Why haven’t you started prepping yet? Seems like theres several economic indicators for it.>huge percentage of people don’t have savings to cover any sort of emergency>food prices are inflating higher and higher each year>signs of economic downturn are constantly showingSeems like a no brainer at this point to invest a couple hundred into dry foods and preservation containers.
vitamins, rice, canned meat, waterez clap
>>61207544Bump.Get a few 20 Liter water cointainets.Also just buy food for 2 weeks and have cash at Hand.
>>61207544I bought a bunch of 20 year shelf life cans of food during covid
All your doing is building a cache to be raided by someone with guns, unless you're obviously training with your own.
>>61207544Is there a comprehensive guide for prepping somewhere on the web? I've bought enough of the assets I want and am now just holding cash.
>>61207562All good to have. Certain canned foods can last indefinitely past expiration with only some taste and nutritional value lost, but are otherwise safe>>61207580Yup, roughly 1 gallon/3.7 liters of water per day per person is a good calculation. Can probably ration it to go further. Also, filters like those Lifestraws or Sawyer filters are great to have in the event that you can still get a decent water source (rain, river, etc.)
>>61207606Theres a WIDE spectrum of scenarios between the status quo and a Mad Max apocalypse where raiders are everywhere looting everyone. But yeah, you should definitely have a form of protection/security if you are at a point where stockpiling food is also viable for your situation.
>>61207544Never shelter in place. Be a raider.
>>6120771365 IQ post
>>61207713you'll be dead in a week and everyone will be happy to see you go
>>61207685Right, people pretend like there's one doomsday apocalypse and really you could just have a power outage or some supply chain shortages or intermittent riots or whatever and it's good to have a month or three of food stocked up.>>61207662I like zero water filters just for a patrician setup if the water pressure fails and my RO system won't work. Easy for a short term setup of a few months, buy a new big zero, stick 10 sealed filters inside of it, open it up when you need it, that's 400 gallons.
>>61207544canned food kinda sucks and has a weird flavor, I'd rather let some other faggot plant some crops while I provide erotic drawings in exchange, I'd get guns to raid prep fags but what if someone is gathering guns to raid fag gun holders? i'd rather get good at drawing lewd anime stuff
>>61207544Imagine being unable to hunt and fish.Imagine being unable to tend a garden.Imagine not having chickens and other livestock.Just lol at city dwellers.
>>61207713Yeah man, Enable a post-modern human to go hunt you after you "Pillage everything". Surely being a raider wouldn't backfire
>>61207544Yeah all of this is a continuum. If you don't have at least a couple of week of food you're stupid.Also, you don't necessarily need wild foods at that level of preparation. Let me say from experience living on rations climbing mountains- get shit you LIKE. If you almost never would eat rice or spam, don't buy that shit.If you're not a complete poorfag or trying to buy so much you can live underground for 50 years think about the shit you actually like that has an OK shelf life of a year+ and then buy it, and cycle through it.If you like pasta buy pasta. But cans of pasta sauce you LIKE. If you like sardines and protein powder, get that. If you like chocolate bars, get em. Baked beans, nuts, beef jerky, go for it. Don't buy 5000 lbs of powdered milk or other shit you'd never use irl.If you'd NEVER eat regular pudding or some shitty mashed potatoes why the fuck are you buying freeze dried packs of it?
>>61207642get a farm
>>61207771>Imagine being unable to hunt and fishThat's fine, but if shit gets bad the local wildlife population will be depleted a la Venezuela. And being outside will expose you.>Imagine being unable to tend a garden>ChickensCute if you've got the space and time, but even then you'd want canned stuff sitting by just in case someone decides to mess up your shit
>>61207767>Draw lewd animeSee this is what I'm talking about. Hoarding food means nothing. Having a skill means everything.
>>61207767In the event that you survive long enough for bartering/independent farming to start taking place, why would someone trade resources for entertainment at that stage? That’s also assuming its a situation where all the lude printed media is gone, but art supplies are not. Chances are you are not going to find that one weeb thats also a great prepper/farmer, who is also willing to do trade with you. More than likely they would be a normie that finds your skill off-putting and deliberately NOT trade with you.
>>61207790This.Though I would say, if space isn’t a problem, then getting a hundred pounds of rice/dry beans/oatmeal isnt that bad. It will cost you like $200 in food/materials (mylar and 02 absorbers), and those foods preserve for like 25-30 years. Then fill in the rest with food you actually can eat/rotate.
I have a modest stockpile. I figure the most likely contingency in my area is a blizzard taking out power and shutting down all the grocery stores for a week or two.outside of that I'm not entirely sure what I should be stockpiling for. am I exclusively feeding myself for months? in which case I should buy as many rice and beans and vitamins as I can afford. or are there still going to be food banks, in which case it's maybe better to stock up on tradable luxuries like liquor and chocolate.
>>61207544>>>huge percentage of people don’t have savings to cover any sort of emergency>>food prices are inflating higher and higher each year>>signs of economic downturn are constantly showingmust be hard to be this retarded, anon, I'm so sorry
>>61207544I'm not some weird antisocial loner who thinks he can survive without the help of other people or without helping others Also I'm not afraid to die.
>>61207544>dumb Americans containment thread
>>61207606Obviously a prepper will have guns
>>61208130Guns are useless against gasoline and a match
>>61207544yes its good to be prepared but people have been "predicting" the end of the world and the breakdown of society for decades, its not gonna happen, at least not overnight
>>61208151wat
>>61208159you camp out in your house with a bunch of food, water, medicine, guns, and ammo,and someone is just going to light your house on fire to kill you. It's not the zombie apocalypse, you're not trying to fight idiots. The very first thing they'll do is light your house on fire
>>61208207what's your game plan? walk up to someones front lawn with a jerrycan and a matchbook? see >>61207723
>>61208232I don't have a game plan, nobody here doesone bearded virgin in a basement isn't going to be able to watch every approach or shoot every person with a molotov cocktail. They will die, and it won't take long to kill them.
>>61208207Why would someone go around lighting random inhabited houses on fire, destroying everything inside while also painting a huge target on their back? These people will exist, sure, but will pretty quickly become rare once they either kill each other or are killed by groups or individuals that are willing to protect each other.>>61208107It sounds like you ARE an antisocial weirdo that is going to go on suicide missions the first chance he gets.Again, theres a spectrum of society between current status quo, and your hypothetical apocalypse world where maniacs are firebombing houses and nobody does anything to stop them.
>>61208286>It sounds like you ARE an antisocial weirdo that is going to go on suicide missions the first chance he gets.No, I'm a former prepper that understands survival would depend on cohesive groups of people that actually care about each other, not selfish man-children hiding in basements trying to defend a stash of food from gangs of people trying to kill them.
>>61207544In actual civilizaion collapses the only people who "make it" are military forces/mercs>super rich/elitesget killed by their own mercs>farmersget en-serf by local warlords>City dwellersstarve to death>off-grid/prepper typeshunted down and killed by warlordsThe only "winners" are 20-40yo male soliders with a life expectancy of 45yo. Combat outposts become the new "cities" and naval bases become pirate-merchant towns hoarding technology.
>>61207544wheres your pokemon booster boxes?
>>61208356So you went too far down the prepper rabbit hole, and radicalized yourself into thinking it’s best to be even more antisocial and loot others? Makes sense. Again, the idea that you are better off not preparing at all because you can go around burning down houses for survival is retarded.
>>61208249How does wanton arson even benefit the perpetrator?>one bearded virgin isn’t going to be able to watch every approachHow about a family household with binoculars and scoped rifles in an acreage surrounded by fields?
>>61207544I live in the UK and we aren't allowed guns, so doesn't seem like there's any point.
>>61208683>I live in the UK and we aren't allowed gunsYou retarded or something?
>>61208640>How does wanton arson even benefit the perpetrator?If I'm searching vacant houses with my family looking for food, and some smelly dumbass pops up with a gun and shoots my wife, I'm burning that house down and killing him whether I know he has food or not.preppers won't die because they have food, nobody knows what they have.they will die because they're willing to kill others to protect their stash. And that's reason enough to get rid of them
>>61208718So once again, your plan is to live an antisocial lifestyle of breaking into homes. When you inevitably break into someone’s home that does not like intruders, and they shoot someone in your family, but also for some reason let you go, you are going burn down their house.Dude you live in more of a fairytale than 99% of preppers. That plan would work MAYBE once. And by “work” I mean definitely get you killed.
>>61208683allowed rifles, shotguns, and meme black powder pistols, as well as compound bows, crossbows, slingshots tazers, pepper spray, and thermite are all possible to DIYproblem is you don't see a point to any of that and would rather whinge
>>61208683Bruh there are well known blueprints out there to 3D print (+ trinkets you can find in any Home Depot) fucking AR15 with guaranteed 500 rounds shot before it start to break apart.You can do it for like 40 bux worth of material and 3D print goo.Just make sure you don't go to random 3D printers, because cops handed them all the parts' blueprints and the printers will snitch on you 100% of the time if they think you are building a gun. And in Bongistan if you are white it's guaranteed jail time, even if you didn't assemble it yet (yeah that's fucked, but that's how you know you live in a jewish tyranny).The only tricky part with 3D guns is finding the ammos (it's often guns designed for NATO 5.56 or 9mm), but even for that you have ways to play around it (or just know someone with a license ready to buy it for you).
>>61209514> Just make sure you don't go to random 3D printers, because cops handed them all the parts' blueprints and the printers will snitch on you 100% of the time if they think you are building a gunRedpill me on this. I know bambu reports to chairman mao. Are elegoo or prusa safe?
>>61208155Solar flare could wipe out the Network infrastructure at any moment
Prepping doesn't compound
Im not prepping for shit i have no friends and neither do you loser
if a doomsday scenario happens where its so bad that it requires frequent combat skirmishes from starving marauders, why even desire to inherit an Earth of that much misery? just stock up to survive natural disasters, or economic shock events. anything more than that is just extending one year of miserable survival to two. read The Road. survival slobs are retarded, you should be investing your time in healing your fellow man of the nigger brain virus.
>>61208286>Why would someone go around lighting random inhabited houses on firebut this is what happens in most western urban areas the very moment the lights go outburning shit down is a pastime event now
So.....Nov 1st for black ppl?Because stores are gonna be raided.Can you shoot to kill if that happens?
>>61207544you call this preping? lmao. how to prep:1. cook meat2. put in mason jar with vinegar
>>61207544Im still bagholding a bunch of expired canned food from the covid end of the world panic incited by fucking /pol/ doomer chuds...
>>61214747How long was your HODL? Most canned goods are still okay many years after the date
>prepping under Obama>prepping under Trump insteadno refunds!
>>61207544I have. my monthly prep budget is 1000 dollars. you can't stop whats coming. in the last 6 months ive got solar, batteries, a generator, increased ammo by 10%, got training, made friends and increased food and water by more than a month each. I'm not set for 20 years but being at it 2 years now I'm way better than average. It adds up quick if you put time and money into it.
>>61207790>If you don't have at least a couple of week of food you're stupid.I'd argue you should shoot for 3 months at minimum. If for no other reason than supply chain bullshit.In 6-9 months I'll for sure use 6 months of pop tarts, costco snacks, toilet paper, wet wipes, soap, toothbrushs and toothpaste, laundry detergent all the shit you use constantly thats vulnerable to all sorts of BS that would make it hard to find.I bought a ton of rice and beans which I probably wont eat unless it gets bad but it's cheap insurance. Boxes of mac and cheese, potatoes, canned stuff, I'll all use.
>>61215191is it more palatable to the room tempies if call it be an adult and have all the shit you'll need for a year or two today? Add in some contingencies like firearms and emergency gear that don't use daily, but like a fire extinguisher, if you need it you need it
I am literally an indoor shrimp farmer running 95% off solar. The other 5 or so percent is pop cans I use to heat a thermal battery. I will literally never run out of food as long as I have a forest to keep my crops growing using the slash and burn method. I'm telling you guys, the indoor shrimp farmers and chicken farmers will inherit the world.
america moment
I don't prep food. I prep power.
>>61216799This is my new one. She is a cutie!>I can be your girlfriend tonight
>>61207544During the 'demic I bought 50kg worth of dry/canned food, but it kinda blackpills me that this wouldn't be enough to survive in a true preppy situation where Id have to learn to farm for us to survive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQWE1I3i-9gI like this dudes setup for hydroponics. The channel has some good videos. No it isn't going to replace the need for bulk storage, but having supplementary fresh fruits and veggies at limited cost is prepping 101.
>>61207642
>>61216870For me it is John Seymour.
>>61216704Sure, it's mostly dependent on storage and for a normal American home 3 months is basically just a shelf of relatively calorie dense foods. I have a chest freezer full of meat and while it'd be bad if the power were out continuously that shit would take a while to thaw and then go bad so it'd still last at least a week or two.
not taking the prepping pill is second biggest financial mistake you can make, behind marriage obviously. Turns out once you get to be homeless and dependent on the system is it much more difficult to reverse that compared to never ending up there in the first place.I'm curious how "prepping" and "survivalism" came to be. Our grandparents called it being responsible, or planning ahead, or save some for a rainy day. Now not having to go out and rustle up some fast food for dinner makes a abnormal.
>>61207544i prepped a bit 10 years ago and was too early. honestly i don't care, let it burn fuck it. its all downhill from here for me. good luck
>>61207544I have. I went the lazy route and filled my cabinets and storage with canned food and rice and other shit but its been years so would need to go through them for expired shit (yes i know canned food doesnt expire)
>>61207544please keep the cost of actually valuable things low and buy 10 lbs buckets of rice pls
>>61207544Why do you have a muslim box on your shelf?Who exactly are you prepping for mohammed?
>>61207589>20 year shelf life cans of foodFreeze dried cans like picrel?
>>61207819the only valueable skill i can think of are medical ,hunting or farming skills
>>61207544>Seems like theres several economic indicators for it.ngmi regardless of the preparation. best to predict when this happens, max out leverage on Prophex and wait to see if your predictions were right.
