I decided that as long as I can get supplies, I will prep what I can find.
Friday I took a carload of food and air venting for my container. After some barter work, I added five vents worth about $200 (no I didn't pay that much) to my container! I need the venting, because soon I will be parking my Gator just inside the doors, and it has a gas tank...fumes!
This is part of the food shipmemt:
There were three cases of canned goods already in the car when I took this shot. Here is about 80 pounds of dry packaged food, that have lived in my freezer for three days. That kills any insect eggs, and I tape them up to avoid condensation inside.
There are several bedsheets here, plus some microwaveable Salisbury steak dinners, and a case of tamales.
Here's 4 gallons of milk:
Vacuumed packed, for long term storage! These were $2.50 each gallon, and the vacuum packaging offers the long term storage angle.
My storage in the travel trailer is filling up:
24 containers that hold about 7 pounds in these two cabinets for about 170 pounds each.
These are two cabinets with 2 deep:
For another 24 containers each.
I had to move to the linen closet in the bathroom, for additional storage space. It promises to hold a large quantity of these containers, but I'm running out of space pretty fast. But now is Not the time to slow down on prepping, it is smarter to speed it up today! Soon the fiat currency 💲💵 will be worth-less due to hyperinflation; so buy while you can!
There are stacks of 20 gallon sealed containers in the kitchen area towards the tongue of this unit, containing bulk food. Once I have time to skirt the trailers, these 20 gallon bulk storage willove under the trailer for dry storage. I will tape them to seal out ants first, but they seem to seal well enough without the extra seal.
I'm still scrounging building supplies, and have been moving those into homestead storage as fast as I am able. Have enough for a fuel shed already, except for the metal skin...it will have an orange 1/4" thick plastic roof! I've had to break down and pay retail for some building supplies ( I'm So ashamed, LOL) that I know I'll need. If the material is there when the SHTF, I can transfer the flag, and hunker down and get some repairs finished; while the cities burn! I pray I've read this totally wrong, but time will tell....
Keep gathering in supplies that will help you after the economy crashes. Strike while the iron is still hot 🔥🥵 things will cool off soon enough!
Stay safe, and out think them...just to piss them off, LOL!
