What have done towards your prep?

I have a system or staying stocked up on small things like bolts, screws and nails.

I simply put them away and forget where I stashed them. Knowing I will never find them again I buy a new box or package when I pick up materials for any project.

At the end of the project I stash the left over parts in a tin coffee can on the shelf in the shop, at which time I find the parts left from the previous project and the number of nails, bolts or screws in the stash is again secure.

I now have enough small staples to secure chicken wire to a fence two miles long. Thing is I got rid of the last chicken two years ago. But I am not turning lose of those staples, no sir'ree, I might need those little fellows some day!

Anyone here ever straighten nails to save them?
