I am not stopping picking things up, but I am pretty well stocked, since I have been at it for more than 3 years. Watching 'panic buying' during the Cuban Missle crisis showed how bad things were then, but people were taking turns, waiting in line and checking out with no problems. We see what happens at "Black Friday" sales, what kind of craziness will happen these days? It won't even be safe to go out to the stores if all heck breaks loose, or only threatens to.

Even if it’s cold but sunny you can put your canned food on you dashboard of your car.

Part of my preps include ways my household members and I can entertain ourselves if the grid goes down and we have to shelter in place. So, we have an assortment of real paper page fiction and nonfiction books, coloring books and art supplies, jigsaw puzzles, leather working kits, needlecraft and sewing supplies and some grid-down ways of playing our collection of music CDs and DVDs of movies and vintage TV shows. And we could listen to local FM radio stations if they are still broadcasting. I do worry that some of my household members may have difficulty coping with not having constant contact with the internet and text messaging, if the local cell phone towers stop working and the power grid goes down. Boredom could be a real issue for those of us who are used to spending a lot of our time using modern communication technology when that is suddenly not available for days or weeks.

@@AlaskaGranny my family is going to have to deal with what I have. They are so spoiled and refuse to accept what is happening here. I do not know what to think anymore. 🙏

Your canned meats like tuna ,chicken,keystone meats in cans,and salmon in pouches and tuna,Jerky in packages or your homemade.Summer sausages if you go hunting and get a deer you can get deer sticks hot or mild made up.and jerky too.Just some of my foods you wouldn't have to heat up.ld say denture tablets for cleaning your dentures and denture adhesive for dentures,and toothpaste.hand razors for shaving, deodorants,you can make or buy granola,Chex mix.l got real bacon jerky from my walmart.oh it was so good.not real hard kinda soft to slightly hard.🙂you can get real bacon pieces too in bags or jar.Very nice video AG ,l watched a video last night and they did all kinds of grid down cooking stoves and heaters,one of them was a two for one camp cooking stoves and a heater with a blower that runs with no battery's or anything It was called the Vesta .lm gonna get one,you can use it in house ,takes the canned heat that's safe to use indoors.provident preppers video.Just some ideas l thought of and saw recently A.G.

Awesome helpful video as always AG. Crazy times, crazy world but the old folk say its always been crazy. I believe them. Its what happens to our time here I guess. Anything, anywhere, any age and can happen to anyone. Love being prepared and finally several friends asking and taking my advice about preps and preparing. Looking after all of us. Good to see you and Teddy. Life is a rollercoaster. Love ya xx

Yes, crazy times for everyone, but the crazy certainly changes. A friend and I were reminiscing when we were kids. You were lucky if you went out to eat three times a year. Now, some people eat out three times a day.
