Sorry for the black pill… but there’s really no other way to address this issue. we NEED to be prepared for the worst case scenario even though we may not ever get there. And those who have not yet prepared, let’s help them out.
Here’s why one needs to be prepared for the worst…

I think it’s time we help each other with preparing for potentially the worst. I believe we will jump into a severe depression, so our commodities may actually end up being tradable goods and benefit us.
Please contribute information for our fellow community members who may not understand much about prepping. I will comment below as well.
Don’t forget hygiene items like tampons, soaps and what not.
Silver colloidal soap is antigenic and promotes healing. I stocked up on that. I see any skin disruption heal faster with it.
Where do you find colloidal soap? I’ve heard of liquid silver colloidal, just not as a soap. Would love to try it!
I recently started using Dr. Bronner’s Castile bar soap. And I also got some of their liquid soap, I get unscented. The bar soap is around $3.62+ depending where you get it. It lathers up and washes nice. Also can get the liquid Castile soap and make your own soap, shaving cream & shampoo. I was going to make my own toothpaste with coconut oil & baking soda, but I found that Dr. Bronner’s makes toothpaste also (not with their soap, lol). It works great but doesn’t lather up like regular toothpaste so it’s weird at first.
The homemade shampoo made with this soap & coconut milk isn’t the same as regular shampoos. It lathers up real nice, you only need a little bit (and it’s not thick liquid it’s very watery like) and it rinses nice also. The only thing is your hair feels kinda weird after you rinse, hard to describe, but your hair will dry quickly and feels nice & clean. You can add essential oils if you like. You can also do a hair rinse for after washing your hair with apple cider vinegar & water, you can also add essential oils to that also. After getting use to it, it doesn’t seem weird anymore. We are just so used to commercial products with who knows what in it, that it takes time to get use to homemade stuff.
Would you be so kind as to share the shampoo recipe? Thx!!
~1 can of coconut milk
~1 cup and a half of liquid castile soap (I use Dr. Bronner's castile soap)
~10 drops essential oil (whatever scent you like, use 100% essential oil)
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Use a glass bottle for storage since the essential oils require it. You can also put it in a plastic bottle if you don’t have it.
Here's some other recipes also ...

You can also buy Dr. Bronner's castile soap & other products online at Walmart. I haven't seen their products in store in my area. The bar soap is great though a little expensive at over $3 a bar. Sometimes our grocery store has a few bars.

If you want to do the apple cider vinegar rinse, this is the recipe I use on my hair. I just washed out an empty plastic syrup bottle (maybe a 24 oz bottle), works great, my hair is a little long (mid-back length), so if you have shorter hair you can use less if you want. I found that lavender works great with the ACV, makes my hair soft, however you can use any scent of essential oils you like (make sure they are 100% essential oil) ...
~2 - 3 tablespoons ACV
~few drops of lavender or whatever type of essential oil you prefer, add as little or much scent as you prefer. A little bit of essential oil can go a long way.
~water (fill up the container with warm/hot water.
I usually just put in the ACV & essential oil in bottle, put the cap on and fill the bottle in the shower so the water will be same temp.
There are other recipes you can use castile liquid soap with. Like body wash, face wash, hand soap & shaving soap.
I usually use dawn dish soap, water & essential oil mixed together in a foam pump soap bottle for hand soap.
Hope this helps! Sorry it took so long to answer you back.
Maybe I should do a post about this, wonder anyone would be interested?
