What are you stocking up on?

You could get into .22LR reloading and get a rifle chambered for the new VLD .22LR projectiles that @Geno C. and Badlands Precision are coming out with.
That should be a lot of fun as you can basically play scale size ELR with your .22 rifle.
Thanks, I've been keeping cats for nearly 70 years, so this is far from the first time. It's just another disappointment at this point. There are three others here, she was the close one, but they all die eventually.

I'm playing with how far I can shoot consistently but I'm going to wait for more information to see how that is going to work out. Definitely not opposed as that is my goal since the elr ranges are 8 plus hours away. The local range is 700 yards and I have a Charlie macro ordered since I'm out of adjustment at 340 yards and I hate holding over.
I do.
and yes.
I don't think you understand what's happening right now. This minute. This is the breaking point. Clear and present danger.
Speaking of mail-in ballots. My wife has been an Ohio resident all her life.
On Dec. 15th she received on her e-mail an application for a Georgia Mail-in ballot.
Anybody here experience this ??
Seriously though in addition to the obvious.
I’ve been thinking about a list of the most important books and adding hard copies.
I’m gen X and most of the gens below me read electronic books via amazon etc. How easy & how soon before they just erase e books that don’t agree Brawando is the nutrient plants crave!

Unintended Consequences, by John Ross (1996). You can't go wrong. It's a roadmap to what's happening now and how a small group addressed these issues. In hardback it's about 3 inches thick. I've read it 5 or 6 times throughout my life. I could get it out and start all over again.

Cocaine.
Gonna be a lot of broke hookers when the republic falls.

Yes
Have you noticed Venezuela ?
And lol there will be wide spread starvation when it happens. Intelligent farmers working 80-100+ hours a week being replaced by glassy eyes .gov and other parasites who don’t know what work is. Isn’t going to lead to bountiful harvests
Also
Rhoedesia. Used to be the bread basket of Africa then the idiots took over and now they starve

I'm not needing to stock up on anything.
I'm the prepping guy that some here recently tried to ridicule me for...yet here we are.

Primers... lol... or at this point extra flints for the flint lock haha.
If you're going to prep 1776 ,do it with some style for shit sakes.
In all seriousness the old stuff is good shooting right now!

I try to keep a good supply of beer & vodka, but it's hard to do. Groceries are a given, convinced wife to maintain stock of non perishables since Desert Storm. She's on board, the grocery bills scare me at times.
Ammo, powder & primer numbers upgraded & kept an eye on since Klinton.
Not actively stocking or upping that at this time. It has been done, as it should, before any panic.

Not a damn thing I've been good to go for forever since prior to the 2016 election. Now I just keep checking Ammoseek and cheering on higher prices. Here's to hopes of $5/round 556 by February.
However bad things are it'd be better when you got something ta eat.
Saw this coming at the earliest stages of the pandemic, and stocked up on ammo for everything I shoot, so no worries there. That said, I decided to get into handloading when I retired on Nov-1 ... and it's been quite an adventure finding all the "stuff" I needed to get started reloading 6.5-CM, 300-WM, 300-PRC, and 338-LM. Primers were the toughest, brass not so much since I'm firing factory ammo from over-stocking, and re-using the brass. But after acting quickly when things came in stock, and paying extortion-level-pricing on the secondary market (for things like primers), I've got about a years' worth of reloading supplies and I'm building all my large rifle calibers, and have started testing ladders and bullets to get ready for the competition season.
Crazy daze now, and ahead. My current plan is ... (a) if I use it, and (b) can find it, then (c) buy it and get it on the shelf. I don't see the shortages ending any time soon. It's a "Trifecta" where (1) everyone is stockpiling, just as (2) manufacturers are worried about new laws that would potentially curtail their markets and profitability, (3) keeping them from expanding to meet current demand. Nobody is going to invest in manufacturing capacity increases on supplies that could and probably will be hyper-regulated in the coming months and years. They're just going to optimize current capacity, and watch the regulatory markets as the new Democratic administration's policies unfold.
Just remember folks, if the government does go complete Socialist Republic, cash may not mean as much as it once did. Bartering will be the new currency standard. The government will devalue the dollar thus making your stockpile worth a lot less than you think.
Yeah yeah yeah ... at the beginning of Obama's term, many were saying the same thing. At the end of his term, a dollar was still worth a dollar, just like it will be at the end of Biden's term. I'm more worried about the "Zombie Apocalypse", than I am about the end of our country as the result of shifting political parties. Like my wise mom always said ... "This too, shall pass."
There are many ways to measure this ... some indicate lower, some level, some higher. Also, there's a whopping big difference between measuring a historical trend, and saying the dollar will be worthless as the result of a political shift. There are countless controls in the government's power to manage monetary fluctuations. I have faith in our democracy ... we will get through this.
@deersniper is accurate. Read, learn, critically think even if it's not what you want the answer to be.
So you have faith in the newly acquired democracy, because up until NOW its been a constitutional republic . Just another example of how we have gotten to where we are at !
For those of you who don't know , Ramen noodles have 0 nutritional value , if you lived off of them alone for a extended period your body would start to fall apart . You need something with nutritional value to go with them .
My friend, this is not Obama's Democrat party. We have a large faction of pure Socialist just waiting for their turn. We have a VP Elect who is just 1 bribe away from allowing the squad from running wild.
But you have a history of thinking that the Dems aren't that bad. I hope you're right.
For me, I always hope for the best but plan for the worst.
YMMV
I believe that was why he included Spam in his list.
Nope. Spam is purely for trade for pussy.
I like your thinking!
Add to that they have printed an additional $10 trillion since the "pandemic".
The deficit went from $21Trillion in the spring to over $28 Trillion by June. A year ago in the best economy ever under Trump the GDP was around $21trillion. Now it's dropping like a rock and the debt is around $30T.

It's in the manual.

I will not be living off Noodles, as our man @Jefe's Dope pointed out, I am stocking up on trading material. One Comfort for another.
You should stock up on pussy. As that WILL get you EVERYTHING else.Nope. Spam is purely for trade for pussy.
This guy has an interesting perspective on the US dollar, and the system it is based on.

Well pump = 2018
**85 gallon well water pump pressure tank = 2002
**80 gallon water heater = 2006
**washer = 2014

Be very careful ordering from Amazon or any other source. There are a couple (at least) Chinese storefronts using the Amazon platform to sell chines crap.
The lids are much thinner than Kerr or Ball, the rubber ring is no telling what, and the enamel paint is very thin and easily scratched. Took me a week to get GayPal to refund my money, without having to return the defective product.
That's our plan. As soon as I get some business stuff handled we are buying land, selling houses, building house on said land and setting up to be self sufficient. Of course that takes time and I thought we'd have 4 more years of good economy to do so. Trying to speed up the process and we will buy the land this year but the rest will take some time. Looking into some of those bucket food things in the mean time to supplement what we have already. I took care of the more pressing needs long ago, in anticipation of this
True.
I ate almost nothing but, for one solid month in college, almost killed me.
I'd suggest save the money and skip those "bucket survival food" type stuff.
What I would suggest instead is first making sure you have a solid month or three worth of what you normally buy and eat every day and constantly eat the oldest one on the shelf / in the fridge / freezer.
Then get some good freeze dried camping meals such as Mountain House that are actually stuff you would like to eat and would be good to eat and would be filling and satisfying. These are excellent for short term things where you need to eat food for a day or a couple days that you just have to add hot water to, or just add water to and cook over a flame.
Then go to somewhere like: Thrive Life - Shop
Or a similar place and stock up on specific long shelf life storage of the specific ingredients that you cook with and will work well with your diet.
In addition make sure you have plenty of cases of water stored up.
