Short of robbing a bank, I don't have the resources to prep to that extreme. Several months of food, a year's supply of our necessary prescription drugs, 6 months worth of supplies for basic needs along with appropriate self defense hardware and related consumables, plus some silver bars for barter.
The SHTF is probably coming, but damn it, I am not going to become so obsessed with it that I can't live & enjoy the life I have now.
Ditto. We’ve got enough food to last about a month along with some silver. We’ve got some cash stashed in case the banks don’t have any. I’ve got a small water filtration device that’s not nearly capable of what I should have, but it’s a start. And I’ve got quite a lot of ammo. Other than that, I’m going to try to enjoy the last years I have on this earth. And the truth of the matter is there’s not a damn thing I can do to stop whatever is going to happen.
The only thing I really fear is a “walking dead” scenario. People walking around like zombies looking for anything they can find to eat. And where to go to get away from it.
Not surprised based on the screen name.
It’s not as hard as you think it is. Every time you go shopping, buy a case of water or some extra canned goods. Keep the food in dry storage, to best ensure longevity. Get a small amount of quality clothes to keep stored away as well.
It’s the small things over time that will best prepare you.
That's about where I am - I'm not going to obsess over it, just keep adding little-by-little as finances allow. I wish I could do more, but "slow and steady" will have to do.
