ur preparing now for 6 months of limited services and if nothing happens you just eat all you hoarded or use the items in a super emergency like ww3 or an earthquake or sell later if you need to pay a bill like honestly I been beaking off for a year about just spending most of your income stocking up on random things its not like total societal collapse or anything but all stores closed again another lockdown and you wont starve or riot I even got a few $11 silver coins to barter with and stuff like water filter straws and lanterns and tons of flashlights cause light is important to me- I also have like windable radio and solar cell charger and backup for awhile of my pills- I dont want to be bored to death sitting there all night so a radio is important- I even got a west coast edible plant book like $30 so I can make salads at least with some ranch dressing instead or rioting or beating people up for a can of beans lol my next things are a solar power bank + panels and a fishing kit (edit- totally forgot I am veggie now 🥦 🥕 I undertake not to take a life for nourishment even in times of distress and chaos) -so i updated things since and want to get a small burner and ceramic heater that can run off the power station and a 55 set non gmo organic heirloom seed kit so 19,000 veggies 🥕 i would be new to it and would need soil etc but better than nothing - like still want to do things if there is a world war so much things you cant predict and I dont trust all these fucken nerd koots to lead us into complete enlightenment as a society or anything like if you got 3 days stores of food good fucken luck you will lose some weight honestly my biggest accomplishment was a 6-8 month supply of essentials for me and my roomies and just when you buy ten things there is ten things more to get that would be ideal I am not being a catastrophic thinker or anything I just think any smart person or (man) over 30 should be able to take care of themselves appropriately and not beg or riot for at least 6-8 months like fuck dont make a fucken neighborhood tom cat hunt mice for you while the bombs are dropping and the stores are closed or you have to eat what is in the garbage you are better than eating mice or bugs or garbages lol
