Prepper Ping – Doom and Gloom Report Imported from "Over the Pond", for the US - Drought/ Heat/ Fires

" "The dual threats of heat and drought could spell disaster for communities along the US west coast,
as the region faces the potential for record temperatures this weekend and more in store for the summer.
Already, temperatures have reached 116 degrees in Las Vegas and 115 degrees in Phoenix."

"On Thursday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a statewide emergency,
warning that the state's power grid was under stress due to the heat,
and called on residents to conserve electricity."

"It's likely to get worse, with places in the northwest such as Portland, Oregon and Redding, California
potentially in for temperatures topping 112 degrees and 113 degrees respectively this weekend.
And it's only the start of summer.""

(FReeper Metmom's comment :) "Government mismanagement is a huge part of the potential problems from any natural disaster.
Forest management and wise water storage and use would go a long way to preventing the problems US residents will be facing should the weather be extreme.
Also, Bad weather or wildfires could cause a lot of food production and transport issues.
There have been threads addressing the potential for a wheat crop failure, which means a real problem for basic staples."

(My Comment) : Prepare now, because supplies will never be as cheap, or as reasonable, as they are right now due to crop shortages, or, as compounded by inflation.
Add to all this, the political strategy of the political leftists, for "The GREAT RESET", and your head may be swimming with confusion.
Think logically and without emotion as to where any weaknesses may be, and which areas can be secured as cheaply and quickly as possible : Prioritize !!
Best to get ready for it now,.. because this ain't no fire drill !

Well the good news is that we’re prepped.
Those who ignored that advice will find out soon enough how big of a mistake that was.

Food & water is worth more than gold.

Someone, I think it was greeneyes, posted a link to a video some lady did about how to store a year’s worth of food. She says it will fit under the average bed.

I didn’t save the link. However, it was a very interesting video
