How many weeks of food do I need?
I have two months now. Thinking about buying extra for my Brother who lives next door, he is a Just a Flu Bro.
I think two months is probably fine.
The virus will run out of people to infect by then. :-(
i think you’re fine with what you have depending on how much your brother eats. Realistically, replacing what you use with new should be the pattern. Any mandated quarantine won’t be more than one month - just my opinion though.
It probably won't hurt because you know where he's going to be going when TSHTF.
But make him reimburse you for it all. Don't let him freeload with no consequences for not prepping himself.
If your pantry and freezer have an inch of empty space, you’re not ready. No one knows how long.
You sure your brother won’t bring along a friend or two?
It’s not just food, it’s whatever you may need as well. Either of you need to stock pet food and pet meds? Your meds, too. Do you have tp and sanitizers/cleaners? Is there a mechanical something that needs repairing like a vehicle or lawn mower or a washing machine? Keep the gas tank filled and have some extra because a quarantine may not allow gas tankers to come in. You’re gonna need a working washing machine and detergent unless you want to go down to the public laundromat or to the store just for laundry detergent (or whatever) during the middle of a neighborhood quarantine.
It’s not like anything you buy won’t be used if this turns out to be short lived. TP and soap don’t have expiration dates and that can of green beans can surly be eaten before 2022.
