Many have requested that I keep doing this so if it’s helping convey a message I will
Here’s one of our grocery stores yesterday
Every time I go shopping there’s more & more empty shelf space.
Vendors compete for that real estate
American apathy and it’s results in a single pic
This is July 8, 2021
This is not March 2020. That’s 16 months ago.
I’ve used this cheapie Melatonin for a few years so it’s a regular purchase
The pills are up $1 a bottle in the last month. The dissolvables are up $2 in the past month.
Bought this exact projects table in 2019 for $24. I still have it with the price tag still on the leg
Bought this exact stock pot for my mom as part of her birthday present in January 2020. It was $16.99
Same exact pot. Same store. Same aisle.
(these are those super cheap, barely thicker than aluminum foil pots)
Our local Walmart continues to just let valuable shelf space languish
Also haven’t been able to find Lil’Cats brand of cat food for 2 weeks (which is why when I buy supplies I buy a lot)
groceries haven’t been this picked over or empty (when there isn’t a natural disaster) through my entire 40+ years
There are ZERO Mason jars or Ball canning jars. Of any size. There are no rings. And no lids. This has been an issue for so long I’m surprised they haven’t back filled the shelves with something else
it seems like nobody cares anymore.
Even this display could be improved if an employee simply re-hung the glasses up top back on some pegs but there are hundreds of feet of empty shelves everywhere and it seems like now it’s just the (sigh) “new normal”
While I self-checked at Walmart (3rd time Ive been there and there’s no cashiers) a guy walked past the self check employee and said:
🗣they don’t make you wear the muzzle anymore? Dude you’re lucky
I included: eye popping new world order fiction, SHTF references, dystopian survival fiction & political/cultural explanations as to how we landed on the precipice of total collapse
All of these books will↗️your capabilities & none are boring
Kinda dry & expensive in hard copy editions BUT FREE sun digital pdf
Probably the most widely agreed on DIY survival manual from US Navy SEALs to British SAS to French Foreign Legion.
Sold in “cigarette pack” compact editions. This plus a Bible, fishing knots reference, Police manual & Riggers/Engineers reference are in my INCH bag 24/7/365
When the international banking cartel/DC establishment & corporate media decide they’re done with someone they have the power to shred them. Cancel them. Imprison them. Ruin their lives. ⬇️
Even extremely popular Hollywood royalty (who headed SAG as a Democrat) and a billionaire glitterati playboy who was also a photo op of left & right equally.
President Reagan.
President Trump.
And anyone and everyone in between.⬇️
It amazes me how Team Blue & Team Red fall for it decade after decade.They never question inflation. They never question usury banking.They never question the obvious alliances between poison foods & poison drugs. Drugs designed to ease the ailments caused by the poison food.⬇️
⭐️these are not recommendations for healthy eating nor longterm diet. They mimics of US military MRE components available outside surplus market⭐️These “foods” have long shelf life:
5 reasons why regardless of price there is no such thing as an outstanding store bought survival kit or bug out bag:
1. Quality survival gear is produced in batches. There aren’t enough units manufactured for kit builders to purchase at wholesale or large group breaks ⬇️
2. Retail purchasers all approach their purchase with the same childish mentality. If the cumulative total of the contents are in excess of retail price points or at break-even they turn on youtube, pick through the kit and declare it poor value “cuz I could build this cheaper”⬇️
3. If the builder/seller of quality survival kits offers refunds the purchasers (see 2 above) invariably “forget” to include the Swiss Army knife, MSR water filter or Leatherman upon returning w/ demand for refund of a great, non-defective kit⬇️
They last longer than groceries. >dehydrated “emergency food”
1. field strip MRE’s(cut volume) 2. carry in smaller rucks/haversacks 3. add a jar of peanut butter,instant coffee & oatmeal, Cliff & candy bars to each load
I build MRE’s in bags that can be grabbed in addition to a BOB or field pack
Each ruck/bag feeds 1 person for 10 days. They also contain:
-knife
-bandanas
-steel cup/bottle
-mini survival kit
-3mil liners
-water purification
-TP
-candy & jerky
MRE’s are buggin out/ field food
As MRE’s skyrocket in price (5 years ago a late date case was $90) do our be fooled by the military marketing
Half of the 24 menu options are one shade above gross & a few are actually quite edible. Their main benefit is you don’t have to boil water or create a big footprint
The most common mistakes I’ve personally seen in peoples preps:
-mistaking 6 weeks of food for 6 months
-nowhere near enough stored water
-nothing stronger than Advil for pain
-no trauma kit (coagulate, tourniquets, chest seals, IBD’s)
-no antibiotics ⬇️
