I generally like my Food Saver, BUT, never ever vacuum seal seafood in it. You will never get the stench out. You can still use it and it is not a food safety issue, but it smells absolutely disgusting and no amount of autistic cleaning will get the stench out.
i know its kinda late for this season, but if there is enough room in this to put a layer of gravel at the bottom it might unfuck the drainage situation next year.
The convenient thing about bags is you can just bring them inside during the day or night. I have the opposite problem of the heat wave and have to bring in my warm weather plants at night and I really can only let them outside about 8 hours a day. In contrast though, all of my cold loving plants like my brassicas, beets, and potatoes are jizzing all over themselves with joy. Roses, lavender, mint, hops, apples, and cherries seem to be doing great. I tried to start cucumbers, but one variety seems to be able to tolerate the cold far more than the other, even in bags. So looks like I will get 5-6 plants from the 10 I started. Dill and raspberries also doing well. My sunflowers hate life to the max, but they are very resilient and want to live. Lucky for me, slugs have not had a good foothold this season, for whatever reason, and Sluggo takes care of the rest. It has been too cold for many pests and my cold weather nematodes have taken care of whatever can survive that.
It sounds like you still live with your parents.

If you're looking for a good knife I'd suggest a full tang blade, Ka-BARs have rat tail tangs and will be weaker.
It really depends if you can find the individual components cheaper or not. If you just need a first aid go bag, this is OK. Quickclot type bandages are not cheap. You will want to have been certified First Aid before using these things. Another $60 or so bucks, but well worth it.
Making noodles is actually very lazy. All you need is flour, water, and salt. You can use eggs if you want, but it isn't necessary. Get a pasta machine (please, hand operated only) and you will be in the pasta money in no time. There is no comparing fresh pasta with dried. I was like whatever whenever Gordon Ramsey shit on dried, but um, yeah, he was right. You can right away know the difference. You can make a bunch at once and it can feed you for several days. Homemade alfredo is also worth doing.
Cause our so-called betters have been talking about preemptive nuclear strikes.
I got some a few months ago.

I did this a few months ago and it's outstanding. It has a surprising sweet note I didn't expect. I've also been stockpiling the fuck out of many varieties of dried chili pods. The ones I don't seal up for long term storage I pan toast and grind into powder. It's not even a matter of homemade being better, it's a completely different substance than store bought. Magnificent.
It's true. You find a pepper based spice mix at the store, it's full of salt, sugar and other fillers. You can get 100% ground cayenne, but I don't see jalapeno. Then the pan toasting gives it a unique flavor, and makes it dehydrate faster.
