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.
Long-lasting candles!!! I bought 2 packs of three that burn a long time. (On sale for hurricane season a few months ago.) We also have an oil lamp.
Don't forget matches. Always buy matches and candles at the same time. Running out of matches (or lighters) is truly a bummer.
We still have big kitchen matches from before Y2K. I pull one out to test every few months. We still have most of a case.
I also have a magnesium fire starter, a flint and steel file, and a Zippo with extra flints and fluid. There's also magnifying glasses to start fire with the sun, and sticks, rope, wood, and tinder to start fire with friction.
I could use some of those candles. Thanks.
I've even made "meat" candles. Saving grease from cooked meats, strain well, add scent & wick.
Oooohhhhh! I like that idea!
Easy and cheap. Just be sure to strain well. You dont want bits of meat to turn rancid in your candle. I just strain thru a coffee filter.
