Got 10 800ml aluminum water bottles with a screw cap for AU$2.50 each. Giving 5 out to my prepper groupmates here for Xmas. The other 5 will be divided between me, wife, and daughter.
Got also a small plastic crate to store my flashlights, batteries, and other light sources (including spare lighters, cyalume sticks, fire sticks, etc.)

My drawer is starting to get full of my flashlights, batteries, chemlights, etc. Need a place to store the majority. Will maintain an EDC and reserve flashlight in my drawer.
Might also put in other spare stuff there like back-up FAK, etc.

I will get a box to store prep stuff. Idea is not to mix it up with other things.

actually .. find them metal cyclinders which comes with biscuits.
Use the container to keep LED flash lights.
use Eneloop batteries. They retain 60% of their charge after 10 years.

I don't update all the time but have had people working on the rice paddies fixing the ground by making it flat - the task today is to clean out the waterways from the canals to my rice paddies. Unfortunately, people are lazy and not everyone burns their rice stalks after harvest and then ducks feed on the paddies until the water is let out, this equals lice which has everyone scratching. I do pay all workers $7.50AUD for an 8 hour day, so they are fully compensated. The rice harvest cycle will be posted by COB 24 Nov 14.

I got a 2200mah powerbank and 2 units of 1 LED USB lamps. The 1 LED can provide illumination for a room of 3.5m x 4m. Not like regular light but at least you can see around the room.
