Re: Dare to Prepare
From "tiny apartment in NYC with literally zero food or supplies" to "remote cabin in Alaska with enough supplies to support my extended family for five years straight", where do you fall on the prepping spectrum?
I currently live in an apartment in a small city. I have a decent amount of food in a large plastic bin and medium-sized suitcase. I plan to get some water filters and a cooking solution ASAP. I also need some fuel that's easy to store to get me to another location if SHTF (hard to store gas in jerry cans if you live in an apartment).

I have been tempted to feel foolish using a good chunk of my spare money to prepare for a hypothetical event when I'm not exactly a big earner recently, but it's very, very easy to imagine a situation happening in the next year where mass panic leads to grocery shelves being wiped out. Add in some "supply chain delays" and there you have it.
I felt by not being prepared, I was making a bet against collective hysteria, and we saw how easily toilet paper was wiped off the shelves during COVID. It would be infinitely easier to redirect that hysteria towards food especially if there was a more significant, acute event. I can't help but think an event of that caliber is set to happen sometime in the next year. To what extent that loose prediction is colored by fear rather than being in the loop, I'm not sure.
