Everyone should download their free copy of the LDS Preparedness Manual. It is an extremely thorough analysis of this topic.
Believe what you will about the LDS faith, but they are miles away from everyone else here. They're all supposed to have a 6-month food supply minimum, and many have way more than that.
There's some good "lessons learned" in there from Katrina when the Feds went door to door and started confiscating firearms, if you haven't gotten to that part yet.
Probably 80-90% of my liquid intake is coffee in the morning/afternoon and beer in the evening. I would make a terrible Mormon but will take good advice wherever I can find it.
I think you might be better off with a proper manual, but honestly, I don't think you even need a 6 month supply.
I honestly think most people who live in not crazy parts of America will be fine with 1 month supply of groceries just in reserve.
If there's lockdowns and Leftists in government, this is a whole different story.
I honestly think you should have $1,000 in cash in case banking restrictions come up. Gold and silver are fine for me to preserve my wealth, but for a while, I won't be able to trade in silver until more people start to have to adopt it.
I agree that most people probably don't need 6 months of food if they're operating under the assumption that their access to grocery stores may be temporarily interrupted but not permanently restricted.
I have a few months' supply of mostly dry goods as well as a good supply of meat in a garage freezer, but I live in a somewhat remote area where I was trying to account for severe weather preventing me from leaving the house combined with a sustained power outage due to the severe weather (which happens every year but on a shorter term basis).
Other things people need to consider are: can you cook your food, can you keep your food from spoiling (eg. if it's in a fridge or freezer), and can you stay warm in the winter? Important for people with electric heat and stoves.
Cash is always good. I also suspect you could barter with booze since stressful situations like that are more pleasant if you're a bit buzzed and people don't usually have large supplies of it like they might food. Something you won't learn from the Mormons.
I'd personally buy a lot of those little duty free bottles. Like you said, good as tradable commodities, but also as a rudimentary medicine so it's right up there with ammunition as far as cash and precious metals alternatives go.
Even cheap bottles of wine: crack one of those open and fun for the whole family. Doesn't work as a disinfectant, but it does work as long-term water storage.
Been black-pilled for awhile. I had a website that I posted to 100's of times a month for 5 years. I preached.
Now my only comment to others is "prepare your family for chaos".
The globalist pedal is to the metal now, as they will never allow a Trump to occur again and now that they got away with what they did the last 4-5 years, there is nothing holding them back.

Yeah, I agree with all of this.

What's wrong with the one linked above? The manual, I mean. If you have a better one to share, please do.
