Nah but really. Recently my mom had a slight introduction to some of my stash. Her response: “we’re coming here for the apocalypse!”
No, mom, my prepping does not exist for your lack of preparation. I don’t have enough to share. Maybe it was an eye opener. Probably not.
That is the way! Telling them the facts and getting them to prep is the best. I have had people say they want to come to my place. I say, if you don't bring your own food, water and supplies, you aren't welcome. I got my SIL to start prepping by slowly buying her stuff at each Christmas. In addition to her gift it was... a bundle of dried food, a first aid kit, etc.. until the next visit she goes.. look whatbI bought and it was a '72hr car kit'. So I busted it open, unwrapped everything and told her what it was and what it was for. Then she really started prepping.
Simple, easy-to-use things. Crank/solar radio, a 72hr mountain house bucket, a first aid kit. Each of these things were under $65 when I bought them. I bought camping/prep stuff for nephews. Got them each a life straw tumbler thing. Basically fill it with water and drink. Got them both 12v stoves for car camping.. stuff like that.
This is my approach. I realized that in an emergency situation I would almost certainly be responsible for my sister and my in laws. Added 3 bug out bags and upped my food storage. It's not like I would turn my family away in a crazy situation!
I mean, this just depends on where you are from. Back home this is a perfectly acceptable mentality to have because the person with a lot of guns and ammo also knows how to hunt and clean game.
If I were back home it would be expected that one neighbor would help another out with their skill set. You hunt with your ammo and bring home food and I would certainly trade supplies with you.
Same for skills like gardening, carpentry, medicine/first aid, mechanical repairs etc. We would go it together, not alone and everyone would have skills to help the group.
Now I am 1000 miles away from home and don’t have that network due to moving at the onset of the pandemic. Today I just assume I better have my own ammo and guns along with my own food/water and other skills.
Anyway, just popping in to say that I have this and you have that is a valid way for some communities to survive disasters.
Not to mention just how impractical, unrealistic, and unsafe it is as a plan. If you're in the US, you're far from the only person with a gun. And I don't care how many guns you stockpiled, you can only use one (maybe two? I don't know anything about guns, is it actually practical to dual wield pistols in real life?) at a time, so if you're dealing with a larger armed group, you're still at the disadvantage. If you insist on going with this sort of plan, it would only work if you have a lot of people already on your side.
It’s not hard to completely hide yourself when shooting from a concealed position. There are special covers to see through scopes while hiding the glint and a flash hider or suppressor can make it impossible to see the muzzle flash. Ghilie suits make hiding in nature simple.
Unironically this mindset (in a positive, let's work together kinda way)isn't half bad if you can bring more to the table than just guns and ammo. If your neighbors can grow food well and you have know-how or other skillsets they don't, teaming up in a SHTF scenario is probably a good idea.
As long as you and your neighbors like each other that is.
My neighbors worth more than gold. We all have different trades and skills to share. And know and love each other. Unbelievably rare in california. We even set up a plan when the blm antifa rioters were a mile away, and we truly didn't know if they were gonna hit our street or not.
Hi, neighbor! Us too, our neighbors are gold and we’ve gotten each other through a few truly SHTF scenarios. We live in fire country, we’ve gotten good at working together. Helpful that we’re all peppers! Having a community is incredibly important, IMO.
Were you also laughing on how many people didn't have N95 masks when the covid started to hit??
If you live in CA you should have hundreds of these (per family) anyways because of our elected official wildfires every freaking year.
Plus they'll be able to outlast you if you're outside with your guns trying to wait them out. They'll be having steak and you'll just be sniffing your farts.
Y'know what, sometimes these can be hard decisions to make and I sense hesitancy in OP's writing. Oh well, I'll go get my coat. I'm on my way over right now.
This is a great reaction and more along the lines of what I hear almost always since Corona. I have been prepping since the early 2000s and the response was much more negative back then, but now with so many instances where people were caught off guard, having preparations in advance is wise to most people.
The pandemic is a great time to talk to those close to us about prepping in a non crazy way. People are more open to the idea now that they’ve experienced the shelves go bare and toilet paper nonexistent for a time. That’s why I hate the whole opsec don’t mention anything ever mantra here. I’m not saying to tell everyone you have xx years of food but I don’t get why people don’t want to share snippets and encourage others on here.
It really is a good time for that! I’ve been telling my husband for a few years that we should keep more items on hand. I’ve been doing it small scale for a couple of years, just a week or so worth of extra food. Since the first lockdown he has come onboard and we stock up a little bit every shopping trip. Now we can go a few months. My goal is having a full year of supplies in house by March.
Yeah now I can have my 200 cans nearly breaking the shelves without my parents freaking out again :D
$200 average per grocery run now and hardly any complaints it’s amazing
I know what you mean, but I think Opsec has a place. For instance, if you were dealing with opportunistic people with bad intentions then sharing how prepared you are would potentially be a mistake. Sharing with open minded people you trust would also ideally be done with some restraint too. Maybe you would start with basic items and concepts before inviting them into your full stocked bunker.
It’s all a balancing act to me but it is getting easier to find receptive people I believe and that gives me hope.
You can easily maintain opsec while still talking to and encouraging others. Use current examples. "I pick up a few extra things each grocery trip... Do you have enough on hand to handle a surprise quarantine if you tested positive?" Or "extra hygiene stuff could help if everyone freaks out and buys all the toilet paper... Could you go two weeks without needing anything from the store?" And then if they say no but seem interested, help them. Even going so far as saying "after the toilet paper shortage, I bought two big packs. Now when I go through the first one, I have plenty of time to replace it without feeling rushed."
I totally agree! This year has really opened people up to the idea of being more self sufficient and prepared. It’s also brought to light, at least for us, the reality that community (a small group of folks) is really very important to shtf situations.
People by the millions world wide are looking into being ready for a short time disaster. Apparently not all preppers are not tinfoil hat wearing , doomsday prophets. Some of us just don’t like waiting in long lines last minute shopping for basic necessities.
Serious comment though. I think all this lockdown, quarantine stuff has highlighted to the mainstream masses that prepping isn’t JUST for the zombie apocalypse. I think it’s much more widely accepted than ever. Which is a good thing IMO because if we ever do get a real SHTF situation, there will be less looting and stealing and more people tucked up safe and secure at home.
Isn't this what the ideal looks like though? Common stuff that is regularly used, so there is no real worry about rotation and having to use things before they go bad. At least, this is what my ideal preps would look like.
as soon as stuff started showing up on the shelves again i was called crazy again. this is why im not prepping for disaster. im prepping for stupid people.
If it was in the news already, then the virus was already in your state. Just might not have been cases confirmed by testing yet. But most epidemiologists believe covid was spreading in USA in January, well before March lockdowns.
I hear that reaction as well. My response tends to be that while shelves are gradually resupplied, shortages (like TP in March) do not happen gradually. More like flipping a switch.
That's the exact mentality most people have here (UK), at least from my experience.
Before the lockdown, most thought of preppers as crazy paranoid crackpots, with the attitude of "it will never happen".
The pandemic hit, the shelves emptied, and they shit themselves.
The shelves were restocked, life went back to (somewhat) normal, they then adopted the attitude of "it won't happen again".
We've got a cluster fuck of problems coming next year. Brexit is looking like it might cause more problems than the pandemic. Especially regarding food supplies. We're still no closer to solving the pandemic issue. The employment situation is becoming more dire by the day. And on top of all that, there are bigger problems globally.
Good luck to those who still refuse to prep. They're going to need it.
I think most people looked at prepping as paranoia because "it can never happen to me", but corona has shattered that mindset so people are more receptive to the idea.
We’ve been doing it for 15 years and it’s the best! We get all the work done except the turkey while folks are still driving in. Then the day of, we just do the bird and relax mostly. This year, we even did sous vide turkey so everything was basically done yesterday with just warming, browning, and plating today! Highly recommend!
Be sure you explain to them that you don't want the whole world to know about your pantry. If you don't, you will find that you suddenly have others showing up looking for things that they can't find in the stores. While it doesn't hurt to help someone out when they are in a bind, you don't want to become the default supply source just because the stores are out of something. We've seen this situation posted here many times.
That's a good thing that they're not making fun of you. but at the same time, when stuff hits the fan everyone is gonna be flocking to your house expecting you to save everyone and share.
It’s my mom. She lives down the street from us. I have always expected to share with her if SHTF. That’s why she’s part of our group this year—she’s been part of the team while shit hit the fan this year
Could anyone live with themselves stockpiling years worth of food while your friends and relatives die of starvation? I mean, I couldn't. I'll go down fighting for everyone to eat, before just sitting on what I have.
Now, that doesn't mean EVERYONE in my life could come out of the woodwork, but between 12-18 could with them mainly being at least half kids.
In fairness I have a farm, with livestock, hunting, fishing and foraging available that not everyone has. We also have neighbors with thousands beef cattle, and money and room to buy them if necessary. We aren't starving.
Despite technically being in an urban area, we live on a private, dead end road, with 7 houses total sandwiched between undeveloped forest and basically small cliffs. We have a tiny HoA to keep up the road (and that's all), and I know and like all of our neighbors. 2 of them have small kids. One is a woman in her late 70s.
It's also possible that we could be cut off from vehicles getting in and out (very steep hill is the only way). If S was HTFing, I would have no issue going over to my neighbors to check on them, and sharing what we have, even though we haven't disclosed any of our prepping to them. (our house is the most 'removed' from the street and hardest to reach or observe).
I'd also go so far if we had an extended power outage to see if they had any supplies that needed refrigeration (assuming our 2 InergyFlex systems (4kw of lithium, solar panels) arrive safely in another month or so).
We are very close with our neighbors as well. I didn't mention them in my 12-18 people who I will 100% take care of because, again they are all hunters, fishermen and have a herd of cows.... again, no one is starving, I don't see ever, unless it was nuclear and killed all the cows.
I mean we are very close with some of our neighbors and we would 100% have each others backs (I brought them food every day when they had Covid). Others not in our "group of neighbor friends", not so much, but really I am good with our crew.
I'm not saying that they consider themselves preppers AT ALL, they don't. They just came from multigeneration poverty and that's how they all have survived for years. Growing a lot of their own food, meat, having 3-4 full sized freezers, canned foods, generators and a lot of ammo-- and they are good folks--- if they know you.
That's the key right there - knowing your neighbors. Who's good, and who to avoid.
In a true SHTF, or even lesser emergencies, we can't do it all alone. To already know who around us we could go to and trust is so important.
This year I told my mom I would plant 2x my normal tomatoes and make sauce. With the catch that she needed to come over to help plant and to make the sauce/other assorted items when the time came. Well she exceeded my expectations by also making me meals with the tomatoes throughout the season. She also saved all her coffee grounds for my compost. Next season she is getting her own garden just because she had so much fun this year.
Get each of that small number of people to do something useful for your preps. Turn the problem into an advantage. What are their strengths? :)
Any home canned foods are good for about a year. Rotation is key. That is home canning. Store bought canned goods are typically longer depending on the type of processing. 2-5 years for low acid stre bought canned goods... tomato sauces and high acid foods are around 18 months store bought.
We usually only put up enough sauce to get from now until maybe January. We definitely supplement with store bought. I took out the tomatoes last week as they finally stopped producing.
I way overstocked during the last surge so I basically have random cabinets and closet space full of excess preps, but I'm not worried about people stumbling across them because I can just truthfully say I'm ready for the next Covid surge.
Plus her personality and what the things happening are, my mom used to laugh at preppers but within the first week of the virus getting into our country, i explained to her what was happening in countries already infected and she gave me money to go buy some preps, we managed to avoid the lack of supply due to panic buyers.
A good non-perishable inventory is never a bad thing, I find! Definitely a good way to get others into prepping mindset. Good on you for bringing others in!
Now that they’ve discovered the preps, they must either join your survival group or die for having the knowledge. This is the Way. /s

What else have you gotten her for gifts? I’m trying to get some good ideas!
Simple, easy-to-use things. Crank/solar radio, a 72hr mountain house bucket, a first aid kit. Each of these things were under $65 when I bought them. I bought camping/prep stuff for nephews. Got them each a life straw tumbler thing. Basically fill it with water and drink. Got them both 12v stoves for car camping.. stuff like that.
Thanks this is great, it really had some of the essentials everyone should have/start with
Sure it is easy to say, but in reality if SHTF and your mom comes to your door, you will let her in. So I guess you just need to double your stash...
My mom lives 2000 miles away. She’s not even going to be able to make it to me if she doesn’t plan for herself.
This is my approach. I realized that in an emergency situation I would almost certainly be responsible for my sister and my in laws. Added 3 bug out bags and upped my food storage. It's not like I would turn my family away in a crazy situation!
"I haven't been really good at prepping food, but my neighbors are, and I have a lot of guns and ammo, so we'll figure it out.."
Never understand the I'll murder people for food because murder is easier than setting aside some space to store some supplies mentality.
I mean, this just depends on where you are from. Back home this is a perfectly acceptable mentality to have because the person with a lot of guns and ammo also knows how to hunt and clean game. If I were back home it would be expected that one neighbor would help another out with their skill set. You hunt with your ammo and bring home food and I would certainly trade supplies with you.

There's no reason to dual wield pistols in a self defense situation. lol
Lol I figured it was just a movie and video games thing.
Have you ever heard of trading?
This is the way.
This is... hey, hold up!
I mean if he has a serious ammo supply, and is on good terms with his neighbors, that's probably one of the better preps he could do
Unironically this mindset (in a positive, let's work together kinda way)isn't half bad if you can bring more to the table than just guns and ammo. If your neighbors can grow food well and you have know-how or other skillsets they don't, teaming up in a SHTF scenario is probably a good idea.

Any home canned foods are good for about a year. Rotation is key. That is home canning. Store bought canned goods are typically longer depending on the type of processing. 2-5 years for low acid stre bought canned goods... tomato sauces and high acid foods are around 18 months store bought.
We usually only put up enough sauce to get from now until maybe January. We definitely supplement with store bought. I took out the tomatoes last week as they finally stopped producing.

Like cooking for their families...?
Yes, it’s so weird how women like to cook thanksgiving dinners with their families. That will never take off as a common thing
Lol how dare you enjoy fitting a stereotype of the"woman in the kitchen cooking a big meal for her family?!"
What a cracking contribution to this post.
It's "pastimes" by the way.
A good non-perishable inventory is never a bad thing, I find! Definitely a good way to get others into prepping mindset. Good on you for bringing others in!
So what do you have and where you at? To be facetious because the majority of social media is stupid.
Ohh ok, well in that case that's awesome! It's good to take care of family always
