Threat that's Profound, 6 months of supplies

[grasshopperglock]

This link describes the government's suggestion that people prep with at least 6 months of supplies. Which supplies? All of them. So either the government is doing their famous scare mongering or a power grid situation is possible.

Thank Goodness, Texas has its own separate power grid but if something happens...

My grandparents could’ve survived for years with a power outage.

I’d be lucky to make it a week.

I need to remedy that.

Build a culture of preparedness. Seems like a good idea as long as the government doesn't know you have the supplies.
You might be able to take care of yourself and they hate competition.

If this was to happen... those in the city would be in bad shape. A blood bath would ensue. 6 months without power.... people can barley wipe their selves nowadays, much less live for 6 months without power. There is so much fear driving this country... it's ridiculous.

It would be nice to not worry about the phone ringing. Maybe i'd be able to go to bed when the sun wen't down

I’m really light right now but could go a month.

 

[Dad_Roman]

I could go 2. But that includeds one midnight evac of family from Houston and 5 more mouths to feed. (2 productive)

Same here. We've been eating the older stuff to rotate it out. Mostly beans, rice, tuna, sardines, canned chicken, and Tabasco.

Hate to say it but I know what it's like to be really really hungry. Lots of my neighbors are weak and are not very defended. 4-6 months into a disaster. The basic animal will take over. In me and in them.

I need to reup my inventory to full capacity. Something I know they're not doing at their house.

Yep.

I bet in a catastrophic power outage, they’d try to confiscate our supplies, our weapons, and round us up into “refugee” camps. Then the UN would come in to “restore” “order”.

One big supply item I have that'll I fight for.

A beer making kit. The kit I have has Coors Light stuff. I can ferment a 12 back of beer. You know...for emergencies.

Then when thats up. Ill make Mead or wine.

Neighbors will expect you (us) to share because we planned and they didn't........

It won't be personal when I them tell them no........

...and it won't be personal when I protect what's mine......

I firmly believe booze should be stocked for bartering

That and other stuff things that's organic. 'Tobacco' will be a resource. If we're reduced to a bartering system. I'm in like Flinn.

Without material possessions mattering. People will seek other means to quell the desire.

I super agree. Alcohol will be a biggy.

I've got quite the selection of Spam, canned stew, tuna, and canned chicken.

It took me YEARS to eat all the sardines and fish steaks I had stored up for Y2K. I even shared with the cat! Never again.

Yeah, to hell with the cat....

 

[grasshopperglock]

Damn...I need spam too. Thank You. I'm writing it on the list.

I tried that, but I end up depleting my own stock!

If we have a major catastrophe where the power goes out for more than 2 weeks I have enough fuel and supplies to get where I am going, which won't be here in DFW. I have a plan... BTW.. in 6 months you'll want to be away from any major city... Nuclear power plants have 2 weeks of diesel generator fuel to keep the cooling systems going. After that every last one of them will go into meltdown.

You won't want to be within 100 miles of any of these little blue stars on this map.

I need a bunch of boxes of trash bags. Poop removal and other stuff. Kitchen bags for poop. Large bags that can be buried or left outside.

 

[grasshopperglock]

I have a huge roll of 4mil black plastic. 10 feet wide and dick long. Light escape prevention. I can staple up every window in the house in no time. Going dark.

Good reminder. I was doing pretty good but have been slacking lately. But the good news is that on top of a resupply soon, I'll also have all those Beto signed houses around me to raid to top things off after the power goes down.
