About that. Do you do any form of prepping?

Schizo doomsday scenarios aside, it doesn't hurt to have backup

plan should there be an emergency. What can the average
homeowner do within reason in terms of preparedness like as far as
things like food/energy/water/tool storage?

I have a deep freezer full of food, and a pantry full of
food.
Its about as much "prepping" as im willing to do.

I have a garden every year and im not going to throw my

food away.
I like to pseudo meal prep every once in a while.
Its fun. Its just something my parents always did when I
grew up.

I probably should get some water reserves in there.

I wouldnt mind installing a full house generator too.
But any real natural disaster or doomsday scenario,
none of this shit is really going to matter.
I do it to save money on food

Canned food for a year which I rotate and water for six months(If I only use it for drinking). It might be
irrational but it brings me piece of mind.

Can someone recommend a cheap solar setup just for powering a phone and a laptop?

Have a decent workshop, plenty of tools and know how to use them. That way natural disasters are easy
to respond to and you can quickly repair your property.

Be creative and question customs many of which are lazy defaults. How many people do you know who
when they repair or renovate plumbing strategically add spigots and fittings for garden hose? I can bypass
any section of my plumbing almost as quick as I can drag the hose and that's insanely handy. I buy
replacement well pumps opportunistically in advance saving stoopid money then skid mount them with
important fittings already mounted. I can connect those to either of my wells as desired. I keep a Bosworth
Guzzler hand pump so I'll never have to manually prime again.

Prepping buys time thus choice. Stored water buys time to sort out water replenishment.

With water sorted tackle food. That's been done to death making it silly ITT because no one should need
spoonfeeding for basic shit.

Transportation vehicles should be extremely common with a very large aftermarket and salvage yard
presence. Idiots buy Larp Rovers without solving the parts and mechanic problems first. I buy redundant
old pickup trucks (Ford and GM because brandfaggotry is silly) I can personally troubleshoot and repair
axle-to-axle.

If drainage matters solve that shit. Ditches ain't hard to manually dig over time but flooding is bad. Ensure
your vehicle parking spot is easy to egress and never ever buy land in a flood zone.

2 weeks of food. Lots of beans rice and peanut butter. Short interruptions at 100x more likely than
massive ones. Biggest concern is pharmaceuticals since my wife has a transplant.

We could use better water storage. I also have cove gear left over. Not sure what I will keep.

I’d like to be able to protect against a dirty bomb a few major cities away.

I watched JohnnyFD (the friend of bald and bankrupt) who owns a house in Kiev post daily videos as the
war started.
There was a month of evacuations before they finally bombed the first building. Once that bomb hit,
Johnny himself left.

So yes, I and millions of other people watched as it was documented people willingly evacuated the city.

If you came back months later knowing the war is still raging on, or you didnt leave in the first place, thats
just stupidity on your part.

 I panic bought a fuckton of ammo before the 2020 election thinking it would get banned or prices would
skyrocket if Trump lost (they did, for a while). I'm pretty much set for life with 9mm and 7.62x39. I guess that
was a prep but also I kept thinking of it as an investment, like I'm never going to shoot it all but I can sell it if
prices skyrocket or supply whatever side I pick if there's a civil war, which seemed a real possibility at the
time.

My basement has decently low humidity consistently around 50% and a cool temperature year round so it
should last indefinitely.

Cheap is subjective, and not a good thing for a solar system to be, but I'll take a crack at it.

Phone + laptop will have is something like 45-80w draw during use.

100w poly solar panel (x2) $75-110 each

lifepo4 comparable solar charge controller $50
Chinese lifepo4 100Ah battery $300
<100w 12v inverter $60
wire, power disconnect, connectors, mounting hardware, misc $100

You might be able so save ~$150 by going with lead acid batteries, but the upgrade is a no brainer imo

Why would you go with a 100W 12V inverter - Why not just use a DC to DC converter to go from 12V to
5V @ .5 A for the cellphone charger?
Then use a 10A boost converter to raise the DV voltage to 19.5V @ 8A for the laptop (assuming that it will
be somewhere around there).
That way you do not lose 20/30% for the inverter and another 10% for the chargers to convert the AC
back into DC.

we live in a decaying world with fragile systems but everyone has been gas lit into believing everything is

some third world third worlders another block of sability is removed from the system. Ukraine is never going

I'm a Mick and I prep, nowhere near as extreme as many others but I've enough food to see me through 6
months.
It's not really about prepping for the end of the world but mundane shit like if I lose my job I won't have to
choose between eating and paying my bills, I learnt that lesson the hard way back in the crash of '09.
Think of prepping as an insurance policy that you can eat, people don't bat an eye over paying for
house/car/pet/gadget insurance so why should food insurance be any different

box? are you looking for a tool box? that doesn't matter so much as the quality of the
tools, and you can't beat japanese, see the japanese "engineer" brand tools. snap-on is
about equal. they don't overlap in every area, and engineer focuses more on hand tools.
Old tools are great too, they don't make 'em like they used to but for SHTF? Depends on
the scenario; surviving in the wilderness? escaping a city? just staying in your home but
with no outside help anymore?
I'll tell you the tools I would take with me, from an "everything is gone and I have to move"
perspective. I go wild camping a lot and urbexing overnight (aka being homeless in a city temporarily)
there's one tool I always want with me;
an axe. it can be both a hammer and cutting tool, makes your firewood, makes your shelter, deters
attackers. small 2lb/1kg hatchet is best.
Optional extras:
-those small pocket bolt cutters.
-nibblers (great for sheet metal, snips are good but i prefer nibblers. made a wood burning stove recently
from random scrap metal me and my gang of raiders found, pic related, using only snips, a drill, some
fireplace cement (can substitute clay/mud) and some wood screws, axe as a hammer was helpful too)
-folding saw (you can get the cheap ones from garden centres)
-pliers and/or adjustable water pump wrench.
 -engineer brand side cutters (good for all kinds of things, including trimming nails and minor surgery)
-swiss army knife (explorer) that's the one with the magnifying glass and screwdriver. covers so many bases;
can opener, tweezers, blade, even a secret wire stripper function.
Now if you want to get really fancy;
-one good No.2 Phillips screwdriver.
-one good large slotted driver.
-one slotted electricians screwdriver.
(i recommend wera brand screwdrivers)
-set of allen keys
-wood chisel
-brick hammer
-high quality military folding shovel
your pack now weighs about 4kg more. Unless relly necessary, you will probably end up reducing it to swiss
army knife and axe.

Fuel oil (red diesel) can be stored for a very long time
and used to heat your home or run a generator

A fireplace is always good to have. Especially one you can use for cooking.

Never return home with an empty gas tank. Keep it at least half filled at all times.
Keep an emergency jerry can at home. Dont forget to use that fuel and replace it with new fuel. Fuel can
spoil.

Buy drinking water. Keep it sealed and store it properly.

Buy canned food. Ready to eat meals and some ingredients.
Also store dry food like rice.

Get paper plates, cups etc. Cleaning the dishes when water is scarce is a real pain.
Use plastic cups for drinking water.

BARE AND PEOPLE COULD NOT EAT AND YOU ARE STILL TELLING ME
MONEY WAS THE BEST THING TO HAVE THEN?
You're a total fucking moron who is going to die. Everyone who was friends with me
ate well while the shelves were empty, other people WITH MONEY struggled, and that was fucking
nothing compared to what may be to come. i shared my beans and rice with my friends and no one could
believe i had it, suddenly it was worth more than gold, but I'd never trade my stockpile for gold or money.
also, may i remind you, that for most of that time, humanity didn't have nukes nor the destructive
capabilities they have now. you might not have noticed but there's this little thing going on in Ukraine,
probably nothing to worry about, right? not like we're literally on the brink of nuclear war.

Here's some insider info for you: the UK government bought up a whole bunch of steam powered
machinery (think traction engines and trains) and hand tools like picks, shovels and sledge hammers.
Along with a massive amount of steel stock and rail way tracks. The government was prepping MONTHS
ago.
Why steam power you might ask? because the UK has untapped coal reserves.
The idea with prepping is that yes, it may be very unlikely, but you are prepared for not only large scale
disasters and the collapse of society, but can also weather any small scale disaster like a plague or
natural disaster.
Say, jew anon, your money relies on banks and society continuing, you wouldn't be planning to off
yourself in a real collapse of society, right?

This is 2023. If you have a house, unlike what retards will tell you, you don't even need electricity or
heating. Literally all you need is water, food and protection of whatever you fear (or hope) will destroy
society, ie air filters or radiation/tornado shelters etc.

>muh cold
You don't even need a heating source, stack up a bunch of blankets. Inside a home with no windchill and
a thick blanket you'll be fine even if it's -20c or something
>muh electricity
 Oh no, you might be bored without your gaming pc when doomsday comes. Get yourself a flashlight or a
camping lamp
>muh gas
You don't need it, your ancestors lived thousands of years without it
>muh gunz
If you live in the third world where everyone has guns you might need them, but in the case of real civil unrest
you'll be fucked anyway. Just like now, real world gangs will rob and kill you while you try to escape in your
fantasy land where owning a gun somehow makes you superhuman and invulnerable to harm. You're one
guy and they'll be many, you'll lose without a state to protect you and that's the end of it.

equatorial fag confirmed. you have never been in even -2, let alone -20.
and you haven't factored in that every house is built different, different insulation, different ways of letting
in heat from outside too. I've been inside old houses, that were not heated, which were colder indoors
than out, because they didn't let IN the heat from the sun.
Yes a house makes a lot of difference, but you will die at -20 in a house with only a blanket.

Prepping is mostly a meme. All you really need is a decent selection of guns and ammo and maybe a
months worth of food. If society collapses, the people with the most weapons will survive because they
can take what they need from the unarmed.
If there's a major calamity like a nuke or asteroid impact then there's not much to prepare for. If you aren't
instantly killed you'll get to enjoy radiation poisoning, fallout, tsunamis, zombies, etc.
 If you want to prep then prep for a natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake. I'd have two weeks of
MREs, a couple shotguns to deter Jamal from looting, a portable generator to run your fridge, and 10-15 gals
of gasoline. I wouldn't bother with water. You have forty gallons of it sitting in your water heater and boil up
rainwater if needed. If things really go tits up then you'll probably be evacuated anyway.

You've clearly not been through any or many disasters.

Have a known good supply of clean water you control which means maintain your well if so equipped
including backup pump and spare parts or have clean storage like food grade poly barrels you leave
empty until warning of disaster (keep full if earthquake country). Rainwater is not a reliable resource but if
in a rainy area and a homeowner you can and I do leave rain barrels beneath the edges of building roofs.
Mine are for convenient washing after working outdoors and to wet the area where I weld and cut prior to
hot work, but they do fine for flushing the shitter and general washing.

Weapons fantasy prep is mostly for retarded larpdreaming incompetents beyond the basic
rifle/shotgun/pistol everyone should own anyway. Never plan for your dreams because dreams are stupid.
Plan based on reality.

Be extremely handy and able to work on everything you own that matters. That includes at least one
 simple, common vehicle.

You don't need electricity or entertainment. Reserve food shouls be canned or otherwise stored not to need
cold storage. Run genset long enough to use up what you have then shut it down to reserve it for important
tasks. Solar battery chargers are enough to run toys, charge LED headlamps (holding a flashlight wastes a
hand when wrenching or anything else) etc. LED headlamps remove any need to run lights in your residence.
Have small inverters and know how to power and charge what matters. Portable cell towers are easily
deployed after major disasters so you want at least one good backup phone. A CB radio or two is useful.
Learn why.

Agree on the ancient trucks but ancient GMs other than rust have no issues either. I've two dentside
Fords, one with a Holmes 440 I extended the boom on since it needed replacing anyway, and a C-30
crewcab w. Century wrecker about to get an LS transplant (easier on petrol).

For EFI trucks only GM (chosen wisely) are practical to reprogram PCMs at no cost making them
exceptionally easy to keep on the road. If a Ford or other PCM dies on a VATS truck you're screwed
unless you had VATS deleted beforehand (so I did). That's not a home gamer deal unless the home game
is side money doing PCMs. Other than transmissions (Fords fuck those up too) which are easily corrected
there's not enough difference to matter. LS drivetrains are based and a joy to work on still being classic
V8s undefiled by OHC.

Every serious truck user should have one truck with a Tommy Gate. Used is fine since they're simple.
Total back saver.

This guy's on the right track.
There's not going to be some "SHTF" scenario where the country turns into a giant battle royale. It will be
a slow decline, where little by little the standard of living will decrease, and economic security becomes
harder to come by.
For some examples, look at what happened in Russia after the Soviet Union dissolved. That was as close
as possbile to the "SHTF" the mad max preppers dream of, it was basically the end of the world for many
people, and yet life still went on.

What you should be doing is adopting habits that lower your dependency on the immediate economic
situation. Growing your own food means that you don't have to worry about going hungry. Learning to
repair stuff means that you don't have to go without, and maybe you can repair other people's things in
exchange for their talents, like sewing.
Basically the opposite strategy to cowering in your bunker with 2 years of canned beans and 12 guns,
shooting anyone who comes near.

I've got insurance against raiders and a means of hunting, and my house has a

Even in a crisis, I think people will still use at least paper money to do transactions. Take for example,
during Katrina , money was still pretty useful, even though goods may have been inflated for a time.

But that's not even touching on my original point of having an investment income stream. If you have say
dividends coming from a multinational corp and the dollar destabilizes somehow, the market would
absolutely respond, perhaps making the price of the shares or the dividend income rise to compensate.
It's not like say 100 shares of J&J would be worthless.

In a SHTF scenario, all the money you have in the bank disappears, stock market
goes completely dead, companies no longer functions if they even exist. In order for
your investments to actually benefit you, you need to turn them into cash and goods
BEFORE shit hits the fan.

No, you're not going to be able to sell any your stocks because the power and the internet no longer work

No, you're not going to be able to use your phone for internet because the cell infrastructure has been
rendered non-functional because the towers need power to work.

No, the cash you have on hand is not going to work because everyone is looting Walmart

No, you aren't going to survive the week let alone long enough for the government to regain it's footing
since you decided to put all your assets out of physical reach and your fridge only has a few days worth of
food and the water no longer works.

No, you can't just drive away since every major road would be packed with cars, crashed or otherwise,
and since you thought you could purchase everything when the time came you don't have any long term
survival plans or supplies.
 And lastly, Katrina was essentially a large, but localized, disaster since no governments or countries were
rendered powerless or completely isolated. And people were able to be evacuated. and supplies were able to
get in
Evacuations are impossible during an SHTF scenario because their is no where else safe to
run and no help coming.

Prepping is a bet
You can financially prepare for a boring event that happens to people every day, like getting hit by a car or
losing your job. It's not interesting, but the odds and payoff are reasonable.

You can also bet on an unprecedented global collapse in which money becomes worthless. It's a very
interesting thing to prep for and the payoff is huge (assuming you want to live in a world where a mob will
shoot you for a can of beans), but it might not happen even this millenium.

I'm glad someone mentioned medical supplies. They're cheap when there's no
emergency so its a good first step to prepping. Do not buy "medical kits" in the store,
they're overpriced garbage and most don't come with useful medical supplies save for a few gauze pads.
Assemble your own TRAUMA kit according to your needs. You want things in it to solve problems that
require IMMEDIATE medical attention. Some good things to have in it are:

1. Gauze. Lots of Gauze. Various sizes. Do not just get large pads thinking you can cut them to size,
cutting gauze is bad for wound healing. ABD tauma pads too.
2. Iodine. It does not expire. Do not use alcohol. Do not use hydrogen peroxide
3. Saline and an insturment to flush wounds with.
4. Tweezers/instruments/flashlight/especially scissors for cutting open clothes to access wounds easier.
5. Steri-strips (butterfly bandages). It really pisses me off how many med kits do not come with these
when they really should. These are the best thing to seal up open cut wounds that need to be stitched.
6. Self-adhesive bandage wraps, will come in handy if you can't use a hand.
7. Large triangular bandage for sling
8. Tourniquet. Pray you'll never use it, but having it can be life over death.
9. Eyewash.
10. Your needed emergency meds (Nitroglycerin/epishots)
11. Lighter for sterilizing tools/knives/needles and potential cauterizing.
 12. Gloves/safeties/washing kit

Don't get stupid little band aids. Band aids are bullshit, knuckle bandages/square/culture friendly, what the
fuck ever they're garbage. You can get stitching stuff, but only use them if you know what the fuck you're
doing. It's painful unless you can manage to get anesthetic and needles and you will probably fuck it up
worse. Steri-strips are more user friendly and should hold you off until you can get proper treatment.

Water is a solvent meaning it tends to dissolve things. So if you put water in a container the container
starts to leech into the water. At first it smells like the container and then tastes like it. Eventually after
some time too much plastic container is in the water and it makes it taste bad and can be possibly toxic.
This takes a lot of time though. The common recommendation is one year before replacement, but you
can go longer if you can take the bad taste.

>But any real natural disaster or doomsday scenario, none of this shit is really going to matter.

I think one of the most important things to remember is that you cannot prepare for everything. Even if you
are living "off grid" now, in the event of complete society collapse, you are still fucked. In my opinion the
purpose of prepping should be to lesson effects and shock if things happen.

For example anon here has a freezer full of food and plants a garden. He is ahead of the curve in case
there is a food supply disruption.

Even with a small generator to run the freezer, some lights, charge phones and laptop, you can still live
more comfortably in the event of long term power outage compared to someone who has no power at all.
Even a solar panel and cheap deep cycle batter is enough to keep your laptop and phone charged. Thats
enough to watch some movies and stay in communication.

Imagine living in Ohio and making fun of the crazy guy who has a 500 gallons of bottled water in his
basement. Now they don't have a water supply and he does. It pays to prep bros.

You are referring to a prepping cost benefit analysis. Which can be extremely hard to do. The simplest is
likely extra food you are going to eat no matter what. The cost is very low. Biggest expense being
containers and oxygen absorbers. Buying food in bulk may not be cheaper given the prices at Costco.
Next would be extra tap water. Limited extra cost with most of that going to storage barrel costs. Water
would have to be cycled somehow.

So after food and water it becomes much harder. Given the high costs. Most people would say shelter
related like being able to heat the place in winter.

I strongly recommend to try those out - they are intended for people sitting tight and waiting for rescue NOT
for someone working/hiking or doing anything energy intensive.
After trying them out I just got rid of them and stocked up on freeze dried meals in big cans - more costly but
the difference in calories and taste is huge.

Costco is for chumps in this situation. You want to stack deep for cheap? You need to hit up those grocery
outlet depots that specialize in taking in other chains' overstock or shit they need to unload for next to
nothing. Beats the shit out of Costco, Sams Club, whoever.

i'm in the bush, in a cabin, off grid. what will i do when my solar setup breaks? fuck power.
candles are a better bet. wood heat, wood cooking. learn to ride a horse.
i keep quite a bit of preserved food on hand, because i hate driving to town.

At -40 even with blankets you're dead in very few hours without a fire. Don't larp, unless you're in the cold
parts of the usa or in Canada you do not know cold. -10 is not cold, it's sweater weather.

People died a few years ago in Spain because it got a bit under zero, If you're not used to operate in cold
weather, don't lead others into your ignorance. Cold is a very serious enemy. It can't be defeated, only
held back with the proper fuel supply to burn (the best being wood you harvest and chop yourself).

Ever went in the wood at -40 to fetch wood ? Ask me how I know you never had to.

It gets to -40 where I live. It just takes layers of insulation with an outer windbreaker and good boots to
stay warm when doing stuff outside. Shelter just takes good insulation. Body heat can keep an igloo
habitably warm. Snow is an excellent insulator, after all.

Are any of you preppers energy independent? You can work your way into energy independence, you
don't have to buy into dozens of solar panels all at once.

-Have a chest freezer (preferably DC powered) hooked up to a battery and solar panel of its that stays
chilled 24/7 on its own.
-A single 100w solar panel on a bright day is enough to charge up a dozen phones, tablets, and laptops.

I think the biggest power usage in the typical household is heating/cooling and your water heater. So think
of alternatives or be strategic. I recently watched a video where a guy started shutting off his water heater
during the day because it's cheaper to just heat up water at night and the water in the tank could hold its
heat with minimal loss during the daytime.

6 months of salary saved is useful preparation for things like needing a new car, an unexpected medical

Exactly. Also, you should prepare for the most likely thing first, im-ho. If you don't have at least 6-12
months of savings yet then you shouldn't be prepping for anything else.

not only is it completely fucking useless in a real disaster scenario, financial prepping
is just called "saving" and "investing" and "being smart with your money" AKA
existing in normal society ... not a SHTF doomsday scenario.

I'm literally begging for someone to please give me a situation where "SHTF", and explain how it will result
in total chaos + collapse across an entire country.
If such a scenario even exists, compare it to the likelihood of you losing your job during an economic
 downturn. Prepping for "SHTF" before you have emergency savings isn't much different than relying on the
lottery as your retirement strategy.

Well said, but remember that these things are not very exciting. Fact is, though, retirement is in crisis in
most of the world and ignoring it is probably the worst thing you can do for yourself.

Depends who you ask. Compared to a real prepper I don't, yet compared to the people I know I am that
prepper guy. I have a small bag with basic stuff, enough to keep me alive for a week under most
conditions. I've used it so save a few idiots lives before, people in my area have a mental break down if
WiFi drops a one bar, God help them if the power went out for five minutes. But most of the time I get
mocked as schizo because I have some canned food or a pocket knife. My thinking is that most
emergency situations can be stabilized within a week, if not then it really hit the fan and I'll likely die
anyway so I'm not investing living in some Mad Max world. Nobody would see the value of a desk job
economist, despite the fact my skills would be hugely valuable at resource rationing and trade exchanges.
Probably get miss labeled as a banker and killed by bandits.

I'll probably increase my prep level over the next year or two as a byproduct of my home remodel and
money saving strategies. Things like bigger bulk food buys and setting up a tiny repair bench I do to save
money, but those things will allow me more prep options. Already have cut my electric bill low enough I
might be about switch to a solar kit, but HOA would never let me. Also I live within 3 miles of a power
plant, water treatment center, major internet node. Half a mile from a nation emergency response route
(both road and rail and) and 15 miles from a large military base and 3 airports. Basically red carpet zone
of anything, even got a vaccine biotech lab 7 miles out. So it's either the best place to start over, or the
first place to get wiped off the map by a nuke or overwhelming refugee wave.
