Add to this, antibiotics, pain pills, medical supplies, (antibiotic creams, peroxide, band-aids and such) supplies for feminine hygiene, and treat yourself with long term storage desserts, or chocolate. If you have land, plant grafted fruit, and nut trees.

If you really want to be well-prepared, you should consider everything that you will need if there is no power and you can no longer get anything from the stores because supply chains have completely broken down.

There are some important points that I want to make about this list.

First of all, this is not a comprehensive list. It is simply a starting point.

Secondly, preparation is going to look different for everyone. Your unique circumstances will dictate what “getting prepared” looks like for you.

Thirdly, you will not need your emergency food and supplies yet.

You will not need them tomorrow.

You will not need them next week.

You will not need them next month.

But the day is most certainly coming when you will need them.

If you wait until then to get prepared, you will be out of luck.

Getting sufficiently prepared for what is approaching takes an enormous amount of time, effort and energy.

But it will be worth it.

We are moving into times of immense societal chaos. This election is going to tear our country apart, vast numbers of people will die during the wars and famines that are ahead of us, it is just a matter of time before the next global pandemic strikes, and if you live long enough you are going to get to witness cataclysmic natural disasters that are beyond anything that Hollywood has ever dreamed up.

Right now, we are still only in the very early stages of this “perfect storm”, but I fully expect global events to start moving very, very rapidly in the coming months.
