daily actions toward becoming better prepared for societal collapse
For ourselves, we stepped up the garden planting and hoping for a bountiful harvest. However, the weather will dictate that. We went to an amish bulk food store this week to top off supplies. They had full shelves when made me happy. Otherwise I have avoided regular food stores. Part of me says get more, and the other part of me says, you have enough. Can you really have enough?
I can never have enough. I know what’s coming, whether it’s kicked off by a virus or something else. Being in the middle of a move is killing me. I want to continue stocking up, but I have no place to put things right now.
We were lucky enough to have a senior shopping hour at the grocery store so we could get what we needed on a weekly basis mostly as some things were out of stock. The fact that I have been preparing for years now ( and hubby was ambivalent about that) saved us a great deal of problems.
Now I add to what we’ve used the first go around. Hubby eats 2 cans of pineapple for lunch a week. So when I shop I buy those 2 cans plus extra to put back. The same with the TP we used I had stocked. I buy an extra package to put back into the stock to get it back up to where it was.
He’s picky ( thank his mother why don’t ya *snark*)about what bread he will eat and what he won’t. I told him straight out if we can’t get the bread you want you’ll be eating biscuits and cornbread (which he doesn’t like to eat. again thank his mother *snark*).
What I need to figure out is how to keep the hubby occupied. This time around I had him move my greenhouse and extend our back deck since his boss told him stay home for a month when this first “lockdown” happened. That kept him busy and a happy camper. The next one if it happens will be harder I think.
Maybe you can get him working on a walipini (pit greenhouse). It would surely keep him out of trouble for a couple of months.

In prepper circles it’s said “store what you eat and eat what you store.” Very good advice. Trying new foods should be an occasional thing that you do naturally. Buying bulk and finding out later it’s not for you is a recipe for disaster. This actually was a good time to practice. We saw meat shortages coming and got a great deal on chicken, beef, and pork before the prices went up. It’s in the freezer though I would prefer to can some of it so we don’t have to worry about power outages but right now it’s perfect. I’m on a specialized diet with no gluten, fresh milk, corn, or cooked tomatoes so I have to be more careful than most. Great post.
