I'm doing 18 things
Well I managed about 100lbs of white rice…its not my first choice but I got a good deal on it. I also have two buckets of assorted beans which are really good protien. One thing I have learned is that Garbanzo Beans have the highest fat content and are therefore a good choice as part of your storage plans

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I brought my medieval group, The Kingdom of Stanislaus into Dagorhir,as the Knights of Stanislaus. This allowed me to hook up with a couple of Dagorhirim from the Buffalo NY Based unit, Narnia and carpooled down. All you need to do to get involved is to find a local unit, join up, get some weapons and most importanly, GARB and you too can be part of exciting battles, feasts and more!If there is no local unit, start your own with five of y… Read how I did it…

I got tons of information off of the web and also bought a video by Magpull entitled: The Art of the Tactical Carbine which really gives you some good basic information on everything from cleaning and maintainance to how to fight with the rifle.. a great investment for anyone who owns an AR15, M4 etc for defensive use. Its a great platform for many uses and has become popular with hunters, soldiers, target shooters, security professionals and law enforcement. The AR platform can be had in many different calibers and is sold by virtually every firearms manufacturer.
so whether you are using it to defend your home and community or to put venison on the table, the AR15 platform can do it!
I got my knighthood a few years ago but as far as Im concerned, being a knight is not something anyone can finish doing. Its a continuous effort that you work at all of your life. Living by the code of Chivalry is tough. You may have to make decisions you don’t like based on your adherence to the code, and might also find yourself at odds with people you call friends. You might find yourself risking your life in adhering to the code.
At the end of the day, the journey is work all the sacrifice because the end result (you get it when you end) is that you are a better person all of your life for the pursuit of chivalry.
