Thanks for sharing your prep ideas Keisha. I have a small stockpile of basic supplies like flour, oats, oil, sugar, milk powder, pasta, cocoa/ coffee, plus dry baking goods. I like just enough on stand by to carry with me if I want to leave town. My family and a few friends are already surviving separately at the end of the line so I keep the weight of supplies to 20 kg or less if I travel by train, plane, or bus. Well, that was the first time anyway as I was scoffed at for bringing food a thousand miles that could be brought up in the village and asked why didn't I bring down feijoas! (a green fruit that grows in abundance in my region with a short shelf-life) So I actually learned a lesson, that 20kg of fruit could be a highly tradeable item, just one good size fruit was costing them 50c to a dollar each at their market. There will certainly be food supply disruption in the near future and for a lot of people the ability to pay for it.

A word to the wise for you.  Never advertise what you have.

ein spiel mit mir.  i think thzt romstein.  yah i did a whole study on aquaponics to determine input vs output to sustain a family of 4 and came out with disappointing numbers and its like 1000 gallons of water to reconstitute a year of dehydrated food.  I bought SOME seeds but need to start growing like in my apt just to get a idea how its done because farming is scientific but i cant get out of the city and i dont want to but i dont want to die either yet im working on how to make insulin, antibiotics etc because that is what i understand best right now.

Some advice - Don't spiel out your preparations for the world to see. Also, get 5 lbs of radish seeds, in addition to vitamins, minerals, canned food, prepper meals and gallons of water. It may make all the difference, as they mature in three weeks, and can be grown indoors. Much better than starving.
