How long of a prep supply do you think we'll need? I currently have 2 months of water and 3 months of food but the more I hear the more I think this will be sticking around longer than a few months...
I flew to London in half empty plane, got upgraded to FC, and doing business as usual. Flying back to US tomorrow after checking out some tourist sites then back to office.
I think it's far more cost effective to just have a good water filtration system. In a pinch, can't you just distill? You can make your own simple distiller from a pressure cooker, a length of copper tubing, and some surgical tubing. And simple distillers are about a hunny on amazon.
If you remineralize your water with trace-mineral drops, wouldn't that suffice in lieu of clean water?
In any case, I was thinking that as well as far as water, but since what's done is done, I wasn't about to point it out. You killjoy. Psh.
Hording water is not useless. You can add a small amount of bleach to preserve it for long periods of time. Bottled water doesn't go bad in a few days. There have been plenty of natural disaster where people would have killed for water. My food isn't refrigerated either. I have rice and beans stored in mylar bags with O2 absorbers which will make that supply last easily 20 to 30 years. You sound totally unprepared so I hope you can get some supplies before it's too late.
I think you'd be fine with that. Youre in a better position than most.
Once youve got your food and water figured out, next up would be slowly stocking things that A) people need (or that you need on a regular basis) and B) will see shortage or inflation in a panic, supply disruption, or sustained market tank.
So you got your batteries, your alcohol, lighters, plastic bags, tobacco, silver, ammo, yadda yadda.

I think I'll go put some fuel in my car. And go retail shopping. And go have lunch out.
I will join you in this quest!

Dont even have to mineralize it. I work on ships for 4 months at a time and most of the time our mineralizers dont work.
You can drink distilled water for quite a while.
thank you based sailorpede! I kind of wondered if I eat liver on the regular and add salt to food, if I even needed the minerals.
A stagnate puddle is much different than a bottle of purified water.

Who here is drinking bleach? Please stop.
