Anything made in China, which is just about everything.

Anything mass produced and shipped here from overseas. Cat food, diapers, drug store items, batteries, ...

When you consider that Costco, Amazon and Walmart imports almost everything from overseas it would be easier to come up with a list of things you always buy and use from them and double stock up. Many medications are imported also.

When you consider most car parts and electronics come from overseas - what do you anticipate needing in the next year?

The impact on trucking is of great concern - if there is nothing to haul there will be a lot of trucks parked.

This will really highlight our need to bring manufacturing back home.

We know what will disappear first: Toilet Paper and Paper Towels.

In flyover states we have gardens, we have local farmers markets, we have neighbors who grow corn, and wheat, and soybeans, and sorgum.. we have a history of growing food and of being a bread basket to the world over. The fly over states will be okay, outside the blue cities. In the flyover areas there is community, there exists the American spirit, where it resides alive and well. There exists the Lord. We will unfortunately lose access to cheap crap from china and the other factories of the world. But thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Perishables such as seasonal produce which can be frozen / preserved, frozen juices, imported specialty items for the holidays.

Early in my career I worked in the produce importing field, and October was always the start of our busy season.

They don’t need to strike. A huge percentage of roads are now impassable due to flooding and felled trees. 🤷‍♀️ Same result… goods are not going anywhere!

Hugs and fist bumps my Fren for thinking ahead and including us in your concerns. Sincere thanks and blessings be yours.

We live in Alaska. If the strike happens, Alaska will be greatly affected. However, we have been prepping since Obama.

I guess my suggestion for prepping now is to think about everything you do during the day and what actually goes into that to make it happen - (Breakfast - water, coffee, tea, power to heat the water or any other foods you may be cooking…etc.)

Milk freezes. So do eggs. Bake your own bread. It’s not that hard….

Gasoline might be in short supply if the longshoremen are used to pump the tankers.

Pick up cans of Tuna, beef, pork and chicken. Beef jerky, soup broth, you can fill your freezer and buy rice, dried potatoes, beans, know how to cook them, pasta, pasta sauces, tomato sauce, dried cheese like Parmesan, macaroni and cheese, Egg protein powder. Eichcorn Flour. Salt sugar, mustard and mayonnaise. Buy a couple of laying chickens and a rooster and a goose. Set it up in your back yard if you can, or find a local farmer selling eggs. Pick up a bucket of 25 year shelf life food. My Patriot Supply and 4patriots are two good ones. You need meat so spend your money on meat eggs dairy fish/seafood and any other self stable carbs are not necessary but helpful and good fats - tallow, butter, olive oil avocado oil, ghee, lard. There is no need to refrigerate farm fresh eggs with the bloom still on them. They are good for weeks on a cool kitchen counter. Canned veggies. Buy what you will eat anyway. Extra toothpaste, toilet paper, clean cloths so you can wash them and reuse them. Buy extra clean detergent, dish soap, and body soap. Don’t forget bottles of water and Coffee. Oil lamps, kerosene, flash lights batteries, weather radio. Make sure you can cook outside if you have to. Gas cans, keep you cars full at all times. If you need propane for the grill get an extra bottle. Ammo. Weapons and a plan, know where your family will be. Buy your kids the clothes they will need for the next season - look ahead several months. Basic first aid kits. Check your spice cabinet. Order a basic kit of essential oils from Young Living or Melaleuca. Get a book and learn how to use them.

I would say only you know what your household uses on a regular basis.

Definitely get toilet paper though! I was surprised yesterday at Costco how low their inventory of TP was, relatively speaking.

Almost everything plastic and clothes/footwear. If you use disposable razors and change your toothbrush often as recommended, get few extra. Tea, coffee, probably

If you are in a flyover state, you will be fine. Things come in by truck, train and plane. The ports mainly bring in the heavy stuff, metal, rock. Massive bulk loads of produce. There won't be Bananas, avacados, lumber, cars, things from china, things of that nature. Fly over states have farms so food supply is gonna be ok, not great, but OK.

In reality, this whole thing sounds like someone wants these longshoremen out of the way for a few days so that the shipments they need to come off without any prying eyes and intime for election. Still buy some stuff today. Toilet paper, food. Things like that for 2 weeks. I figure that should be enough and we go back to election talks sometime later this week.

Clay and Buck were just talking about one of their families had the Ready Radios and they were able to communicate through the storm when there was no other communication.

Couple of 5 gal of water jugs 5gallon bucket/buckets of rice 5 gallon bucket of pinto beans. Maybe a propane tank and camping stove to cook your food. Tp Ammo Firearms

This is my baseline emergency list I tell everyone . It works for alot of type of emergencys But everyone should have this already. If you are asking now what we need you are most likely not gonna make it thru this event if it happens

yeah, lets panic buy and clean the shelfs

Artificial Christmas trees... seems to be a major concern already...

Well, we still have an active rail system (no thanks to the government). So essential goods should keep coming from the Pacific side of the country.
