Got the new place and started unpacking. Ammo is HEAVY! It really got annoying to unload it all. Not a terrible problem to have I guess. Need to start some more caches just to avoid hauling around so much stuff.
Aside from getting the internet up I don't have a lot going on until our household goods get delivered midway through next week.
One of the projects I plan to do in this gap of time is to inventory and organize stuff, specifically ammo. I was basically ordering blind in Germany so am less than sure exactly what we have. Also cans will be packed away logically instead of as a total mess. Everything was in a can with dessicant packs but other there was no organization present. I will generally put together like items with a couple 'go cans' put together. The 'go cans' will have some ammo for the guns we would really depend on in a disaster. A couple spare mags might get tossed in too just in case something is forgotten in a stressful moment.
Aside from the go cans the rest will be packed in like groups. Everything will be labeled. Desiccant packs will be replaced. In addition to organization this will also let me really know where any deficiencies are at. I know we are real short on .357 magnum ammo but am unsure exactly where we sit on everything else. Some stuff might be waiting to suprise me.
Should be big fun and I would be smart to get that mess out of the living room before Wifey comes which means it will get done sooner instead of later. Wifey and kiddo will be flying down here shortly after that. Having kiddo in the car for the cross country trip sounded terrible and them coming later just made sense. I miss them a lot.

I must say it is very important to put extra magazines in the ammo cans.
In the heat of things, dropping or losing a magazine is very likely to happen. Just imagine what would happen if your mega-buck pistol suddenly became a single-shot because the magazine "fell out"...
Tom, I don't plan on relying on the cans for mags. Mags would be in my load out gear ie belt and chest rig.
That being said I did toss in 2 each Glock and AR mags into the boxes as well as backup holsters and an old USGI M16 mag pouch just in case.
