    India blocking all wheat exports as of last Friday. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/14/india-blocks-all-wheat-exports-with-immediate-effect.html

    Couple this with the impact on grain supplies due to Russia v Ukraine and the shit is going to really hit the fan. The poorest countries will suffer most with large scale starvation and unrest.

    Shit is about to get real. Hell I don't even consider myself a prepper but over the last few years I have quietly assembled two full shelving units worth of Mountain House/Peak/Wise/Auguson 30 year shelf life premade meals (in 4 gallon buckets) and #10 cans full of powdered eggs, powdered cheese, powdered milk, etc. Figure it's a full 2-3 month supply of food for a family of 4-5. I know all the "real" preppers sort of scoff at huge loads of the premade just add water stuff, preferring to go full on canning vacuum sealing warlord style, but this was a good low stress way for me to prepare with a good chunk of emergency food stuffs. I also bought tons of water purification tabs, fish antibiotics, etc.

    Not trying to be alarmist but I had long thought people would lose their minds in any kind of sustained power grid failure type situation (whether it be cyber attack or solar flare), and had done very low grade prepping for years, but when I watched shelves go barren for weeks and toilet paper be out for months after Covid kicked off it really prompted me to get a bit more serious about having food available in the event of some catastrophic situation, which it looks like the Biden presidency is turning into. Funny to think I got serious thinking about your usual catastrophes like solar flares, real pandemics and the like, but it turns out a dementia addled racist green grifter and his merry band of retard dems are more likely to cause you to starve than a run of the mill catastrophe. They are the catastrophe.

    I also just bought another humidor so I can get that filled up in the event I can't get cigars for a few years. This is probably the most important part of my prepping. A reliable tobacco source.

    Where did you say you lived?
