Rough times ahead, hope everyone here has a good stack of cans, water, and bullets going already.
Call me crazy but I intend to let God provide. He warned me about these events way back in 2015 and gave me the escape plan then: "no supplies, nothing extra, you will be completely okay."
I've simply been waiting ever since. Warning family and losing friends. Now I have nobody but my wife, so at least it won't be hard to find food for just two of us lmao.
Really wouldn't be all that crazy, given that there's books written about God providing for his chosen groups, like the Israelites in Exodus. Keep steady in your faith and God will provide is a pretty common theme, after all.
I believe God has informed me to do some prep for short term hard times. Overall I agree. My wife and I have been very blessed with God’s patience and generosity.
I don't believe for a second that what I've been directed to do is the same thing everyone else should do. But I know the people I want with me and I know that they're skittish about Armageddon-type stuff and that we're going to have to take it as it comes. Red pills might not work on everybody, but when the things we warn about become reality, they'll see it clearly enough.
I've come to not just believe, that God has a plan for all of us. It's weird to finally understand that we're free to make our own decisions, that we have free will and despite that, God already knows every decision we've ever made or will ever make.
It proves to me that the truth about Creation is larger than the Bible, is larger than the faith we currently understand. I reaffirms my belief that we may never be capable of truly understanding existence.
Not until That Day. 🙂 We fight the good fight every day until then.
Congress has to hide or run at the hungry point
Cant wait for Pelosi to be dragged out of her house by her hair. Can't wait.
All we need is Snake Plissken then.
Ok now you've shown your hand this is nothing but fearporn. Well sadly it was stickied and there's nothing I can do about it except to hit the hide thread button. I'm done fighting against this garbage for the day.
Garden died to heat and lack of rain.
Even watermelons don’t like 108 degrees.
Finally rained yesterday though!
Thank God!
My garden has been an abject failure this year, despite being fully prepared. Our chickens are doing incredible though.
$12/doz eggs are coming. It takes 6 months for them to start laying...get 'crackin' 🐓
We buy ours directly from a farmer free range three bucks a dozen, oh and we have friends that just got started with chickens that also give us eggs if we want, but we like to support the farmer we've been buying eggs from for years
I've got 50 birds...the cost of feed and scratch has nearly tripled. Enjoy $3 doz for now, but don't expect it to last much longer...or until your source reads his receipt
Thanks for the tip. Is this a custom 'from the local mill' only blend or something better feed stores carry? What's it called? I'm going to guess TSC doesn't carry it.
I'm in the middle of farm country. There's a grain elevator right in my town and every surrounding town I'm not too worried about chicken feed lol. I also believe I mentioned they are free range but what do I know. My source is also a farmer...who can grow his own food for them...crazy I know right?
Just started getting fresh eggs this week. ~5 months until burdle fruit.
The world is always living on last years harvest. See ag storage
OP is making the point that the reduced harvest this year will not affect us immediately.
That lag is the reason shortages have not hit stores yet.
Well I'm in North Dakota it looks to be a very good harvest this year.
Over the past two years we've had drought, so bad that farmers were having to sell off their cattle because they couldn't feed them, that's not the case this year.
Number one producing state in a lot of crops. I don't know how it is in other states but it's been good here so far.
A good harvest of what? Ethanol-grade corn? Soybeans destined for China? Can't feed the people on that.
Also, it's important to understand that most of the coming food shortages are engineered. Bad weather is not the reason farmers are struggling all over the world. Fertilizer shortages, globalist regulations, sabotage - it's happening everywhere. Look at Brazil's beef industry, for example.
There's wheat, canola sugarbeets sunflowers not a lot of corn around here but the conditoms so far look good for corn as well. Oh and the farmers I've talked to have all been able to get fertilizer, and I talk to a lot of them working in a gas station.
But go ahead keep blackpilling everyone.
I'm just saying it's not all doom we had major drought the last two years and things are a lot better for farmers this year in my state.
I know because I live it. Trump also filled up the national food reserves as well as the oil.
No offense, but your local experience does not give you an understanding of the bigger picture.
What you describe is nothing like the situation farmers around me are facing. Many small cattle farms have shut down due to the price of feed. Fertilizer costs are up at least 75%. Farmers all over the country are talking about these things, so not sure why your area seems unaffected.
There's so much FUD going around that who knows what's actually the truth. Sometimes it feels like people want to see people suffer and then those of us who are at least a little prepared can be up on our high horse looking at those who didn't.
I think we should be prepared with a few weeks of food and supplies, but overstocking? I'm not sure that's good either.
Yep that's what we've done a few weeks of supplies
Another thing I've noticed this season is a dramatic increase in silage crops. Makes one wonder.
Is this true?
When does the previous years harvest usually run out?
Need to know how long I have to hoard non-perishables…
Idk we have a months worth of food which we rotate out and give to food pantry a few months before it gets outdated if we can't eat it.
pasta rice and beans last forever as long as they stay dry.
Proof?
This doesn't make sense. Produce doesn't last a year.
Depends on the produce, legumes & grains are not field-to-table. Canneries would be canning next year's beans from September on this year, we're eating what they did last year. Wheat in the USA was already harvested in spring using prior year fertilizer, winter wheat has not been planted (late summer for spring harvest). Further, our food intake is based around 24/7 global imports and the world around our exports. More & more it looks like multiple monkey wrenches have been thrown into the cycle so shortages hit all at once, this winter and continuing into next year. Add fuel crises (plural), grid/bank failure(s) and war(s)...you'd have a lot of unprepared screaming for .gov to save them -
Don't be this guy...
I understand all that.. and I agree.
Just saying, I'm originally from the Salinas valley.
And all the farms are still chugging away.
I'm specifically off fresh produce, farm to table perishables.
I was never talking about canned or longer lasting stuff.
Check the labels of all produce at any store. If it was shipped, it says it's from Salinas or the nearby towns.
Only thing I ever see in our store from Salinas are artichokes. Watsonville for strawberries, Maine & Quebec for blueberries & potatoes, most everything else from Mexico, Peru or Florida. Very little CA produce makes it east where I am now.

Interesting. Not the case here in SW mo where we move d to recently.
And most artichokes are grown in the Marina area, near Monterey, just north.
Most broccoli in Greenfield (lived there too many years ago) but regardless, I'm sitting kind of regionally.
Check all the leafy green vegetables. Many from Salinas. And I have family who owns one of the biggest seed companies out there still.
His biggest concern was fertilizer costs are apparently sky rocketing. But so much food here wasted and thrown away. It's ridiculous. And that's main wide.
Wow you're getting downvotes for living in farm country and saying the crops are good. Wonder how many I'll get lol.
Depends on how you store it, no?
Well yes. But every store I go to in the mid West still has the normal amount of produce. Fresh produce, not canned or jarred.
