Navigating Through Uncertain Times

In an era where the drumbeats of war reverberate through the international corridors of power, my concern, once nestled in the realm of caution, edges closer to the precipice of alarm. The dance of geopolitics has always had its share of discord, but the tempo of recent events seems to march to a more ominous tune. The clang of arms in distant lands echoes through the global arena, each clash resonating with the potential to escalate into a cacophony of worldwide conflict.

It's not paranoia that guides my actions, but a pragmatic foresight born from observing the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Last night, as I ordered a three-month supply of freeze-dried food, I was not succumbing to fear but preparing for the unknown. The pantry of prudence now holds a modest stock against unforeseeable exigencies. As I continue to hope for peace, the realist in me embraces preparation, a small yet tangible bulwark against the turbulent tides of uncertainty that threaten to engulf the fragile calm of today’s world.

Anyone else feeling like this?

Would you mind telling me what freeze dried food you bought and a link please?

Thanks in advance.

I think I need to buy some too.

I have loads of food in my basement.
Canned fruit, vegetables and meat.
Vacuum sealed rice and beans
Water purification equipment.
Antibiotics.
Enough ammo to protect it all..

So yeah, I'm just like you.

I'm not paranoid about my house burning down but I do have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.

Many of the "survival foods" have single meals so you can order different brands and see which you prefer. Keep in mind, these are dehydrated/freeze dried vacuum packed meals and some are meant to last 25 years so none of them are all that great. Some are better than others, but none of them will ever beat fresh food or even what you get on store shelves.

It's survival food. You'll be glad to have if you need it, but that doesn't mean you'll like it.

You can freeze dry and vacuum seal your own food, if you invest in the equipment.

As long as I have a couple bottles of good Champagne in the wine fridge, I consider myself "stocked" (and potentially "loaded"!) for the Apocalypse.

I live where an earthquake/tsunami could take out the roads and bridges, leaving us cut off. I was already prepared.

We have some supplies. Long term sealed buckets of rice and potatoes.
Not enough for WWIII. No one has enough for that. And it's expensive.

This is the link to the one I bought, there are other options too.

Agreed, the kit I bought was almost a thousand dollars. The way I look at it is, we have enough food to get over the initial shock of what's happening around us. Gives us time to adapt to a potential new way of living.

I think that is a perfectly reasonable approach!

That a big investment, one of those machines at Ace Hardware (in Montana) is around $5000.
