I beg to differ.
I think it’s less than 60 days.
My guess is mid October at the absolute latest.
We may have time after that, but if we’re not as prepped as can be by mid October, I thinking you’re taking your chances.
I concur with your assessment.

You may be right !
We still have the election expected "October Surprise" to look forward to.
The DemocRATS are known to try to pull the magical " rabbit out of the hat " trick during this election, which will surpass their " Resist Movement".
"Resist" was a passive-aggressive Democratic movement which was benign; any "October Surprise" will assuredly be active , physical ,and desperate.
I prepped when I saw empty shelves in Italy due to covid. Got a jump on everyone here. By the time I saw people staring at the empty TP shelves in disbelief, we had 48 mega rolls stashed away, had a freezer full of meat, lots of canned goods, every fuel tank filled, all propane tanks filled, several hundred in cash pulled.
Only thing we use the propane for is a two burner coleman camp stove. One tank lasts a month or more and we have 6 tanks. I think we’ve only used half a tank so far because we have an electric range we use for most things. We use the cook stove outside so that frying pan spatter doesn’t get all over the kitchen. Cast iron fry pans of course.
Need to get caught back up on TP and canned goods this month.
Need two? Buy four.
Coming into autumn, good time to start buying canned soup.
For years, we’ve kept enough beans and rice to sustain us for two months. Dumping some soup over rice stretches it. We keep sugar in a 4 gallon frosting bucket. We lived off grid for 7 years and got used to instant coffee and it lasts longer than ground because instant is freeze dried. Can always heat water.
I have a 5 gallon bucket of salt that’s over ten years old and pretty solid but it could be scraped off as needed. Salt never goes bad. I might start a new 3.5-4.5 frosting bucket of salt anyway.
The round frosting buckets from the grocery store bakery usually have a rubber gasket. Load them on a nice dry day, low humidity. Most grocery stores sell them for $1-2 but I’ve been dumpster diving for them lately. Our grocery store can’t sell all they use so if they’re right up top and haven’t had any nasty stuff dumped on them, I’ll fish them out of the dumpster. I bring a board with a nail in one end for that. They have to be cleaned anyway. That requires nice hot water to melt the frosting. Scrape as much as you can out first.
Good time to plant a fall crop of potatoes. Here in Ctrl MO, the ground rarely freezes more than an inch or two and if you pile leaves over it as mulch, it won’t freeze at all. Taters can be dug as needed. I still have some from the first crop that I can expose to light to make eyes and ready them for planting. The potatoes we get from one store will sprout eyes real quick and I have no problem planting them. People say you need guaranteed disease free seed potatoes but do you really think potato farmers aren’t very careful in keeping their crops disease free?
A long time ago I knew a source that would sell seed potatoes most any time of year but I don’t know where it was.
We’re up to the gills, here, with TP, Paper Towels, and our other usual shelves full of supplies.
Expect on average another “cop killing video” of a doped up black man every week from now until the end of the election.
Never leave your home unarmed!
