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?

      I feel the only way to prevent it is to eliminate capitalism and thus eliminate the chances of an apocalypse. lol.

      Excluding non-human driven apocalypses of course. I feel those will be all life enders anyway. Beans aren’t gonna save you from the asteroid.

        California is overdue (geologically, not ethically lol) for a devastating earthquake. Prepping is a good idea no matter what regime you’re under. Make sure you have plenty of water, an escape route for you and your family, and survival kits. Also a good idea to communicate and plan ahead of time with cohabitants and loved ones for how to come together after such events. Like if communication somehow gets blocked, it’s good to have meetup spots and such
