What are you prepping for ?

[Abigayle]

Was ist das? It's the sign of future events in the U.S.  Germany didn't know when to leave well enough alone...sound familiar?
Unlike France, which opened it's borders, but had many more homegrown terrorists,  Germany was a neat country. Why didn't the U.S. learn from history? Purposeful???

Biden’s EPA mysteriously stockpiling military-grade equipment: Report
A resurfaced report that initially flew under the radar claims that President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funding to stockpile military-grade equipment and weaponry.

In a letter sent to the EPA in September, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, wrote, “As of September 14, 2023, the Biden administration EPA has already spent $2,892,770 on these items, which is 143 percent more than what was spent during the entire Trump administration.”

Well with millions of military aged illegal immigrants invading our country they have to have a way to arm them in an “off the books” kind of way?  How the heck does the American people expect these invaders to cause havoc and terror without weapons?  🤦‍♂️😳🤦‍♂️. Tik Tok Tik Tok Tik Tok…………..

Police Raid Over FOOD !
TYRANNY: Government Officials Illegally Raid Pennsylvania Man’s Farm Without Notice for Hours and Seize His Property, Leaving Him in Dire Financial Straits
Several government officials on Thursday stormed into a building on Amos Miller’s Lancaster County organic farm and conducted an illegal hours-long raid without notice, eventually leaving with multiple coolers containing the Amish farmer’s property.

The Lancaster Patriot reported the ‘search’ was performed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture employees with three Pennsylvania State policemen aiding them.

As the outlet notes, a search warrant was issued Wednesday by Magisterial District Judge B. Denise Commins. It also included an affidavit of ‘probable cause’ by Sheri Morris, Acting Bureau Director of Food Safety with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

Morris claims in the affidavit that Miller failed to file applications from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture “for registration, licensing, or permitting under the pertinent Retail Food Facility Safety Act, Food Safety Act, or Milk Sanitation Laws.”

Update on the above food raid.
Massie has been active in attempting to craft legislation to allow farmers to sell farm products directly to consumers without being regulated by state and federal officials.

For his part, Miller, whose farm has been raided before, has claimed the rights of a “sovereign citizen” to sell his products to whomever he wants. He has cited the ability of adults to buy his products if they want to, Lancaster Online added. And he is also citing his Amish religion and his right to freedom of religion under the U.S. Constitution.

“Both sides stressed their commitment to the fundamental principles of the Russian-Iranian relations, including unconditional respect for each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which will be confirmed in the major intergovernmental treaty between Russia and Iran as this document is being finalised already.”

Vladimir Putin’s ambitions to revive the Soviet empire go beyond his war in Ukraine, involving lower-intensity geostrategic moves in various parts of the world producing disturbing results in Africa, where a growing chain of anti-Western military dictatorships controlled by the Kremlin could soon reach the Red Sea.

It's o.k.e,  the government will take care of us. We will have nothing and be happy....Isn' that the plan?  If any of you wonder if FEMA or Homeland Security will there to help you, According to a post from Elon Musk, those accounts are being used to move illegals across our country.
What is left of our medical help, for Americans, is also being used for this purpose. I think the hospital in Atlanta probably went bankrupted due to caring for half dead gang members  and their victims, in it's trauma center.  My answer de jour for the subject of this post.....country wide decay...

[Surveyor1]

As far as Russia at the moment I honestly don’t see them as the bad guy in this whole geopolitical mess.  In regards to Ukraine, everything they said was true and everything our government said was a lie!  The US and its MIC has been on the wrong side of history since War II…. Our government so sooooo corrupt it’s kinda ridiculous….  Our country will not survive in its current state.  Not sure what it will be but I’m guessing whichever side of the Deep State that ends up with control will determine if we are socialist/communist or a free (as one could be) and capitalistic country.  I know which one I’m cheering for but I’m afraid that even though some of the younger generations are finally starting to “get it” it may be too little too late.   God be with us!

You are 100% right Abigayle, no one from the government will be coming to help!  If anything they will be coming to harm or steal😡😡😡!

On the Home Front

Squatters have taken over 1,200 homes in Atlanta, Georgia and are terrorizing neighbors with loud parties. One home was even turned into an illegal strip club.

This is a symptom of the lawlessness that has gripped the country in recent years and to make matters worse, laws often favor the squatters, making it extremely difficult for homeowners to get rid of them.

If this is allowed to continue, the problem will only get worse as it spreads.

5 Types of Looters and How to Outsmart Them

A post-SHTF world will hold many dangers, but for many preppers their biggest concern is looters. After all what’s the point of spending time and money gathering the supplies you need to survive a crisis, and then just when you do need them someone else comes along and takes them from you?
Hungry Survivors
Avoid confrontation with these people by pretending to be just as hungry as they are. If you see a group of refugees approaching, rush out and ask them if they can spare something to eat. When they say no, tell them your family are all sick and will die if you can’t get them food. That gives them a reason to avoid your home.

Good Article,  but I would not go skipping down the road to tell people we are also hungry,  just like them. They won't buy it and they may. outnumber, or have no moral code. Stay put if you can and keep them back.....way back...

Abigayle,  My wife is in morning or at least appears to be.  We made a rice & beans run on the grocery store today.  I bet she spent 30 minutes going over the receipt to see why the bill was so much.  It was the pharmacy supplies as we are building a new first aid tote.  I told her not to worry that by the time we make another run on the store it may no longer be stocked or even open. 
I am sterilizing half gallon mason jars now and will fill them in the morning.  I plan to vacuum seal with small o2 absorber inside.  My water boiler will only hold 3 of those half gallon jars at a time.  O well,  I have time Lord willing.

The title of this thread is "What are you preparing for?"

My answer is I don't know, BUT, I am steadily preparing for some SHTF event.  It is a sure thing that IF such an event occurs then food will become scarce.

https://www.askaprepper.com/what-the-1-know-and-you-dont/

So this morning I started preparing the rice I bought yesterday for long term storage.  I got 4ea 2lb bags at Ollies for $1.99 per bag plus a 20% discount coupon.  Then went to Kroger and the same 2lb bag was $1.49.  I got a 5lb bag so 13lb total.  I had 6 half gallon mason jars to put it in.  First couple of pictures are 2lb of rice in a half gallon jar.  The third picture is the end product of 13lb of rice is 5 half gallon jars.  These are intended to go to my mountain campsite.  The problem is there are no shelves yet to put them on and no building heat so it is only a Summer camp site in the mountains at 3000ft where -4deg F was last years recorded low temp.
Similarly you can also store egg noodles and various shapes and sizes of pasta using the same method. 

[RWS]

The beans we decided to put in pint jars as we did not want to open a big jar and use just a few.  With pints the contents will be used up with little to no left overs.  I guess that is because we do not have a frig or freezer at the campsite.  Also you will notice that there are not as many beans as rice.  I grow beans in my garden each summer and plan to get some of my food there. 

Now that the rice and beans are done it is time to move on to egg noodles and pasta of various sizes and shapes.  I can grow beans but I can not grow pasta and egg noodles may be hard to make also.  I hope to get to those soon.

The second picture is of the mason jar adapter I use to vacuum seal the jars.
