How are your prepping for a potential emergency?

[JamesGatz]

I plan on buying farmland and "tools' to defend myself within the next 2 years and starting small to become eventually mostly self-sustainable. 10 years ago I would have never envisioned myself doing something like this, but feel that it is necessary given how fast my country (US) changed and what measurements were exercised due to covid, Mixed in with the fact that farmland is being heavily bought up by the same people pushing a vegan narrative, I don't like where this is going at all. I am concerned with what actions can be taken by this country in the future under the pretext of an "emergency"

I wish I could do the same. I live in the US too and am in disbelief how fast the "American Way" has disappeared! What state are you buying in?

I'm sure you know where all this is going since the government is just following what the "conspiracy theorists" keep gossiping about.

I try not to overthink it. I just know life isn't going to be getting any easier moving forward.

I stocked up on a bunch of dried seaweed. Ghee too!

Matches
Petfoods
Backstock of personal meds
Camptove with fuel, or bbq
Water filter
Small plastic basin
Since we are always on earthquake alert, loss of utilities is a probable, not just a possible. Shovels for digging a potty trench, campstove or bbq for stovetop cooking, and plenty of water and 2nd level First Aid is a must. What if you need stitches but the roads are impassable?

History no matter what's been covered up is always something to look back at for guidance, we communicate with our memories, the "Bible" could not have been written without a context of memories to fall back on. Some sort of context no matter how 'silly' it is is nice to have.

Would dried bananas be ok ? I know they are not peaty ordinarily

Most dried bananas are deep fried first. Be careful.
Dayglow nightsticks are handy too, and headlamps. The glowsticks as bracelots and necklaces help keep track of your pets, kids too.

I found dried bananas with coconut oil

For the serious prepper, you could can your own butter and milk. Butter can be good 5 years! Powdered eggs, freezedried hashbrowns, there are gallons of dried fruits and veggies, butter powder, cheese powder, cream powder on the bulk aisle at Walmart
A full size bearspray dispenser ready at your door is good for those unaccustomed or unwilling to engage with 2nd Amendment.
Enclosure: a homebuilt unit under the coat and gear rack fir water and dried stores

Of course history is important, but it doesn't necessarily foretell our future, that would be getting a little too comfortable.

“History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Hah. Not too many of us are worried here. 65-75 degree days May to Oct we have plenty of time to dig clams on the beach or riverbank fish, of in the salt for crab and shrimp, halibut and rockfish. So mant bunnies aroynd if we really got hungry in between caribou, moose and deepwater salmon species. Every 4th house has chickens or goats and many have coupla cows that get sharefed then split up when its time. I just had an oilfield well specialist look at my well to see how I can rig up a handpump if the power goes out. I was just thinking since I have unlimited blue glacier water for free, I shouldnt always rely on the power company to pull it up.

Alaska?

 

[akgrrrl]

Alaska?

Yep. In the south central. No killer cold for me. I like winter to be lovely

Wow that is not how I imagined Alaska to be! Our cousins have lived in Chicken Alaska for the past 30 years.

Your yard looks so quaint!

Discernment. Since you could fit Texas into Alaska 5 times, there are microclimates and many terrains and resources.

It is beautiful! Have you always lived in Alaska?

Oh thank you! Its more like HobbitHole#3. Except for siding, everything was out of the dump, or scrap, all rockwork I did was rocks gathered within a mile of my land. Its 2500sq feet of functional. Been trying my hand at bucket gardening without success stories, may go back to ground planting
