>he didn't start prepping for shit to get crazy way back when a quarter of Mainland China's population was put under lock down and welded into their own homes
why?
>he didn't start prepping when the highway of the Sea (the Suez canal, where 90% of your foreign shit goes through) started becoming geopolitically unstable as a result of Egypt being fucked agriculturally because of Ethiopian dams and Saudi Arabian merks and artillery crews bombing civilians in Southern Yemen for the fun of it and getting their critical oil infrastructure shot at back as retaliation
WHY?
>he didn't start prepping when the USA officially entered the Cold War 2.0 when our government openly started handing out free Stinger anti aircraft missiles and LAWs to Holol fighters in the Ukraine invoking the wraith a of the Ruskies not to mention the fact that the Ukraine produces a majority of the worlds wheat for the third world and Russia huge is a net exporter of critical fertilizers meaning we'll be seeing many future mass famine die offs
WHY?
>he didn't start prepping when Saudi Arabia basically said fuck it and opted to ditch the US petrol Dollar in favor of a petrol Yuan instead
NIGGER WHY, WITH THIS MANY RED FLAGS IMPLYING WE'RE FUCKED?
Geez anon talk about being late to the party...
<cold storage
Probably to late now but for one I'd recommend getting a chest freezer as they're way more energy efficient and will therefore hold a cool temperature longer than a traditional side door fridge even without any power because cool air tends to sink while hot hair rises so a chest/box makes sense. Other than that some candles might be a good idea too.
<long term food supplies
Also you you don't want your entire food stock to be reliant on electricity so get a few giant bags of quality Vietnamese Thai or American rice
not Chinese though because they export fake plastic rice which obviously isn't gonna be healthy, beans, canned or air sealed bags of tuna, dehydrated kale chips and canned green beans for your veggies, and some Jerky, freeze dried soups, and MRE's on days when you're doing a lot of physical actives otherwise don't bother with that last one.
<self defense
Well your pretty fucked for firearms and ammo though I there's still plenty of used but perfectly functional Glocks in the market though you'll pay a boat load for 9mm ammo, as for a rifle I guess you could just get a Ruger American bolt action chambered in 308 or 270 that way you'll actually have a chance of finding said ammo in normal stores shelves. A good ol 12 gauge is fine too though.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH *Weeze, Weeze* AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Good luck with that along with somehow finding a small box of cheap Remshit 5.56 that won't cost you three weeks worth of groceries.
Of course this is assuming you don't live in a anti 2A state/city all together in which case I'd recommend you get yourself and every member of your family you give a shit about a can of pepper spray for when the
Great Chimp Out of 2022 inevitably starts.
<weather ready
If you live in a very hot sunny humid or very dry area and you don't for whatever reason already have good window blinds/curtains then you should get them plus cool moister wicking cloths because you should have those every Summer regardless, also a bunch of bottled water which should be obvious.
I'd so suggest learning how to garden and starting with a little victory garden but given you live in a city that's not likely something you can do. At best I'd imagine you could at least have a little balcony tomato plant, I'd recommend cherry plum tomatos since those are tasty in salads or just as a stand alone snack.
<getting the fuck out bag
Lastly I'd suggest making yourself a bug out bag in case your whole city goes out in flames LA riots style and over time encouraging your friends and family to have one too. Nothing to fancy, just some bare essentials like high protein and carb foods, a flask of water (should be BPA free) a few pocket tools like a good knife and glass breaker, spare socks and underware, and a first aid kit in case you or a buddy gets hurt.
Remember this isn't a camping bag, it's a throw on and run away from hordes of commies and niggers throwing molotovs bag so keep it lite and simple.
Here's a good
YouTube Odysee channel for this kind of stuff, he's a bit of a Boomer and a fucking leaf too but I enjoy his content personally. You should give it a look.
