List of Pandemic Collections, Must haves for the next one!

Yeast and Flour

 

I will stock up further on 2nd amendment supplies as well as more canned supplies.

I have to make a decision regarding my next (last) residence with regards to security and non-dependency on grid supplied utilities.

Along with these decisions, canned food/ dry goods and home grown foods will also be high on the priority list.

Most importantly, being tight lipped about such supplies is a requirement for the next time.

 

like you WeldrDave i have been prepared since the boy scout days and have not made any purchases because of these events other than fill all my gas cans but that was fort the price not the panic,your food choices are great ,i stock tuna ,ramen noodles ( i actually like them but being cheap is a bonus ) rice, beans ,spices ,pastas of your choice ,caned fruit ,mac and cheese . other than food camping gear ,gas ,radios, batteries ,tarps ,ammo/reloading supplies ,vegetable seeds ,rope,tape,paper goods ,tools , i admit i dont have a lot of cleaning supplies so i should improve in that area.

 

Always.
Suggested to the wife that we should get a shipping container and bury it on the property somewhere. She was less than enthusiastic re: the idea.
Filled the truck with gas just because the price dropped by over a dollar/gallon. Might be cheaper today.

 

With this one the hand sanitizers alcohol and cleaners. We buy half a cow in November December every year. Goes us a full year. Have a good supply of canned food and wife hoards pasta. We haven’t really stocked up on much this time. Did buy pizza dough and put in freezer and half dozen frozen pizzas. We hunt and fish so there is that as well. On good years we have an abnormally large garden and we freeze tons of peas and green beans. Grow a lot of potatoes. Make lots of pickles. Last year the garden couldn’t be planted it was so wet. Buy a case of tp just to have.

 

Future "must have" list: TP, canned foods, frozen foods, drinks, and the normal everyday perishables, plenty of guns and ammo.

Future "wish list": great governmental leaders who can make difficult decisions during a very dangerous time.

 

Aside from the TP, pasta was not stocked as well as I'd prefer.


I generally like to have at least a months supply of the essentials on hand for emergency purposes.

Do have some masks and nitrile gloves. Not as many masks as this outbreak might require though. So I make sure to stock up well when I do have to leave the property.

Almost complete in the reloading arena, just waiting on 9mm reload dies currently.

One of the reasons we purchased this property was for self sustainability.
I'd still like to have a stocked pond here, just not in the budget yet. Hunting is good here, and there are fishing opportunities within a half mile.


Hopefully if/when this happens again, we will be better prepared.

 

You have a loader/backhoe, get after it

 

Nice thought.................not likely to happen because the number of "stupid voters" far outweigh the number of "common sense" voters. We have the same problem up here !!!!!!!!

 

Got caught with my pants down on that one.
It goes stale?



Could think of a few smart a$$ remarks for this, but I'll pass..........................this time !!!!!!!!!

 

When the dust settles on this one we are definitely gonna reassess our emergency inventory. I’ve put off buying a generator long enough.

 

Lots of great stockpile ideas! My feeling is, right now we are coasting on stocks of goods already warehoused. 2 or three months from now is when we see shortages of a lot of things.
A real problem could be farmworkers and meatpacking workers getting sick.

 

i wont say anything ....so you dont need to

 

It sounds much better when a woman says that!

 

Glad you didn't say, "Pics or it didn't happen"
