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.
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...
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!
