    There are shortages of food happening already and with this war, more are on the way. We will see farmers struggling next since we get most of our fertilizer from them (Ukraine) and they stopped exporting it. Be prepared people! I stocked up on beans, dried pasta, and other goods that will last a few years shelf life. I am going to get a few things growing as well soon as the weather warms up. I have a friend at work who owns a farm so I will have some access there. He is always giving us stuff - veg, fruit, eggs, etc. I wouldn't blame him if he started charging for it but at least I know a local spot.

    Is anyone else preparing for this mess?

    I still haven't completely used all of my stuff from the last / current pandemic crisis yet. Is the pandemic even over?

    I still have some supplies that I gathered at the start of the pandemic, but I should probably buy more.

    I've ALWAYS prepared. I'm from a military family & my husband is military. I taught my family to prepare & survive, as well as their friends.
    I was taught this at 5 years old & taught my family at that age as well. We're in different states now, but passing down the knowledge NEVER stops. 💯

    I'm very HAPPY & extremely thankful! 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽 FINALLY got some level of rest yesterday, but still sore & tired. Getting better each day though. My husband had to tell my in laws to allow me to rest, they've been over here at least 3x per day, since I arrived! 😅

    Hell yeah. Was going to mention this. Ammo prices are up but if ish ever hits the fan, that will be legit currency. Even if you don't have a gun, buy ammo. Buy what you can when you can. We should all be owning at least one gun though and I am working on getting my first this month.

    Happy to see others getting prepared. That is a solid point about ammo. I think it is worth having some knowledge on the back burner too. Either save some "how-to" guides or get a few survival and gardening books. I mean if we got to a point where the internet was not available, books would come in handy.
