>>1652617I was thinking about it a few months before the pandemic happened. On a whim I went and bought a bunch of food and supplies. Keep in mind, this was before the hoarding. COVID-19 had never once been uttered in the press at this point.
I bought a lot of pasta, jarred sauce, canned fruits and vegetables, dried rice and beans, baking supplies (flour, baking soda, yeast, lard, etc.), various nuts and dried fruits, oatmeal, popcorn, peanut butter, vegetable and olive oil, powdered and canned milk, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, bleach, soap, water, two propane tanks that I had filled at a farming store, etc. There's a lot I haven't listed. To store it, I bought two metal shelves at Home Depot that doesn't require any tools for assembly. You just snap some steel pieces together and lay chrome wire racks across the beams.
And you know what? If things had really gotten bad, it still wouldn't have been enough to last more than a couple of years, if even. All it takes is to run out of one thing like water and you're fucked.
If we reach that point, you're going to need to know how to hunt and forage. Wood for fuel and potable water are going to be the most important resources. And so many people are going to get the same idea. Just look at all the normies who went and bought bikes and tents and decided to do that as a way to get out of the house during lockdown. All the parks got flooded with fat, disgusting Americans who haven't been /out/ in years.
This shit gets derided as LARPing for a reason. It's completely stupid to think you could survive such a scenario. The people who survive it are going to be the sociopaths that use cartel and ISIS-like tactics to control people and the resources.
