Survival and Emergency Preparedness

got plenty of coffee, always have about 4-5 large containers from costco... even some freeze dried crap they call coffee

Congrats....
Been retired for 13 yrs now. The real trick is to stay busy and HEALTHY!. The check keeps coming if your around so you can enjoy a long retirement.

I use a 100w solar panel to charge 2 car batteries... and run from them if needed.
I always look for devices that run on 12vdc. Including small chargers for those types of batteries

As many here, most of our basics were / are covered... Could go longer in warm weather ( now getting here ) than winter, normal stocks would work. I use to do a once a month Costco run for alot of basics while always having backups. It's just I started thinking of a few extras things I had low amoun...

These couple months have been a bit extreme for a lot of us... But, what items are you short of ( from stores, etc ) or forgot to stock ? I myself have pretty good cap on things here, but the few items I think I was a bit slack in.... 1) Paper plates, plastic ware. I don't usu stock these but lately...

Agree, may not be a drinking buddy, but if the future is like his past, he's a shoe-in

welcome... a lot of good info here even for long time preppers

As above....
think about what you needed this time and start there.

Wear it if you have a cough or sick.... otherwise not.
IIRC, the n95 mask stops a cough/sneeze going out but the virus can get in as it's smaller than the filtering agent

Still do canning here... not many people do, nor have the kitchen "pantries" like grandmom
