, published by the BATFE. The report is mixture of good hard intel plus some innuendo, and a couple of implausible logical leaps. (For example, the supposed founding of the Hells Angels motorcycle club by veterans of the 303rd Bomber group is a myth that even current club members are quick to admit. The bikers just liked the name.) The key lesson from this report for SurvivalBloggers: Watch out for the 1-percenters in your area. Come TEOTWAWKI, they will be ruthless and unrestrained. (Note, however, that the other 99% of bikers pose no particular risk–they are just everyday folk.)

Reader P.T. found a gent in Weatherford, Texas who is selling food grade buckets in great condition in 4, 5, and 6 gallon sizes with lids. I bought 20 of the 6 gallon buckets with lids from him for $1.50 each and and he threw another one in for free. He keeps them in his garage so they are well protected. He stated that he can always get more and had several hundred on hand when I stopped by.
