I've read countless prepping articles, I'm not sure I need another link to a prepping blog. I'm am more interested in knowing what my extremely smart anons are doing for prepping. An article might say I only need two weeks of food or 2 years of food, but realistically based on the political data gathered from this forum, is 3 months of food enough or too much? Is a couple cases of bullets enough or is more needed?
What prepping supplies and how much prepping supplies do YOU guys have considering that some food prepping makes sense but I doubt that things will be so bad that we need a years supply of food.
Thank you everyone!!! I'm just a worried father of 3 youngins trying to prep with a somewhat limited budget.
Also should I take out all my money from my bank and put it in a credit union or is it smarter to have it at my house because credit unions might not be accessible or might go under too?
I am doing mostly dry foods. No ammo. Don't own a gun.
It's tough to get one in Chicago.
Luckily I am in a high-rise apartment on the 31st floor.
I would buy atleast a box of ammo for barter. If u never need, you can always give to a friend
I'm in TX so this concept is completely foreign to me, but in Illinois they need a Firearm Owner’s Identification (“FOID”) card just to buy ammo. Incredibly you have to be 21 to get the card, but you can get a note from Mommy (SERIOUSLY) to purchase ammo if you are under 21.
By the way - I'm not sure I'd want to live so high up if the SHTF. Think elevators and water when the power dies.
That’s a good idea.
If I were you, I'd take a nice drive over the state line to Indiana and look into purchasing a shotgun. you can get a decent cheap shotgun for under $200 and ammo is pretty cheap and is plentiful for them as well.
Another good idea. I am from Indiana.
BB guns look pretty real these days. Also hurt.
Hurt does not equal stop.
True…but might be a deterrent or stop someone long enough to get away if you don’t have guns and live in a state where you aren’t allowed to get them.
"shall not be infringed". The example I was talking about was having it in your house/apartment during a time of social chaos caused b y food shortages - screw whatever unconstitutional law your democrat overlords have on the books.
Got any family or friends outside the city?
Yes I do. They are back in Indiana.
Reach out in case you need to bug out, and maybe have stuff to take that would be useful for them as well.
Will do!
Yeah never been a gun person. My dad and grandmother both had them.
Just never got around to getting one.
Pick up a hammer and some new tighty-whities while you're at it -- you never know when some gay prostitute, BLM supporter, Canuck, Ultra-MAGA guy will break in and challenge you to a hammer fight...
