will food be rationed supply chain prepper pantry must have stockpile now hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper with the supply chain interruptions and the difficulties in
stores keeping things stocked people stocking up on the prepping supplies that they need
is it possible that government rationing could be ahead that's a good reason to gather your
news from a variety of sources so that you really can gather a complete outlook on
what is going on in the world unless you're doing math there is rarely one right answer
life is just complex let's look at some of the things in the news Alaska and see what's going on
here's some news from Alaska supply shortages in Alaska continue forcing retailers to stock up on
goods and hope for the best kinks in the global supply chain during the covid 19 pandemic continue
to ripple to Alaska causing widespread shortages and higher prices on a variety of products
the cost of shipping freight to the Lower 48 from Asia or Europe is higher than it used to be
so see this isn't just an Alaska problem freight to the lower 48 is four times higher
retailers are saying you have to eat some of that but you don't always have a choice which means
the price increase has to be passed on to consumers Alaska like the rest of the us has
seen remarkable price inflation in recent months in part because of the global shipping problems
facing higher freight costs Anchorage store owners have no choice but to raise their prices in turn
this is supply chain inflation the worry down the line is what if we have general inflation
we're not there yet but when too much money is chasing too few goods that's where price inflation
happens remember when they were trying to get PPE at the beginning of the pandemic everyone
in the world was chasing the same products and we kept seeing on the news Texas news prices
were going up extraordinarily government needs plans for rationing food and basic essentials
during pandemics and other crises and this is news from a while ago here's from CNN business
panic buying is forcing supermarkets to ration food and other supplies
news from the Washington Post Idaho allows rationing of medical care statewide amid surge
in covid and from Reuters news Idaho activates healthcare rationing in northern parts of the
state due to covid 19 pandemic cases. we know that there are supply chain interruptions we know that
they're talking about rationing and if it's going to be about health care you can bet it's going to
continue into other products as well food so you need to take this as perhaps a prepper wake-up
call that you need to stock up on the prepping supplies and the basic necessities food that
you need should they become rationed they're unaffordable or they're no longer available
make sure that you have the food that you need stock up on food rice beans split peas canned
food canned meats powdered milk and don't forget your beverages like coffee tea and hot chocolate
make sure that you have an ample supply of bottled water it has been hard to come by lately fill up
any empty containers that you have you don't have to buy bottled water you can clean out
containers and then fill them yourself as long as the water you're filling it with is safe to drink
it's safe to store then think about prepping supplies that could be rationed fuel you need
if the gas tank in your car drops to one half you need to fill it up gas think about the fuels could
be rationed propane butane charcoal so that you could heat your home or cook your food outdoors
as needed then have batteries that go with the electronics and the emergency gear that you have
like flashlights and radios make sure that you have candles lanterns solar chargers lighters
and matches take an inventory of your first aid supplies make sure that you have those things you
need like a thermometer cold medicines stomach remedies headache medicines check over your
prescription medicines and make sure that you have enough to see you through if there is some
sort of an emergency we don't know what's coming but we are certainly facing challenging times and
the better we prepare ourselves to face the future the easier our days will be and that's why we're
preppers we want to make sure that we have the prepping supplies food things we need so we can
provide the best days possible for ourselves and our family every single day of our life
