With things being as crazy as they are and have been the past 2 years I’ve been seriously considering building up a stock of emergency supplies to last for a week or two ever since the first Covid lockdown. You know, not to survive the apocalypse, but to bridge short-term supply disruptions (eg toilet paper, sunflower oil, pasta, etc) and just to be safe and not rely on delivery services in cases like quarantine.
But I’m not exactly loaded, so I’ve put it off so far to save the money. Winter slowly approaching has me thinking again tho.
How do you feel about this? Already got your bunker set up? Think it’s a waste of time, space and money? What would you reckon is essential? Any guides/lists?
I’ve got some small totes with a couple sacks of beans and rice. We have Costco amounts of cooking oil and TP (as well as bidets, as mentioned in comments below). We also have a fair amount of liquor and hand sanitizer, as well as first-aid and trauma kits. I also have firearms and ammunition. I’m in northern California, and we’ve experienced multi-day blackouts, fire evacuees, and gas shortages. Those are the kind of scenarios I am prepped for.
