What have you all done to prepare for these blackouts/food shortages that are in our near future??? I keep getting popup adds for 3 month supply of emergency food. My pantry is pretty stocked and I have a few cases of bottled water and plan to get more, plus batteries, ammo, etc. But 3 months? Is that a true possibility? I mean better safe than sorry but really?

Since we have governors who will shut down power during wind or for any reason they can think of and infrastructure systems that can be "hacked" and we just dont know everything they are capable of, 3 months would be the minimum in my opinion. I dont say this to create fear but we need to be real that things could get very bad in some areas and we cant rely on anyone but ourselves.
We have the good fortune to live in a rural area and could get by for at least a year without a trip to town if we had to. The Preppers Handbook, Where there is No Doctor and When Technology Fails are books I have given all my grown kids to help them put together plans.
In addition to having plenty of food, medical supplies, water, and batteries with solar chargers, people sometimes overlook having tons of garbage bags on hand for human waste (if there is no water for flushing), walkie talkies or cb radios (if cell signals are jammed), and a way to cook food - you tube has some great videos on homemade stoves and prepping.
