Things to look at...
Been saying this for quite some time.
Trying to push as many as possible to prep up a bit or a lot!

Did not watch vid yet (full disclaimer: wranglestar's clickbaity titles trigger me now), but I will be soon stocking up on things as well more than my current stash, which is in fairly good shape anyway.

You have to take what Wranglestar says with a grain of salt. He's been out, for some time, to just get views by triggering the prepping community into viewing.
End of the day, just make sure you could go several weeks between getting any groceries, if not a month or two. Brita filter, lots of dry foods that last a while, and just make sure you run ahead of supply on regular shit like toilet paper and paper towels. Basically just don't assume you'll get any one item you want with a given grocery trip -- assume it'll take a few weeks to get the item you want.
Also, if you don't already have some, get some Aquamira in case you have a water boil situation. Bottles are small and last a while.
That's basically about the limits of my thinking.

I unsubscribed from him a while ago, kind of the same reason. I still watch him on occasion, this video was decent and true.

I am torn. We are on the verge of a cross country move.
We are actively trying to eliminate as much stuff as possible.
I only hope the world hangs on long enough for us to make it there. After that I will be stacking things high and deep.
This has got to very very difficult for the two of you. I am glad I am not in your shoes right now. Wait, no, I am not glad, I am jealous of your move. I want to be in your shoes!!

It's starting to look like a house...
If things hang on long enough, we will be in a much better place out there to ride out whatever's coming.

I've been thinking of starting a thread here about the progress if there is interest.
Is it me or does this location remind you of Burt Gummers bunker house from Tremmors?
Please do.

Wait till I tell you guys about the constructionIs it me or does this location remind you of Burt Gummers bunker house from Tremmors?
Based on the likes on my last post I guess there is interest, so I'll start a thread in the off topic area.

I started a new thread for this to avoid derailing this one any further.
I'll answer any questions that don't compromise OPSEC there

Neither did FUAC, and it looks like he is determined to squeeze every last penny he can out of me before I can leave.

I can't even watch one of his videos anymore.
It's like a nutnfancy diatribe and all the cringe of a chris tanner and scotty Kilmer video all in one.
The skills you have, the less crap you need.

I think my wife is starting to get it. We have stocked up deep on many items like TP, paper towels, soaps, sanitizer. But yesterday she shows up home with about $100 extra in canned food. Today she's talking about getting a chest freezer (in addition to our 28 cu ft side by side fridge and a three door out in the garage. Been drinking pretty regularly lately . . . Suggested that I buy another 8-10 large bottles of Jim Beam . . .

Chest freezers are in short supply. I'll ask around to see if there is a known place to get one, but my parents had searched for a chest freezer for a good month, and only just got a second one recently. The sooner you start looking the better.

Well soon we won't need freezers. You'll be able to just put stuff on the porch for 3-4 months.
Going out later today to scout around . . . Down here . . . Florida.
Might have some ice cream soup

My girlfriend just bought a chest freezer from bj’s in Harriman
Bought a 5 cu ft chest for $259 yesterday. Went to Costco today and spent $433 on various stock up stuff. So far, off the top of my head, I have saved over $120 at Costco, without looking at the receipt. My wife is getting into it Big Time.
Heading to Publix liquor store tomorrow . . .

I know that many of you do care for masks, but for those who do, I picked a good time to stock up assuming the winter would be bad on some KN95s and N95s so I'm stocked during winter.
My only caution would be that you have to look into both the N95 and KN95 manufacturers with some of this garbage. There's a list by which the CDC authorized external manufacturers: Personal Protective Equipment EUAs
Also, crosscheck any international testing results for the filter media. The CDC helps to regularly test and retest manufacturers to make sure they're not putting out garbage: International Assessment Results | NPPTL | NIOSH | CDC
And last, another key thing to remember is the filtration rates are under ideal circumstances and testing. If you don't get a good seal against your face, then you're not really using it properly.
Anyway, mostly just some helpful links in case you're cross-checking against some of the counterfeit bullshit to make sure you're getting something that actually has "some" effectiveness.

Unless the election results drop in favor of Trump this week, I think I'll add another 50% to my prepping stock.
Literally the worst scenario has unfolded, with results that are either illegal, or may not be accepted given the division in the country. Regardless of which option pans out, it doesn't look pretty.
A month from now, it may be starting to look bad. I'm grabbing what else I can.
