Not just food and water but medical supplies, medication, alternate heat sources, old cookbooks, the staples like flour, sugar, ect. Never before have I been compelled to do this and I look at my basement with all this extra food stored and I wonder if I am going nuts!

I don't know what is coming but I am not the only one doing this. Something is coming.






Also I find myself stocking up on things that would be good for trade...like coffee. No idea why I am doing this. Personally, I think I'm nuts.

I don't think you're nuts.

One thing I've wondered about, though, is if it turns out that stored items are needed in the future, how am I going to go about sharing with those who have made no preparations?
