Is it too late to doomsday prep?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24486points) April 13th, 2022

What do you have prepared?

I usually only buy parishables for use within two weeks.

I have lots of lactose free milk that will last a month.

I have some canned food that I won’t eat, and a half jumbo box of spaghetti.

I do however have lots of books to read in case the internet goes down.

Maybe not, but difficult to do it properly, like with a shelter, water, enough meds, supplies, etc.

It’s never too late if you can find it and afford the outlay of cash. Sounds like you’re making a good start.

We have dried foods iike beans, sunflower seeds, lots of pasta-basics with a long shelf life. Canned foods and water storage tank, of course.

With the dried foods, you’ll need food grade plastic buckets & special baggies to protect the dried foods to help keep the mice away!!! Go on youtube & do a search for “prepper”

It’s not, “doomsday” prepping has put a huge stain on practical, basic emergency preparedness that we should all be educated about.

I think people should prepare for doomsday like they shop for Christmas

Put me on your list for chocolate covered almonds, and a surplus bayonet.

Cheers!

It’s not doomsday yet, so no.

Not too late. But doomsday prepping really depends on several variables: what you think will happen, what you have space for, and what you have money for. If you are thinking of having to survive an extended power outage like during a hurricane, that is one kind of prepping. If you are thinking of the total collapse of society, that is another.

I didn’t buy it with Armageddon in mind but I have a Littlbug wood burning stove that is very light and easily carried. It can cook food and purify water.

If I die, I die.

Yes. Go out and embrace it. It’s doomsday afterall. How much do you need to prep for one single day of doom.

During the 60’s when everybody was prepping for the Nuke & everybody had a bomb shelter dug in their yard, my dad said that IF we were meant to go, that we’d go. PLUS, he felt that surviving might be worse than dying so he always told us kids to bend over & kiss our asses goodbye!!!

I can’t remember a day in my life that I wasn’t told be prepared to die, so I stopped worrying about it years ago. I’m at the age where there are some things I consider worse than dying. I’m in NO rush to go, but when my time comes, I’m ready!!!

All that prepping could come to no use if your storage area is damaged in a disaster striking.
Have enough that one can carry in a bug out bag and easy access.

Have enough to last about three or four days as recommem\nded in emergency manuals.

People have been predicting Doomsday for 2,000 years, possibly longer. What, me worry? If it happens it happens, nothing I can do about it anyway.

Things to do besides placing your head firmly between your legs and kissing your ass goodbye? I suppose there are a few other important things…
