Shelves are emptying and now prices are about to jump again. This is the moment your crazy prepper friends tried to warn you about. This is your last chance to prepare for the worst.
Guns and ammo: doesn't have to be fancy. Get something you are comfortable hunting and defending yourself with.
Food: canned goods. Anything that has a shelf life longer than 6 months. Hopefully this won't last longer than a few weeks, but hope is not a game plan. Anticipating the worst is.
Warm clothing and blankets: remember the Texas deep freeze? Plan for that times 10 if you want to make it.
That's all basic stuff you can and should get right now... God bless and protect, Frens... We'll make it.
I would add coconut oil and essential oils: Lavender, Tea-tree, Clove. The coconut oil is so that you can make salve by adding a drop or two of the essentials. If affordable, get fancier and also buy eucalyptus, rosemary and rose, but those are really just feel-good IMO. Eucalyptus is good in the old steam-under-towel sinus treatment and can reduce the itch of mosquitoes. Lavender and rose are the only ones that can be used on babies (diluted) as they are not toxic. To explain: Lavender is antiseptic and heals promoting cell growth. Tea-tree is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-venom so is an excellent first-aid. Clove is just the thing for toothaches, which you don't want in an apocalypse. Be aware that using clove oil repeatedly kills nerve endings, which is like giving yourself a slow root canal. Usually takes about a week, of thrice daily application of one drop of pure clove oil. However, needs must, when your tooth is driving you insane, and the dentist is demanding a vax passport, or you are sitting in the boonies or whatever. Oh, and rosemary oil is the thing to inhale when you are feeling desperate.
Clove is also an antiparasitic
