No, not the prepping. I wanted hints from the doom-and-gloomers about what they think is coming. The Russians, an asteroid, or zombie apolalypse. But thank you for the posts @PrairieLady2 and @ansel12.
It just seems to me that the more things I get to feel prepared for more contingencies, the more I feel like I am still missing so much.
For example, I found out that I could only run my laptop for 5 hours on a 300wh battery generator, and could only run an oil furnace for barely an hour on 1000wh. These will hardly make much of a dent if the SHTF. Two 100 watt panels only put out 70 watts in the mid-day sun with clear skies and took 6 hours to charge the 300wh ‘generator’. So, what now? More panels?
It never ends.
Interesting, describe your living situation, (suburbs, city condo, big/little/no yard, climate/region) and give an indication of funds you are willing to invest (just a vague feeling for your commitment to preparing, not details of income or finances) and people can offer suggestions, personally I’m a minimalist so I don’t pay much attention to the fancy stuff like solar and generators, owning a retreat, buying all the expensive solutions etc., so my suggestions run more to making it part of your lifestyle and normal life, stuff that a suburban household can do to get by for a year without going full rural survivalist.

I think what is coming doesn’t matter much unless you are below sea level in New Orleans, no matter what it is, in just about any situation it will be about food and electricity, water, winter cold and summer heat, unusual health needs, and the capability for basic self defense until help arrives or normality returns.
Maybe the better question is how long people think the possible scenarios could last, a month, 3 months, a year, 10 years?
