Thank the gods. A thread that is useful.
I prepare by helping to build a strong community that will support each other in times of trouble rather than retreating into their "castles".
It's a different way, but I've found that making myself and my resources useful to the people around me is a more effective way of earning respect than buying buckets of food.

Republican cosplay masquerading as valuable advice.what brought all this on?
I like how this thread was not prepared to be on topic.
I like how you were prepared for this thread to not be preparedI figured it would work better as an FYI.
Not like anyone would take it seriously in the long run. I expect it'll last a few pages. If that.
I mostly meant it as a "defuse thread".
Plan A is to "bug in". Got plenty to sustain us as well as barter time, skills, resources, etc. with neighbors to help even out everyone's strong and weak suits and we ride it out together, whatever "it" is. Humans are social creatures after all. I imagine this is the most likely scenario as well as fairly short term in the grand scheme of things.
If for some reason a month has passed and my area continues to worsen with no realistic vision of getting better, there is a secondary stash of stuff sufficient for me and mine to bug out to one of a few safer locations where again we'll have the benefit of some community.
People that think they're gonna run to the hills lone wolf style and live on squirrels and dandelions will be among the early dead.
