Thought I'd share a supplemental tactic that I think could help some folks out, both for prepping and normal life.

I'm lazy.  I value convenience over most things, as there just never seems to be enough time.  I was in search of quick meals that are a) healthy, b) fast / limited prep, and c) taste good.  I landed on HUEL, which is a pea protein based vegan meal supplement.  This shit is great (get the vanilla).  The bags store for 12 months or so, and 6 months once opened.  I have used it mostly for weight management in the past 12 months and I've enjoyed it.  Really like their new variety called "Black", which has increased protein content....so I've increased my use for my meal following a workout.  Anyhow, it dawned on me that I prefer this much more than MRE's, so I bought a few "extras" to rotate into my cycle while the apocalypse is happening.  I think it's one of those "off the radar" options.  https://huel.com/.  Not to mention it has amazing value per meal with zero waste (we throw away a ton of food in our house, which pisses me off).  Qty 17 - 400 Calorie meals per bag.

Enjoy!

The wife and I made a run to the HEB across from the Hill Country Galleria. Place was pretty wiped out, but the hoarding zombies were still in force. I went in for beer and left happy.

Saw Sergio Garcia and his wife in one of the bare frozen goods isles. I kid you not when I tell you that he had the same look on his face that he gets when he’s going backwards on the course. In his defense there were a lot of people with the same bewildered look, but I was amused a bit.

They won’t ship to me and won’t deliver since I’m 90 miles from the nearest. Biggest thing is I just spent almost a thousand on guns this week so another 800 or so for a decent sized freezer just can’t happen. 

sounds like you are set up to "acquire" a full freezer if you need to...

Should we have a humor thread related to this?

 

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but my 4yo has pneumonia and while he’s not bad enough to be hospitalized (not that we’d want to go there anyway), he’s really struggling with cough. We’d like to buy him some medicine to help with his cough and pains, but cannot because FUCKING HOARDERS. I realize this is different than “prepping”, but dammit I hate stupid people so much.  

Luckily I live in a cool neighborhood and our neighbors are helping out.

Go to the shittier neighborhoods and check the mexican markets. The ones by me are fully stocked because the crazy ass white people don't go there.

Well I am Team Streetsweeper. If I am gonna be bleary-eyed I don't want to need to aim.

I went to one by me Saturday. Shelves fully stocked, plenty of produce, full meat counter, and stacks of toilet paper.

And they had people constantly cleaning all the surfaces.

I keep the .357 loaded with alternating hollow points and shellshot. Figure squeeze off two and I'll hit something. 

Rundberg HEB. Toilet paper serious business.

I really don't get hoarding medicine. You won't need hundreds of Tylenol or Mucenex or whatever. You're either good on a normal amount or you're dead.

That’s the ninth weirdest thing they’ve had me do at work there this week

Every time I've been in Fiesta I am borderline freaked out by how clean they are.

Never used an RDS?  Get one for the shotty, could prove useful.

Yeah, exactly. But- you can’t really seek to understand stupid, I guess.

Hand grip only shotguns are stupid. Stand on your hind feet, put the buttstock up to your shoulder, and aim it like God intended.

There was a run on humus at my HEB. Not one single one left. Freaking humus?

i kindof got the itch for an old beat up Rem 870 now.  Actually, an M1A would be nice too.  Get off my lawn!

Just don't use it in your house. L.O.U.D.

I don't remember what spurred me on 7-8 years ago but I have 600# of rice, 450# of beans and 50 gallons of honey when I checked the supply depot a coup,e days ago.  The chickens started laying pretty consistently again a few weeks ago, last year I gave away hundreds because 6 eggs a day adds up quickly  

Anyone have a recipe for that?   

I also rediscovered 3 cases of everclear and CVS had tons of aloe after sunburn gel so I should be able to make a little impromptu hand sanitizer

Isopropyl is 79¢ a quart. Why waste the good stuff?

Because it’s inferior, even in a 70/30 solution, to ethyl alcohol in killing bacteria and viruses. 

To compliment the .45 in the center console, my ARX100 is going behind the seat tomorrow. Gonna sight it in and test the ammo for reliability. I swear I have some Hornaday TAP FPD around here but I can't find it. That match ammo there will hafta suffice.

How old is that rice and how is it packed? I didn’t think rice kept more than a year or two

I found 2 cans of beans, no chicken broth at all. I had to buy shells since all the spaghetti was gone. I also had to get organic cheese and deli since that was wiped out too. I got the last Mrs Baird's wheat bread so I have that going for me. The rest, I just went for frozen food stuff. 

 

Stuff like this might be more appropriate for this thread instead of plugging up the mega thread.

Beans, rice and a fried egg is a staple dish in Costa Rica.

get a script for whatever "buterol" your doc recommends and buy a Nebulizer, they cost $50

Anyone know where you can get 9mm ammo? Cabelas has been out for a week they said. Sorry, late to the firearms race.

I have plenty. Dress your wife up nice and send her over.

Since I've got plenty of free time I've been thinking about buying some cheap land out in maybe west Texas and building a getaway cabin.  Someplace relatively isolated.

 

Anyone got suggestions for an area I should look at.  I'm not crazy about the desert but I guess I could manage it.

Shit. You could buy a ranch near big bend for pennies on the dollar. But then you have to deal with vagabonds in the area.

It’s a shame. That’s some of the most beautiful land in Texas. Hopefully we’ll get in under control someday and be able to enjoy it again.

Why not both - end of debate

No clue. I stocked up on .40 s&w as the shit was starting to hit the fan. Then went back a week later to get some 00 buckshot.... And it is sold out everywhere. Every brand. Every store. Completely gone.
