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.
Be on the lookout for an older freezer with manual defrost. The auto defrost really shortens the edible lifespan of frozen foods. I have my grandparents Coldspot they bought new in 1968.
Good point. I had four old ones I got second hand years ago. Two of them shit the bed this past year, and it's impossible to find used freezers anymore. I have a guy who deals in second hand appliances (saves a fortune - perfectly good dryer cost $100 and has lasted 12 years so far) and he said last year with the lockdown, everybody was buying freezers and he can't find them anymore.
