Take it for what it's worth, but if you know me I have been around since before Voat - same name. I am pretty low key I think but judge for yourself.
Anyhoo, my husband got a call from his brother, former Commander in the Navy. He is hearing that things are going to get a little crazy in around four weeks and that people should have four weeks of food and water just in case. Be able to sterilize water too. Something to do with panicking deep staters trying to block ports and food supply. This brother is really smart - many engineering patents to his name in his post military civilian career. Retired now but was literally considered intellectual property when his company was bought and sold, etc. The regular Joe brothers tend to think he's a right wing nut, and he is absolutely right wing but so am I so that doesn't really dissuade me. Not gonna lie sometimes I think he's a little out there. But he still has friends in high places and he knows people think he's nuts but feels it's important to share. Thought I should too and let people do what they want. His point is if you spend $600 to stock up and nothing happens, you still have $600 worth of food and water. If you don't and you end up really needing it....you don't.
Pretty much everybody can afford a 50 lb bag of beans and a 50 lb bag of rice or wheat...
and some kind of sawyer water filter not the life straws ... plus a decent propane burner... will go a LONG way to not starving
having a .22 with a few hundred rounds will handle 90% of all pow pow need to boot.
Most people don’t know how to cook those dry beans. Soak, soak for a long time. And those life straws are a bad investment. Cheap, get the job done if you didn’t have anything else atm.
Agreed... also... instant pot for dry beans works awesome.... Sawyer water filters for on the run...
Alexapure or Berkey for home...
Any recommendations on which Sawyer filter?
