I think I should rephrase "you're likely to have your stuff taken from you".... I wasn't referring to us here, we're armed and have had training. I meant folks that have done nothing other than buying a hand gun and one box of ammo, and have no idea how to use it. Those folks are hosed for sure.
It's also fair to say that I don't have the most ideal set up on the planet, but I do have enough of most stuff if used sparingly, to probably last two years. Gasoline excluded, I did have a plan for that at one time....never followed through on it though. Wife knows how to can, her Mom was full of little tricks for different foods and taught her all that....but she never got all the supplies to get moving on it, and proper storage at optimal temperatures can be an issue for anything if you're restricted in usable space dedicated for that.
YMMV. Adjust for the size and layout of your property. We've determined our minimum is twice that.
Filling my 36 gal tank is a challenge ... because the local stations cut-off the flow at $75 to $125. So it's prudent to NOT get below half a tank.Quote:
Also (not applicable to SHTF) we will be experiencing more and more gas shortages as time goes on. Don't run to empty - and it's bad on fuel pumps to do that anyway. Possibly consider getting bigger tanks as well, a nice hedge against the retardation we are and will be dealing with.
Regarding inventory shortages: I checked ...
... Augason Farms
... Valley Food Storage
... Mountain House
... Legacy Food Storage
... ReadyWise Food Storage
ReadyWise seems to be the sole one with substantial inventory right now. But if the trend I've been seeing with the others continues ... you'd better hurry.
Carl's Jr today...

Two drive-thru's I went to over the last week to grab lunch we're out of various sizes of cups.
Walmart by me hasn't had a propane delivery for a couple of weeks. Went in to get an exchange nada !!!
Fortunately Chick-fil-A is not dealing with the same shortage as Carls Jr.
They actually have a great new deal going.
