Hearing is one thing, seeing is another.  If you're not seeing what's going on with the world's food supply, then the warning will most likely fall on deaf ears.

being somewhat self sustaining at the very least opens up more options you would have otherwise. For example like the option to NOT having to stand in a crowded area/lines to get food or water - as Ole Remus said - avoid crowded places (miss Remus and the woodpile report... sigh... I can only imagine the words he would write about current times - but one things for sure - he would preach some preps and avoiding crowds no matter the times)

Wasn't/isn't there some law on the books that makes "food hording" (more than some arbitrary limit of like 3 weeks or something) illegal?   It was widely discussed here a few years back.

I agree with him to a point. Our betters have been talking about how people will have to deal with not having everything they want on the shelves which is something I don't even remember them saying with C19.

60% of the population will be dead in 30 days if society breaks down to the point of there being no food resupply. Seriously, after about 7-10 days things will get damn interesting.

Majority of population:
Eat what you have on hand and possibly managed to scrounge from store during panic = 2-3 days
Possibly get food from sympathetic neighbor who had a little extra = 1-2 days
Go hungry = 2 days
That’s 7 days……then what?……desperation?

By end of 2023, colossal. These will create enormous HOP: Human Osmotic Pressure to migrate.

He may mean it will last a good two years with occasional resupply during that time.  

Also, food is a weapon governments like to use to subvert and control the population. In that case, having food is having freedom from that control.



I am certainly on board with stocking up but if people are literally starving, sweeping change is coming.



Like in Venezuela?


I wonder what it is like for preppers there.  How many have had things confiscated and how many have been able to hang on to what they own.

The anti-preppers always paint the most extreme sort of picture to attempt to discredit the idea of having supplies. “It will be pure anarchy by then”, “long pig, the other white meat”, “roving gangs, you won’t last that long”

Yet there are many, many instances in the real world where people suffer and struggle for years. 3rd world countries, rationing during wars, revolutions. A stocked pantry buys you time. Time to garden, time to work at other things, and time to make intelligent decisions.

But most importantly to me having a healthy pantry buys you independence from a very real control that has been used by government for as long as we have history. Many of you have thousands of rounds, body armor, gear and etc. in case you “need to defend our country against all enemies foreign and domestic” yet you can’t even feed your family if the trucks stopped for a week. You think you are a patriot and ready but you are full of shit.

Yes we have the capabilities to grow more than enough food in America. But the problem is we don’t grow all crops everywhere. You want food in Lee County, VA? You better like beef because we don’t grow grain, potatoes, corn, onions, pigs, dairy or anything else on any scale.  We can, but we would need time and specialized equipment we don’t have and in the event of an emergency may not be able to get. Do you guys really think Venezuela can’t grow enough food to feed its population? Yet how many photos have people eating from dumpsters. The same people that were likely texting friends from a smart phone months prior. How about Argentina, month and months of protracted suffering.

Now I would say I don’t care what everyone does, but that is a lie. This is my country and I want it to survive and prosper. That is best achieved by at least a part of our populace being smart enough to spend a couple hundred dollars on insurance so that they will be able to be a part of the solution rather than a burden on their friends and neighbors should a disaster occur.

Really, come on down and show me the fields. We grow feed corn. If we grew grain I wouldn't have to source it from other areas and be pushing for farmers here to grow it for our distillery. But hey, maybe you live here too and can show me all this production farming that sheet says we have.


Hell, I think there is only one combine maybe two in the county. Now am I saying there in none being grown, of course not. But there isn't enough to matter.

ETA: We actually have done a little commercial farming and I am rolling around in the back of my head growing rye and Barley at some point in the near future. It was a big deal last year and made the rounds when we were able to buy a single ton of rye from a neighboring county for the first time.

We've been doing the stock up thing for 20 years. I think we have food for 6 months and meds are sketchy.
Getting through severely hard times for two years is more than we can do.

People we take in had better have things to contribute.

It’s become hard to find people that you can trust and will put in the work. There are plenty of like minded people but trusting them isn’t always wise.  Not a good place to be in.
I’m honestly exhausted trying to hammer stuff home to friends.
They honestly think they can just hunt their food if it comes down to it.  I always respond with asking if they will eat people if needed .

Indeed 2 years is an insane amount to try and stock up on.  We're talking 2 literal pallets of MREs (per individual).

For guys out there with real disposable income to drop 10-20k on supplies I guess this is an easy thing.

But anyone that well set up is going to become a target only just months into a famine.

Oh that happened.  It was a test run.  It was called BLM summer of love.   Nobody did shit.  Nobody will do shit come teotwawki.  Anyone who stands up, will be doxxed and prosecuted, ask the couple from MO.  The good man is fucked no matter how much you want to stock up.  People/governmets will seize and redistribute all your supplies.   The FBI will lie and prosecute those who grumble and turn them into felons while they create the plans to kidnap someone stupid, like a governor or something.   If you go to a public building and are invited in by the police, they'll later arrest you and hold you as a terrorist and deny you due process.

Good points.  Why do some try to dissuade others from being self-sufficient?  To feel better about their lack of preparation?  "It won't matter cause the hood will raid and take it from you."  That's what Guns and armor and teamwork is for.  

So many have kit and arms, yet skimp on emergency supplies to take care of their family.  The gov even recommends two weeks of food, water, meds, hygiene.  A storm, hacking attack, accident, or civil unrest can pop up any time.  And while the country could feed all citizens, like canoeguy said, it is spread all over the country and not easy to distribute during an emergency, not to mention it depends on the emergency.

Biden and his handlers will probably prioritize illegals and other countries ahead of citizens...

I would have just ate the rabbit or ate whatever the rabbit was eating. I don't see how the poop got on the menu


There was 1 small rabbit for 12 hungry people after several days of hiking in 3 foot snow and no food, everything got eaten.

The poop was in the intestines.

I sense the sarcasm and I agree with you....  But 2 years?  If its that bad that 2 years of preps is recommended, I have serious reservations that most will live long enough to use it up or not have it taken from them unless its all at a some bug out location.  And even then I have to wonder.

2 years is a ridiculous amount of time to prep for. If you’re not in a community sustainable situation with other folks within a 6-12 month period you’re screwed. Preps are just to buy time while the world goes to Hell and starts sorting itself out.
