“Ship can’t deliver the goods, the railroads are all on strike, truckers are out of diesel fuel and the airlines can’t operate on time.”
I have never been a prepper until the last year. I have always stocked up on things like paper towels and other non perishables when they were on sale. Now, I have months worth of non perishables.
Based on your statement, people would be CRAZY not to have an extra months worth of food, TP, fuel, firewood, cash, bullets, and other essentials on hand. Plus, everything I bought is now more expensive.
I have a somewhat warped sense of humor or things that are interesting to me.
Here is Florida, anytime a hurricane appears to be coming near where I live, I am always amazed at the people freaking out, grocery stores running out of water, gas stations running out of fuel, etc.
The latest was hurricane Ian, where I live was not in the path of the storm, but I watched people buying multiple bottles of LP Gas for their stoves, water, etc...
The same thing happened with Covid, people literally went crazy, it as a real learning experience of watching people collectively lose their minds.
If we get a transportation super storm, it will be interesting to watch the panic and how people react.
There is still time, a window of opportunity, to keep prepping.
The best way is to shop often and buy just a little extra every time you shop. Not enough to be noticed, but enough to make a difference.
Don’t forget salt. It’s critical for survival and is not something readily available in nature except in a few locations. If supply chains disruptions happen, stuff like baking supplies and salt will not be had.
Also, don’t forget first aid stuff and OTC meds.
A lot of people have become preppers over the last 2 years, who never thought they would.
