Can’t think of anything significant.

I was a little surprised with the speed at which store shelves emptied on Mar 13, when the lockdown first went into effect.

I’ve done some more strategic planning for my garden and canning supplies. During the summer, I was buying up canning jars lids and an occasional box of jars until the selves were wiped out in Aug.

I also have ordered seeds for the garden that I know are not hybrid, so I can save the seeds and not be dependent on buying them from the suppliers.

I also have come to trust no one in the government.

Review the comments to see where your storage weakness may be.

That's a typical reaction when most people realize that your ability to travel and buy and sell is restricted by government.
A "bug out bag" should include spare medications, spare glasses and wipes, and enough for 3 days seasonally adjusted clothing,
as well as filled water containers, and freeze dried/ dehydrated foods, with an emphasis on proteins and digestible fats(ie.: protein bars/raisins).
'Bug out bags' emphasis should be on portability, nutrition and flexibility and adaptability.

If your desired relocation is not a comfortable distance, you should consider cache locations along the route
in areas that will remain undisturbed with reliable immovable landmarks, and mapped locations should your party get separated.
Cache locations should be located where there is little likelihood of moisture intrusion, and containers need to be well sealed.
A spare bag of reliable hand tools is helpful : saws, twine/rope, trenching tools, battery charger, machete, etc.
Success of any bug out plan is to practice it at least once or twice, in order to see where you need to refine your supplies and abilities.

“I also have come to trust no one in the government.”

Amen, Sister!

I’ve been that way for a very long time. Didn’t think my distrust/loathing/all-out HATRED could grow - but it did!

LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
