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.
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?
This entire set of info is wonderful- thank your for sharing!!!! I’m going to try all of this <3
Your welcome!
