Supply chain disruption is why I prep. First things to run out in panics here are toilet paper, rice, spam and bottled water. I stock deep with rice, beans, TP, dog food and fuel (gas and propane). On my little 5 acre property I raise leafy greens, sweet potato, eggs, chicken and root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, etc). I can easily hunt turkey, pig, and small game birds within walking distance of my home.
Being on solar I don't worry about power and have satellite internet as well as amateur radio for comms.
For protection I have 5 large guard dogs, multiple weapons, a good stock of ammo, and like-minded neighbors.
