I can charge a bank of batteries with an electromagnet. If shit were bad, I could ‘acquire’ batteries from cars. I also have several pump syphons and extra gas cans (a lot of that was leftover from use during Harvey rescue stuff we did). I generally just buy some stuff every now and then when I have money that I can completely blow on shit I hope I’ll never need.

I'll be installing some solar, as a secondary back up soon. I may or may not have some guns and ammo. I have probably over a month worth of food and toilet paper. I'll be volunteering this weekend in Cookeville TN to help where I can, if I can, with whatever I can. Even if that means completely depleted preps. What's happening in Cookeville TN this weekend? Uncle Same releasing the cracklin?
March 5, 20205 yr I have enough food and beer to feed my family and get me drunk for a month. Somewhere between 5 and 10k rounds of 556. I also have enough toilet paper to clean up a small town ravaged by Ebola. Haha fuckers!
March 5, 20205 yr Honest question, why are people stock piling bottled water? It’s not a hurricane, your faucets still work...
March 5, 20205 yr An extra few months of prescription meds. The supply chain for some drugs might be borked for awhile.Non-perishable food that you'll actually eat when the apocalypse doesn't happen.Cash money. Gotta get pretty bad before American cash is useless.Booze, coffee and sugar will have barter value if the USD falls apart. Luxury items become the currency. This was proven in the Kosovo war in the late 90's. Prostitutes made out well also.

If water goes out, for what ever reason, like a main breaks, well there won't be the same level of response. And not everyone lives in perfect places where nothing bad goes on. Plus what they fuck is wrong with extra water? How else do you rehydrate after all the beer drinking?
March 5, 20205 yr Honest question, why are people stock piling bottled water? It’s not a hurricane, your faucets still work...I was in Costco on Monday and saw several people filling up their carts with multiple packs of bottled water. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels to be found and random items were uncharacteristically low or out. I do think it’s not a terrible idea to be a little extra of items you use regularly when you’re otherwise out shopping as I’m assuming that when things start getting worse, the hysterical buying will get worse and, like it or not, it will have been smarter to buy a little extra in advance. Having said that, my wife was then at Target later that day and said they didn’t seem to be low/out of such items. That made me wonder if a Costco attracts more of the doomsday prepper/hoarder type.
March 5, 20205 yr With all this talk of supply chain disruption, I might have panicked. Probably gonna need some more chips now that I think about it.
March 5, 20205 yr Someone sent me this pic of the toilet paper aisle at the William Cannon/Brodie HEB today. I see some smoking hot “super gash” at the end of the aisle.
March 5, 20205 yr Build different but comprehensive Amazon carts saved depending on the specific emergency. Ship to an undisclosed location. En route, burgle known preppers - gathering weapons, ammo, and additional supplies along the way. Once settled, focus attention on planning additional prepper heists as needed. Pro tip: Wait for them to fall asleep.

March 5, 20205 yr Honest question, why are people stock piling bottled water? It’s not a hurricane, your faucets still work...You can buy 4 24 packs of dasini or Aquafina for like 20 bucks. Those supermarket bottled gallons are like .89. Its an insanely cheap to stockpile unlike tp. When this blows over you can put it in a corner for a flood, Hurricane, tornado whatever. Then the stores will be empty of these things and you’d wish you’d have it. I bet I have 5 or 6 cases of water and a bunch of those gallon jugs in my basement

March 5, 20205 yr I always heard in a true apocalypse-like crisis, a significant chunk of the population would be dead in 14 days. I always keep at least 15 days of food, water, alcohol, and batteries. After that, I guess it’s lord of the flies.

Then the stores will be empty of these things and you’d wish you’d have it. I bet I have 5 or 6 cases of water and a bunch of those gallon jugs in my basement Several years ago we had to shut off the water in the house due to a big pipe leak. It happened over the weekend and took almost two days to get water running in the house again. It took less than 24 hours to go through 18 gallons of water at which point I just sent the family off to a hotel.
March 10, 20205 yr So the rationale we've settled on for hoarding water during this crisis are: 1) coincidental, but unrelated, pipe malfunctions during the outbreak 2) Future events like hurricanes. 3) doesn't hurt anyone so why do you care what i buy
March 11, 20205 yr X-post from stories that remind you of Surly An Australian woman took the stockpiling to new heights by accident – purchasing a 12-year supply of the necessity and turning herself into a self-proclaimed toilet paper queen in the process. Haidee Janetzki, who lives in the city of Toowoomba, about 80 miles west of Brisbane, purchased 2,304 rolls of toilet paper from the online service Who Gives a Crap, reported Reuters and the Australian Broadcasting Co. The Janetzkis typically order 48 rolls every three months, but they bungled the order after switching to a new service. She mistakenly ordered 48 boxes of the company’s toilet paper, which comes in 48-roll boxes. That amounted to over $2,000 of the stuff.
March 11, 20205 yr I usually never buy into prepping, but this feels different to me for some reason. I started accumulating extra supplies a few weeks ago to avoid the panic. Nothing crazy, but extra of what we normally buy. A variety of canned food, a variety of frozen food, two weeks of meat instead of one, pasta, rice, etc. Haven't hoarded water or TP, but do have enough on hand to get us through for a while if needed. I only own a single shotgun and a couple hundred rounds so not much there. Also pulled some cash out. Plenty of bourbon and wine, but I already had that. Fired up the generator the other day to make sure it still ran. The way I look at it is that the food will get eaten regardless so no harm there. Some of the other things I've been wanting to have on hand in case of a hurricane or other emergency anyway.
March 11, 20205 yr They go through sixteen rolls of toilet paper per month? What the fuck? My Mom used to go through a roll every single day when she'd come visit our house. No idea how that's even possible.

I figured whatever I buy that's non perishable that I dont eat, I will donate to the local food bank.
