Prepping - Yes or No?

[AlwightDallin]

Ok so as a stupidly organised person I must admit I’m prepared for any ‘global event’ that might result in disruption to the food supply chain, electricity / gas supply etc.

I don’t think it’s likely we face a nuclear threat, as an IT manager I think it’s more likely a cyber attack. Of course when you tell people you’re prepped they automatically assume you’re one of the extreme ones (you know the sort, they wear camo and don’t trust the mainstream media )

I am very normal but yes I have a ‘what if’ cupboard which alleviates my worries should anything happen, even a local issue. Just wondered if anyone else is prepped for what if too?

After covid I would have thought this was much more mainstream, but apparently not.

We have about a month's worth of food stored, some medicines (luckily none of us are dependent on prescription medications), batteries, water.

We have solar panels and a house battery, which would probably help keep the freezer going on a sunny day without mains, but maybe not much else. That was fluke, we just bought a house with solar already installed, but we love it.

For anyone thinking of storing food or emergency supplies, start small, don't panic. Even a day or two of you not needing to rush to the shops for basics eases pressure on the supply chain and helps get things back on track.

It is a sensible idea, regardless of any future situations.
