TDLR; I'm preparing to be able to go 1 year without hitting the grocery store.
People, if you have kids, please get organized for a pretty rough time. We have a convergence of crises, which can make life rough for a while. We are now in a historic solar minimum. That's going to disrupt agricultural output significantly. China is expecting Biblical flooding this spring, which is likely to wipe out as much as 25% of some of their staple crops. If we combine this with conflicts and raising energy prices, we can definitely see supply chain disruptions.
My intention is to have a year of food on hand for my family at all times, and then rotate through the food. I'm surprised how easy and inexpensive it can be. I got about 2 months of storage food and then bought bulk grains, pasta, beans, etc from https://www.webstaurantstore.com/.
I then bought spirulina and protein powder for the family enough for 2 months. My thinking is derived from thinking about the families who lived through WWII. If I was a year away from an event like WWII, what would I do now to prepare?
- food
- bug out plan
- community
- 2A gear
- light, 1st aid, tools
- Fuel and generator
- Ham radio
- printed maps with off-freeway routing
- silver coins
It doesn't affect me at all if everything stays cool and there are no problems at all. We will just consume it and rotate the stores. If SHTF, there will be wild mobs fighting over supplies and we'll be able to operate strategically.
I've stored food and water in abundance, but I've gone one step further: I'm pigging out while watching the Show and I've added to my survival chances by storing fat like a bear before hibernation.
Excellent idea
Yea....not sure you're doing it right :). Our most likely threat is round 2 of the bioweapon. As Gates said, the next one will be 10 times worse. That dude would know! He helped fund the current weapon.
So, I am pretty sure that nutrition and health are more important than stored food (or fat :) ;) )
I may be wrong but my last meal will include as much as I want to eat plus dessert. Also, a defense against any illness is to have enough meat on my bones. I'm good.
FWIW I put on weight in preparation when I saw the 'rona coming in Jan/Feb last year. Then I caught it in Mar/Apr and lost the weight again, I hadn't realized at the time how low the death rate is. I know most people don't have the 'rona badly, but I did and was ill for 12 days so it worked out.
I am not sure about that. I know that the US was doing gain of function research under Herr Fauci until it was time for human trials. Further, it seems that Fauci then directed US funds to do gain of function research in Wuhan. further, it seems that the lab in Wuhan was doing research into bat coronaviruses.
I do not know how one can conclude that this was not a bioweapon. Maybe it was not intentionally released, but it seems that it was intentionally created.
Please educate me if I'm wrong.
