But once again we are facing a time where a lot is not known and where it will go. So again, I encourage people to be prepared. Have at least a month's worth of food (food that does not need to be cooked, so canned food) and water for your family. Keep a good supply of vitamins, medical supplies and toiletries. And now given how things have gone with the fuel supply I suggest you don't let your vehicles go below a half a tank before filling up.
Edit: Also don't know if I mentioned it before but also a radio that does not need batteries. I have a few that are solar powered, have a flashlight built in and also have a hand crank that can supply power if need be.
Edit 2: As the price of gas is going up the price of food is also increasing due to the cost of production and delivery. So even if you are not worried about the worst case scenario there is no harm in filling your freezer with meat and vegetables that you will use. The prices may very well go up so best to buy them now.
Again I'm not some doomsday prepper or trying to get people to panic, but I want to encourage my fellow Bengals fans to make sure they have what they need if things go bad (for example if there is a cyber attack that shuts down banking and the ability to buy things with a debit or credit card). It's better to have those things and not need them than to be caught without when they might be needed.
Also don't forget about the needs of your dog(s) or other pets.
Lastly please don't make this thread political.
Nice thread George, missed it the first time around.
My family has the essentials, canned and frozen food, military and other dried foods ugh, water, backup generators and got
us a Frontier saw mill last year so we can mill our own lumber which is huge with the lumber prices nowadays. Got my faith
which is #1 in my life which provides everything as I need it.
BTW, the power went out a couple weeks ago the day before the Superbowl and it was weird going into town. All those
people standing around in the dark and not being able to purchase anything. I honestly think every business should have
backup teller machines that are man powered instead of computer powered. Lots of people will die if this is not thought
about more. You have to have fall back plans in case the power goes out for not just hours but weeks or even months.
