As I was folding the laundry this evening and musing on the worn out condition of some of mr. mm’s undershirts, it hit me that one thing that has not been mentioned for long term prepping is clothing.

We have socks, jammies, underwear, shirts, that are not new and could use replacing in the next year or so.

But can we do it?

What about shoes and boots? Winter coats and gloves? Bedding? Towels?

Survival is more than food, water, heat, and ammo. You need to keep warm on top of it.

I figure the time to buy is now while the goods are still available, we have the money, and it’s still worth something.

Most, or many undergarments are made of cotton, or of a cotton blend.
The price of cotton is at a 10 year high ,
so I would advise you to buy now to escape the price increase.

Good point on clothing. Both of us own too much as it is, and we’re more than equipped for life in Wisconsin in the winter months.

BUT - still a good reminder.
