Haitians may be a problem if they get into your stored food.

We should deploy them along the border and tell them it’s an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.

Whatever prepping you do be sure to include ammo on the shopping list. Buy early and often ...

Don’t forget providing your own energy.

“ People willing to breach the strong cultural and legal barriers to firearms ownership should find it relatively easy to stock the pantry and put away some candles. In uncertain times, taking on such personal responsibility becomes not just attractive but necessary.”

I take exception to that statement. They think people are buying firearms illegally in order to be prepared? It’s not that hard to have guns legally in most places, we did even in California.

“The Department of Homeland Security says “the 2024 election cycle will be a key event for possible violence”

That will probably happen when the government can’t afford to give the illegals all the free stuff they where promised.

And IMHO, not a very good one.

I can’t imagine how they gathered statistics accurate to three significant figures. Answering a survey or responding to a knock on the door violates the very first rule of prepping.

Hopefully, 2024 won't deliver yet another unpleasant wake-up call.

And yet, no matter who wins, it looks like it will be.

If Trump wins, expect 2020 type behavior by the left on steroids.

If the democrats *win*, they will finish destroying this country and it will be every man for himself.

Haitians will have a problem if they come for my stored food.

If TSHTF that “black urban farmer” is going to have 10 of her formerly friendly Neighbors at the door demanding their fair share.

And salt.

Salt is absolutely essential for survival and yet I rarely see it mentioned in prepping supplies.

“55 percent of adults surveyed stated they had pursued three or more of the twelve preparedness actions”

The 12 preparedness actions are hardly a sign of being a hardcore prepper.

Make a Plan
Save for a Rainy Day
Plan with Neighbors
Document and Insure Property
Safeguard Documents
Sign up for Alerts and Warnings
Test Family Communication
Practice Emergency Drills
Get Involved in Your Community

Just be mindful of the size/power of the panels versus the capacity of the battery matched to your ESSENTIAL electric needs.

The panels for the out of the box Patriot solar battery are kinds small.

Even saying all that, it’s better to have that than have nothing.

True. And same for cold weather clothing especially in northern climates.

They also don’t mention alternative heat sources like wood stoves. I realize that’s not an option for many people, but come Jan and Feb in the north.........
