Are you a new Prepper? With everything going on in the world are you concerned?

Stock up on foods with a long shelf life. Water capture and filtration system. Don't let gas tanks get below half. Have alternative fuel sources available heating/cooking. First aid kit. Cash on hand. Booze. Guns. Lots of ammunition. Have a bug out plan.

It's probably not a [i]stupid[/i] idea. 2024 might be a year of liberal antifa BLM crazy person insanity if Trump runs, and wins. I wouldn't want to be out and about in that case.

I have enough food in the house right now so that I can eat for a month without leaving my apartment. It started when we had to have enough food in the house in case we had to isolate for Covid, but I find it to be an intelligent policy.

large freezer filled and 6mt of canned goods. bout 40lb of pinto beens 20lb or rice so i am set for half a year as long as the elec does not go out.. so i am putting in solar for that . ya i am a prepper. oh and 50 gals of water . and now ammo ..

Living so far in the mountains, the pandemic and the rise in prices.... has confirmed that we need, a must..to be prepared. We have two freezers filled with meats and veggies from the garden in them. We purchased ready to eat meals with years of shelf life. We have 3mos of any thing we need from can foods to laundry soap..and hand soaps..vitamins.. first aid kits... to water. And like BizSuitStacy we have guns and loads of ammo. Plus gallons of gasoline for our vehicles and generators.
The greenhouse is nearly finished and cold frames. We have cash in the safe.
Is all hell going to break loose... don't know. But what has occurred in the past couple of years... which is unbelievable...we can not rule out that hell could be knocking at the door any time. Sad but true.
We want to live as self sufficient as possible!
I am happy to know that at our age... we won't see the worst of things to come. ...hopefully! I would hate to be youngsters during this period of time. Morals and intelligence are not ... present even now! Too many people don't know how to think for themselves!
We live in our own little bubble here. We are happy and secure!
I feel like the last cowgirl in this day and age 🙃

I started collecting precious metals, mainly copper and lead. I have enough of these to last me 20 years unless I get hung up in prolonged contact with those who didn't prepare. I am in the mountains, plenty of game, plenty of fish, lots of farms, potatoes and corn, things like that. I don't think a huge stockpile is a good idea for me, I don't have a fortified enclosure to defend. If I have to move, I would have to take my stock with me. I figure if the SHTF, I just need to stay away from others for a month or 6 weeks. By then, the herd will have lost the weak and infirm. Anyone close to a large city is in trouble.

I live in Bosnia, former military, forward recoon, two tours in Afghanistan, do ai really need to say how prepared I am? 🤣

Groceries, supplements and other essentials, putting those back for the future. If the prices come down and the shelves stay stocked at least I won’t have buy a whole lot in the next year to come. Have a rocket stove to cook on and a barrel full of branches for fuel.

i have some food stored up i don't think people know how bad the world will be likely in the coming days and months people just don't seem to care or realize that its about to get really bad a lot worse than it already is

Started two months ago with canned soups and tuna. Whatever is in my cupboard, you can quadruple it with what's in my attic now. Thinking of buying precious metals.

No.... whatever happens will happen to everyone..... Im no different from anyone else... that is the lesson I have learnt by having survived an eight year war...

if i had a prepared under ground bunker i'd be living there right now , rent is freaking expensive

I've been a prepper for years. I'm not giving any details about my preps, but I will say stock mundane things (just to name a few) like insect repellent and sunscreen.

I’m stocking up on food. I’m seeing shortages at my job.

At age 52 I’m so invested in the system that if shit goes south I’m totally screwed .
And I don’t own a firearm either so doubly screwed. Lol

I have started taking steps. I’m slowly getting stuff together. Today, I heard someone say war is coming to Europe in a few weeks, and I’ve also heard world leaders and politicians speak of nuclear war. Liz Truss, the new UK prime minister was asked if she felt okay using nukes, and she replied that she’s ready.

I’m saving beans and rice for the winter in case of food shortages.

Been talking about it since i was born only the rich or people in the country prepared

No one else can afford it
