I’m not quite ready to invest in an NBC-protected bunker, but I’ve long held the notion that a little preparation can pay huge dividends when something goes wrong.

I keep a stock of “extra” canned/packaged foods set aside in the pantry case I get snowed in or the like. If I don’t have cause to use it in an emergency, I’ll use it up and replace it with fresh stock when I get with six months or so of the expiration date.

I also keep several large sealed jugs of drinking water around. I like the 2-3 gallon plastic jugs I can get at superstores like Wally World, etc. They’re inexpensive and compact, so I can keep a week’s worth of emergency water on hand (figuring a gallon a day for me and the cat) in the back of a closet without problem.

I have been a prepper of sorts since before 1960. Prepping really took off back around 1978 when people got a real look at Jimmy Carter’s incompetence.

Began again with Bill Clinton’s admin, fell flat after Y2K, now starting up again.

It’s common sense to keep extra canned food on hand for emergencies. That is something I learned while living on isolated farms back in the 1950s. My folks got through the depression that way.

It just makes sense to have at least some weeks (or better months) worth of dry stores and canned goods stocked up all of the time. Quite apart from some zombie apocalypse, there are any number of civil emergencies, from earthquakes, storms, volcanic eruptions, or whatever that can happen.

I carry a go-bag in my vehicle that I can live out of for a week or so, until I can get home, which is my primary hole-up location.

what would be the best freeze dried food to order? Any websites that anyone has dealt with would be helpful.

When Walmart sells assault rifles, you gotta know that 1000 round ammo cans of 5.56mm NATO on stripper clips sold out of Costco can't be far behind.

I’m not sure when the tipping point occurred

While I've always had a full pantry, my tipping point came the second McLame said we had nothing to fear from Obama. What I'd suspected was confirmed that the GOP had gone to the dark side and that was the end of America.

I pray that canned ham and lima beans are not making a comeback.
