The preppers who fear global meltdown in 2024 ....

Out of curiosity, who is the latest greatest long term food supplier? Mountain House is huge bucks from what I saw earlier.

I stopped buying the long term storage foods for a while. I got back into it this year. I only shop the sales and got some decent deals and #10cans. IMO some of the dehydrated foods seem like a better deal than they used to be compared to current food costs. I occasionally stop at a restaurant that has a take out section. They wanted $15 for1 serving of take out lasagna. I can get MH pouch meal with a few servings for under $10. Even if the serving size is not realistic it's still more food with a long shelf life.

My Patriot Supply, even Walmart had some deals.

Check out the Bishop Storehouse in Worcester.
Their prices listed online are for cases, there are 6 #10 cans per case. The shelf life of their food is 30 years
No one can compete with the Bishop Storehouse's prices.
They are open on Thursday and Saturday mornings, and the great thing about the Mormons is, they don't want you. They are happy to sell you their food, but they won't bug and harass you to join their religion.

As TG Pioneer already mentioned, MRE depot is a good place to buy freeze dried meat. I also get my freeze dried tomato sauce from them. Although it is expensive, I think they have the best prices.

I buy #10 cans of freeze dried beef and chicken gravy from Future Essentials.

I mean it could be full on tinfoil hat, but when zuck,bozos,gates and Biden(at/near his Delaware property)and I'm sure these more are all building doomsday esque bunkers near the same time.
One could see that as a sign of something.

I am reminded of the large propane tanks Obama had installed at his Martha's Vineyard mansion.

I wouldn't rule out that as a possibility.
Captain ice cream would.
I mean he's done dumber things

I've said it before and will say it again. I've been hearing this civil war talk since Obama. The people doing that talking always talk the talk, but they never walk the walk.

...or walk the talk.

Civil war talk is speculation and doom porn-ering. It won't happen 'til it happens.

This.

If trump wins it will get interesting.

If biden wins, the next morning everybody on the right will listen to dan bongino on their way to work and post angry "still not my president" shit on facebook.

People have been 'prepping' for 'shtf' for, what, a decade now?

Nothing drastic will happen. It's a slow burn.

Three decades would be a credible start. Some kooks and hippies have been at it since the ‘50s.

Believe me I don’t want any kind of civil war and I do believe that you’ve been correct up until now. The frog in the pot has been steadily cooking for decades, some might argue a century. This feels different though. Crisis after crisis and eventually a society reaches a tipping point.

I’ve said it before that the most historically analogous period is the Spanish Civil War. Disenfranchise, alienate, and criminalize more than half of the population and there will be a reaction. Remember, the “republicans” weren’t classical liberals who simply opposed the previous monarchy. They were hardcore urban communists, eager to destroy the hallmarks of Spanish society and replace it with revolutionary Marxism. Sounds like exactly what we’re facing today.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of parallels between what happened in Spain during the civil war period and what is happening in this country right now. We definitely have a contingent of hard core commies that are going around phucking things up. Then there is also other parallel forces looking to get their hits in as well.

This country right now has some pretty serious structural defects that need to be remedied. Just read an article about how Ilhan Omar has come right out and said that she owes allegiance to Somalia first, Islam second, and the US somewhere after that. There are other people and groups who clearly have the same order of allegiances, even if they won't come right out and admit it as openly as she has.

That shit needs to be "cleaned up". There's no way the country survives if a good portion of the people within it , who have positions of power within it's ruling system - are effectively traitors in waiting.

Another year with this guy at the helm the possibility of hitting an iceberg is a real concern..!! Letting 8 million plus people to cross our boarders illegally has to have some ramifications..?? Like one politician said,that's equal to 4 Nebraska's....!

I saw some talk recently where they were estimating that the amount of illegals in the country may be as high as 22 million. There apparently is some bill in Congress now where they want to let in up to 5000 a day. That's more than 1.8 million a year. It's phucking ridiculous. The US government is more of an enemy than the government of any foreign country ever dreamed of being.

With all that happened in 2020 and the collapse didn’t happen I lost some energy for prepping. And the thought of roving gangs that will reach every inch of southern New England in search of a can of beans when the collapse does happen.

Same here. I ended up having to toss a bunch of MRE type food I bought so far back that it had far exceeded it's shelf life. I don't have infinite time and money to "prep" into eternity , especially because I've seen over the last 20 years how a lot of prep paranoia has gone exactly nowhere.

On the other side though, I'm a firm believer that things can definitely go to shit. Because of that I've tried to align my life around things that could be thought of as prepping , but that also fit into my general lifestyle. Despite the near constant bleating by my wife for almost three decades now , I've absolutely refused to go live in anything resembling a city. At least my suburban lot can support a garden if we had to plant one , the town is marginally 2A friendly , I have space in my home to store what supplies I have .....etc.

If I lived in an urban situation I'd likely have none of that, and be surrounded by zombies when SHTF finally came as well.

civil war? that requires work. most people rant, rave make a lot of noise but when it comes down to it are to lazy to acti out, when the populace can't put food on the table then it will happen.

2020 proved that this is true for one side of the political spectrum but certainly not the other

The thing about that - that you guys seem to ALWAYS "conveniently" ignore -is that that "other" side you're referring to - was PAID to be a bunch of agitating commie douchebags. By your tax dollars I might add.

Last time I checked - aside from all the FBI agents - all the people who were there on J6 did so on their own dime. And suffered because of that BTW. Whereas the "other" side hasn't paid a price AT ALL from what I can see.

A lot of you seem to draw the conclusion from that - that "we" have lost. I just think a lot of people on our side smartened up - like an Army that got it's ass handed to it in the first battle of the war - and has pulled back to re-evaluate.

In the end I think - and there's a LOT of right wingerish type people who seem to agree with this - the only way we clean house and get back to sanity is for a bunch of people to hang. And the people who need to hang, won't give up without first sacrificing all those same idiots who rioted back in 2020. So in the end - a whole bunch of people need to get shot - before this mess gets cleaned up. Shot, dumped from helicopters - etc. And there's been numerous people here pointing out that - previous "right wing" or traditionalist victories - like the Spanish Civil War and Chile under Pinochet - didn't come without cost. They also didn't come without being smart about their fight. I read recently (for instance) that Franco INTENTIONALLY prolonged the Spanish Civil War - because he wanted to have the opportunity to kill as many commies on the battlefield as possible , both because the opportunity to get rid of them when the "official" fighting was over would be politically very hard - and also because he knew he simply couldn't leave them around to phuck shit up afterwards.

The same shit is going to HAVE TO happen here. Deportations, mass expulsions, hanging - etc. Are any of you ready to do that yet - do any of you really sense that the political winds have turned to make that acceptable? I don't - but I do think the time WILL come, and the left will MAKE IT COME - by their own actions.

Hitler got elected for REAL REASONS.

I think the time will come as you say but sooner rather than later. As a matter of fact I think it’s imminent.

You’re at a wedding reception. The band starts playing. Everyone stares awkwardly at one another. Once that first adventurous couple gets on the dance floor, it quickly fills with other couples dancing. That’s probably the psychology at work behind civil wars.

Yep. I think that's a good description of how the dynamics can play out. Everybody knows there's a dance coming - but nobody wants to be the first one to get out there and look like an idiot doing it.

I’ve said many times the required component is mass joblessness like a depression. Then suddenly you have angry people with the time to do something about it.

With people forced to work their asses off the keep up with Washington’s inflation, people don’t have the time or energy for insurrection.

Long term I think I'm good, because:
1) I wont live that long anyways
2) I'll be pillaging and hunting instead of eating Mylar packs of spaghetti every day

Good suggestions on food supplies, checking them out, MRED, Lehmans, Bishops.

My biggest problem truly is, everyone kind of knows and jokes, but I know they are serious, "oh Paul's a prepper so I'm coming to his house if the SHTF"
Yea, I can count at least 10 people knocking at my door....ain't got food for them.

Ten people will fertilize a lot of ground if you chop them up a little fine.

I used to get the same response from people......"If anything happens I'm coming to your house".........I'd tell them don't show up empty handed.
I tried in vain to educate these fools who made the same money I made but didn't have the foresight or discipline to prepare in even the slightest way for their own security...."physically, food wise, water wise, etc. etc.

I could not disconnect myself fast enough from these future victims/government dependents.

All kidding aside, I thought meat was actually not a good thing to use as " fertilizer " . I'm sure there's plenty of newbie survivalists who might be thinking " when those phuckrrs show up I'll just chute 'em and shove them thru the wood chipper and fertilize the garden with 'em". .......but maybe it's not the right thing to do?

Underground bunker customers are primarily "normal," middle-class people who want extra layers of protection for a nuclear World War III scenario, says one American manufacturer.

It's actually why the perfect apocalypse animal is a pig. When your neighbors start getting uppity or some raiding party comes around , they're all gonna scratch their heads for a minute over the " you're all future bacon " sign in the front yard .......just before the shots ring out.

How did you survive the apocalypse grandpa? Ham son.....lots and lots of ham.
