[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you are rich and seriously don't care; stop reading.

If you are concerned, for anything, prepping is done in rules of 3. 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months of food, water, shelter, light.

Start with 3 days b/c we could have a bad wind storm and stuff goes out or protesters could block up roads. Sure, you can survive on what's in your pantry but would it be balanced? If water stops flowing or is "bad" for whatever reason, a single mom and a kid would need 6G. Just go buy that. The three days should not require cooking so think of canned things you like, get a box of shelf stable milk or similar for breakfast. DOn't forget the canned fruit/veg.

1 person uses 1G of water a day. <-- really important.

I'm prepping for the grid, electrical, digital, to go down. Also, we will have food shortages again because of what Russia did to the Ukrainian farm fields and they might not adequately farm theres. Also, Russia supplies a lot of world oil so that might inflate many prices.

So, like in covid, we need to prep for there to be lots of pasta sauce on the shelves, but no pasta.

Inflation is coming too. If you are not wealthy and your food budget is tight, invest in large quantities of what you might need. If you like beans and rice, get 20 pounds of both.

Yes, I'm prepped. 3 months. That's b/c we live in DC. We are a target for a current war even if that is a cyber war. But we are also in DC. Civil unrest might lock us in our houses. Who knows. I like to be ready and don't think I"m paranoid.

That said, I did live most of my life in a region where we were often cut off b/c of weather events so the 2 week prep was just how I was raised.

Happy to answer questions but y'all be nice. None of this might happen. Then you'll be right. In fact, you are right right now!

This was really helpful, thank you!! I can’t afford all the panic buying again and need to plan for what is going to cost more. [/quote]
