With things being as crazy as they are and have been the past 2 years I’ve been seriously considering building up a stock of emergency supplies to last for a week or two ever since the first Covid lockdown. You know, not to survive the apocalypse, but to bridge short-term supply disruptions (eg toilet paper, sunflower oil, pasta, etc) and just to be safe and not rely on delivery services in cases like quarantine.
But I’m not exactly loaded, so I’ve put it off so far to save the money. Winter slowly approaching has me thinking again tho.
How do you feel about this? Already got your bunker set up? Think it’s a waste of time, space and money? What would you reckon is essential? Any guides/lists?
A little bit won’t hurt, I like to keep about a month of supplies on hand in case of severe weather like tornadoes or getting snowed in, or some other more personal and attainable ‘doomsday’ like economic hardship and injury.
I’d suggest getting things you’d eat and are reasonably easy to make, maybe some water/way to purify it. Beyond that maybe get some things to prepare for emergencies you’d see around you, floods, droughts, etc.
I personally wouldn’t go full doomsday prep the bunkers for 5 yrs, since if whatever happens is that bad you need people and connections more than you need supplies, assuming its even survivable.
