Some parts of California, Contra Costa I believe, this would entitle you to loot a sporting goods store. No charges if you need what you loot
This is similar to what happens to all the powder, primers, and reloading equipment everytime there is some type of panic. Most people do not even know how to use the stuff, but those who do like to have “a little extra on hand” to get through the hard times if things really go south.
Give a man a fish..... Teach a man to fish..... comes to my mind.
Well, as long as they don’t run out of dynamite, I’ll have fish for dinner.
Probably the fact that too many rods and reels are made by slave labor in Communist China has had an impact.
And canning lids!
Lots of areas of shortage, lawn and garden isn’t nearly as robust.
They told me there’s a shortage of plants.
Gizzards which are part of the dog food I cook are almost impossible to get.
They have started to show up on an irregular basis.
I don’t think we’ve yet felt the full force of this stupid shut-down.
I think November is going to be bad and so I had hoped to get some extra packed away.(cleared some of my old stuff and wasn’t diligent in replacing)
It’s going to be on availability terms, yay, we get a minute taste of that good old communism.

We’re out on Navajo Lake as I type this and we had a hard time finding the right color pike lures at Cabella’s. No matter. They seem to be digging the bass lures.
An unplanned vacation for many overworked folks. A chance to teach your kids or just get some quiet time.
It’s not just COVID.
I was thinking the other day about what impact Covid may have had on the environment, too.
I’m no Enviro-Nut, but I ordered a LOT of things on-line in the past 6 months that I would’ve normally just purchased locally.
I ahve more boxes and packing materials than a regular person would know what to do with.
I, however, shred any unbleached packing paper and newspapers for my compost bins, and I save cardboard to put in the bottom of new garden beds, or to snuff out an area for planting, then cover with mulch; I can re-use & recycle said packaging - any plastics go to recycling. (Yes, I know that’s a scam.)
I’m just curious to see how recycling centers and landfills were effected.
How many BILLIONS of disposable masks have we gone through in the past 6 months? Were they added to the landfills? Did we use more trees/wood pulp than average to make more shipping boxes?
Just curious - and willing to BET that the Enviro-Weenies will be spinning this in their favor in some way, shape or form.
In our area there has been a critical shortage of Pressure Treated lumber, as all of the “Stay-at-Home” folks are busy trying to build or rebuild back porches & decks.
My Wally World is wiped out. I could’ve scored a few hooks. That’s all.
