Preppers Get Ready Now Stockpile Before Panic Buying Begins war Russia Ukraine China food shortages supply chain inflation hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper if you've been watching the news at all maybe you feel a
little bit of anxiety over what they're talking about a war between Russia and the Ukraine
and the possible invasion by China of Taiwan and it's just a little bit upsetting when you
think about the politics of the world that could really even though none of it is taking place
on our USA shores can affect the supply chain of the food supplies things that we have
if you think about the world globally trade goes back and forth through all different countries
politics get involved in that and then we don't know what can happen you wouldn't think that
events happening on a different continent could affect the supply chain of the food where we live
but it does even if it's just an oil crisis then that makes everything either cost more
or be less available because the price of a gallon of gas to transport things all over the world
all over the country all over your state that makes the price of things go up or things are
just not available so while we can't control what happens in other places we can control what we do
to get ready how we can prepare so that if there's an a coming crisis we are
prepared for it it doesn't even have to be that something breaks out somewhere else in the world
if you lose your job someone gets sick your power goes out you have a catastrophe of your own
you need to have supplies on hand so you can deal with the everyday emergencies that come up to you
let alone what happens all over the world so it's just prudent to be prepared what are
some of the prepper pantry foods and prepping supplies that you might want to stock up on now
well it never hurts to have extra beans and rice these foods can last forever you can pick up a
one or two pound bag put them away in an airtight container and it costs you almost nothing yes you
could still buy a gigantic bag and put that away if you haven't done that yet but stock
up on the longest lasting foods not just beans and rice in the dried form you can also look for
cans of beans packages of rice these are simple to make on a day to day basis when you may not want
to dig into your foods that can last for 30 years just getting dinner on the table can be important
get some beans and rice in packaged forms there are all types of supply chain issues with meat
maybe you can't find the fresh meat that you want or you're concerned that the price is
becoming prohibitive that may not change in the future prices may go up and things become
in shorter supply so if you don't have a stockpile of some canned meat
get some now get the kinds that you like if you see something you're not sure what it is
buy one take it home and try it if you like it go back and get more but don't stock up on meat that
you're not planning to eat you don't know what it is and you don't even know if you like it find the
varieties that you like everything from beef and pork to chicken turkey you can find all kinds of
different kinds of canned fish and even spam but remember don't buy it if you don't like it
stock up on vegetable oil the prices are shooting up on vegetable oil and if you're a coffee drinker
you might want to get that because the prices are going up I'm not a coffee drinker but I
can't grow my own tea so I stocked up on Tetley tea bags that i prefer to drink
if you have pets or small children make sure you have extra pet food any baby formula or special
food items that your babies and small children enjoy eating you want to make sure that you are
able to provide the basics for the most vulnerable our children and our pets you also want to stock
up on some over-the-counter medication aspirin advil tylenol aleve cough meds allergy whatever
the kinds are that you like to use make sure that you have plenty of them on hand
some of the OTC ingredients come from China and if we continue to have supply chain issues from
China you may not be able to get these if you've been to the pharmacy lately you've seen there
are big huge gaps in this kinds of first aid OTC supplies that you can get for medication
some of the cough medicine and the children's medicine varieties are just not available
they're very difficult to find if you don't have a nice supply of the OTC medications that you use
and count on having you might want to top off that supply while you can something that I've noticed
in short supply are Bic cigarette lighters I don't know why they would be in short supply but they
are I was looking to pick up a few and they were very difficult to find just plain old Bic lighters
I also had to replace my garbage disposal and when I called the plumber who works for me
would pick up garbage disposal Home Depot bring it to my house and install it and he told me
i was fortunate that i had called him when i did because when he went to Home Depot get the garbage
disposal they told him there had been none in stock for three months and they had ordered 400
garbage disposals and only received 100 of the supplies of garbage disposals the week before
so stores can keep ordering the supplies they want but it doesn't mean that they're getting
them in stock and they can't control what comes on the delivery trucks any more than you can control
what the mailman is bringing to your house it has to be what is what's delivered is what's available
and there are just problems so i was fortunate that now i have a working garbage disposal
and i didn't have to wait three months for one to come into stock why should we be Preppers so
that we can live a full life no matter what the restrictions are no matter what the hardships are
no matter what the shortages are we know that there are always going to be dangers in life and
as preppers we try to figure out what they might be and how to mitigate those dangers and how to
prepare to make ourselves to have the things that we need and live as safely and happily as possible
so get things prepping supplies food stockpile while you can we just don't know what the future
holds and you can always eat your prepper pantry food it doesn't have to be something food you
put it away forever you stock up on food so that you have plenty and then you rotate and work your
way through your food supplies replace and that's how you gain that confidence that you can take
care of yourself because you can go to your pantry you can go to your prepping stockpile and you have
all the different types of food supplies items that you need that's comforting on any kind of a
day that you can have the things that you need no matter what circumstances come your way that day
