“”You only need to store away enough to buy yourself time to adapt to the new reality””
That could be forever. At my age, at least until the end of my life....I can’t see the supplies lasting as we won’t recover from an EMP..no matter what or how much we stock....
Adapting is not necessarily a physical process. It could involve giving yourself the opportunity to team with others. I’m sure you aren’t any more challenged than I am, but I will still be adapting.
“end of life” even at our advanced age is not predictable.
I can not begin to know how much to stock!
End of life might be when I run out and have to leave a safe area.
