It’s a process. Bit like an insurance policy. We’ve been stacking for years and our DIL believes we’re selfish. Take the toilet paper incident at the beginning of pandemic. She keeps repeating over and over but everyone should just buy normally. My reply is but it’s not in human nature to do that when a crisis hits. But they should. Me. But they won’t and don’t. Lefties live with rainbows and unicorns going thru their heads. They believe someone will look after them like we have with covid $$ handouts. Preppers have interviews and manuals, diaries etc. available to them from people that lived in countries that fell into socialism. Venezuela the latest. In Venezuela the average person lost 20lb the first year. Bartering became the norm. Alcohol, salt, oil, sugar, spices, became like gold. These items should be kept in bulk for bartering. The biggest danger to anyone that has been wise and stocked up is to advertise it, tell no one. Keep it out of sight from prying eyes. Revise your preps on one of the big prepping sites. Good luck and stay safe fren.
