I feel like there is so much coming... big, big stuff, in less than a month or two. And its coming from so many places and so many angles. I don't know how much to prepare or if I'm missing something that I need to do yet. I'm not sending my high school daughter back to commie school, but homeschool is out of the question so I'm not sure what to do with her.. back to virtual? She hates high school anyway and has a new job doing CNA type stuff, which she loves. My other kids are young adults. I send them info and answer their questions when asked, but they are typical young adults who just want to live life and still look at us awkwardly like we're conspiracy theorists. They know not to get the jab.. but there's so much more, right? Even our church family is pretty much clueless.... or maybe they're not??? I don't know who knows what, or who to trust! I feel like we are a privileged group holding a secret that no one will understand if we tell them. I know God is in Control... but still am concerned about the incoming communication blackout, economic collapse, likely panic that will ensue, etc... I'm not a doomer and, by nature, not a big worrier, but I'm starting to get nervous on what's coming down the pike. I feel like we're in the part in the thriller movie where you know there is something terrifying about to scare the hell out of you and you just grab onto the person next to you, digging your nails into their arm and hanging on tight, but loving the movie all the same! Anybody else feeling this???? It's kind of surreal.

Get the basics that you don't need to worry about "hording" so to speak:
Water jugs or barrels for fresh water storage. Fuck the city regulations saying you cannot collect rain water as well. Regular bleach can also disinfect many gallons of water with only drops. They have great online charts to go off of.
Keep one month worth of dried/canned foods in your pantry. MRE packets are another good option to keep around, especially if you camp.
GENERATOR! If they shut down the internet, I wouldn't doubt they would force "rolling blackouts" on us as well.
Keep a basic supply of medicine/first aid. Always good to have regardless.
Most importantly, the old saying of "keep your powder dry" is vital. If SHTF, I expect mass looting and robbing going down. Make a small but trusted group in your area. We need to help each other out in a scenario like this.
Other than that, keep with your family and keep faith in God. I take breaks from reading anything to help keep level-headed. It also helps keep the emotions of anger at bay. Focus on yourself and your family, keep enough supplies on hand...God will handle the rest.
Edit: fixed typo
get a dual or tri fuel generator. food that stores long term and rotate through it. It is a bit of work to rotate stock, but it makes sense. books, board games, cards - you might not have online things to keep entertained
Keeping lots of pasta's and canned sauce around is an easy way to rotate and have at least a part of your reserve. Pretty easy to keep a week or 2 of pasta containers around.
