I don't think things are so out-of-hand presently. I've been able to buy all the food I want just not exactly what I prefer...sometimes.
My problem during this was getting canning lids. My order from Lehman’s came yesterday.
My friends all used to mock me for simple prepping. Now they act as if I’m some genius…”ummm, guys you should always be prepared” I would tell them. However, the media and leftists dumbed down the masses because they despise people making decisions on their own without government. So the media, (Pravda) in typical fashion baselessly slandered us. I now do and support everything that the media slanders. Makes research a lot easier..
The government and Homeland Security are already demonizing anyone who prepares a little bit as a hoarder. Maybe even dropping hints (in my opinion) that they will forcibly take goods away from people under the claim that they are hoarders
Everyone is becoming an enemy of the state, according to the state. There’s a certain irony here because the numb nuts on the left think that when everything goes sideways the government’s going to get rid of all of us and they’re going to be sitting in the catbird seat.
I started prior to Y2K.
Actually when Clinton was elected.
I now live in a state subject to more kinds of natural disasters than any other state and we are very isolated;
Hawaii.
Added to that we are run by Democrats, so add government to that mix of threats.
We all prep here, I raise cattle, garden, stash food away, mill my own flour for bread,
live on rain catchment, have solar, I could go on and on.
Bottom line is that you need to prepare, it is your responsibility, and the government is NOT your friend. They cannot help. They won’t help.
It is just you and your community when SHTF.
two questions....
are hand held ham radios of any value?
what is the BEST and easiest gas can to buy? my husband hates the spouts.
You don’t say……🙄
Ping.
I’ve been a prepper since my first serious hurricane in 1962.

Valentine Card selection at the grocery was pitiful.
*Sobs*
My advice: (1) find a location where being an antisocial MAGA-hat-wearing psychopath with a basement full of food, guns, and ammunition is normal, and (2) move there. It worked for me.
I started immediately after Barry the Muslim was installed, sold house, stocked up, was already out of debt except 2 mortgages, now I have 3 paid for houses and looking to buy another
I started in earnest when 0bama was selected - and I ain’t done, yet. I’m further along than some, but behind others.
I’ve owned land, lived away from others and grown food, hunted and fished since the mid-90’s when I got out of the Army. Worked hard and always packed a lunch. ;)
Army skills, and those I’ve amassed since such as growing food, canning, making just about EVERYTHING from scratch, sewing skills, composting, making my own wine and liquors, conserving where I can, raising small livestock, AND GETTING OUT AND STAYING OUT OF DEBT go a long way to circumventing ANYTHING Mother Government throws at you.
“The revolution of thought for consumers is to break away from the matrix, buy land in a rural community with a decent internet connection and grow food and hunt. “
Do it, if you can! I bought a DUMP of a farm in 1993 and turned it into a paradise with a 1/4 acre garden, fruit trees, greenhouse and chickens. If this ‘Inner-City Milwaukee Kid’ with ZERO ‘farm’ skills can do it, anyone can!
P.S. Being DEBT FREE is KEY! Live BELOW your means. Work on reducing debt as you’re stockpiling canned beans. I’m as serious as a heart attack on that ONE prepper piece of advice.
