Look at the Ukraine.
How would 2 years supplies have worked there? It would just feeds the Russians. Unless you are really really rural, I see your home being overrun reasonably quickly. I'm not advocating doing nothing, just advocating, thinking it through. Prioritizing. |

If we get to the point where there are millions starving in this country (truly starving, not "food insecure"), you'll be burned out of your home. Once you demonstrate there are things in your home worth protecting, you WILL be overrun. My goal isn't to prep to survive a permanent TEOTWAWKI situation, but rather to have enough to make it through shorter, periodic events of smaller scale mob unrest and supply line outages, which are FAR more likely and almost guaranteed to happen sooner. That works out to probably about 2 months worth. |

View Quote Mine too -- that "bad time" lasted almost a decade for them. It was my father so he told me of it first-hand, and it sounded HORRIBLE. But -- A) they DIDN'T have hordes of starving people trying to storm their homestead and kill them for supplies, and B) Rule of Law was still in place. Those 2 major factors makes today an entirely different situation from a "how long can you hold out?" perspective. |

Roaming gangs of killers are a bigger threat than starvation for most people, IMHO.
You don't seem to see as many people starving to death in shit hole countries as you do the numbers of people buried in mass graves or murdered in the streets for their shoes. The well kept neighborhoods will be their next stop right after the Hood, when "they" realize the Law is no longer coming. On their way to the farms, of course. Anarchy probably doesn't lend itself to stockpiles of anything for very long, unless you have sturdy barriers and dozens of people to man the watch. |

A single family unit has no hope to survive OP's scenario, regardless of how many years "preps" they have -- that is just a Prepper's Fantasy. A few persons cannot man the perimeter 24/7 or hope to offer enough firepower to repeatedly repel a horde.
You will need to compound together with many other families to share resources and 24/7 staff the numerous gun nests and patrol the walls. Think mediaeval methods: minimizing the compound's potential attack surface: blocking easy access to the interior using heavily-fortified outer walls, and limiting ingress to a single, fortified entryway. Are you doing that? Neither am I. |

Most folks smart enough to read my pages have been preparing for a long time. Comparing notes with each other. Searching for holes in their strategies. Some folks even make dry runs by turning off their water and electricity for varying periods in order to find more weaknesses in their plans. Self defense is vital. We’ve seen 911 is a joke. We are our keeper. A grandmother with a little training can throw some serious self defense downrange. Later this year we likely will see various governments within the Unites States starting with price controls and increased subsidies. Governments always do this when they are losing control. These policies will exacerbate situations. OGUS will push to make rationing electronic to gain even more control of every aspect of our existence. All the indicators are there. Stock up thick. The clock is ticking. Conditions are set: 2022 will become serious. 2023 will be a year of starvation in many countries. I do not even see a way out of this. Too much inertia and sabotage. Serious famine creates real pandemic, more war, and HOP — Human Osmotic Pressure — which leads to migrations. https://michaelyon.locals.com/post/2069821/am-jumping-out-the-overton-window-again View Quote Attached File |
