Sagebrush posted:you don't need to stockpile water because if the emergency seems imminent you just fill up your bathtub and that'll keep you going until a better system is set up. if you are really worried, maybe get a couple of 5-gallon jericans and put them in your shed. i feel like a lot of people do need to stockpile water, esp in quake zones, because emergencies may not seem imminent until they've happened. if you have somewhere to do it, just take all your 2L bottles or milk jugs or whatever, clean em out, fill em with water and put like 1-2 drops of bleach in it to kill bacteria. Then stash it somewhere that wont be a disaster when one of them springs a slow leak. A gallon per day per person is Good Enough for Emergencies. when you have enough, rotate out the old ones as new ones come in. rotor fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Mar 26, 2020 |

the best prep you can do is convert to mormonism beyond the built-in stockpiling the community has the strong social structure and practice actual mutual-aid etc. (aside from all the negative issues with mormonism, ofc)

You also gotta survive, since the longer you stay alive the more you get to experience. I don't think there really is a point besides to be happy. It's one of the things I hate about capitalism: the point isn't to make everyone happier, it is to make money.

capitalism certainly could be a way to improve people’s lives but it’s often not leveraged that way.Stereotype posted:The purpose of life is just to experience stuff I think.

an average bathtub filled to the brim is about 200 litres, so that's enough for a family of four to survive 2 weeks. if you want to live at the next level up in that chart, including sponge baths and doing dishes and stuff, you aren't storing that in gallon jugs. you'd be using 5 of those jugs per person per day. not reasonable. point stands

I've got an 80gal water heater, which i deliberately chose over a tankless for reasons that included emergency water storage, and about 20gal of water in various containers. I keep around 20 cans of non-condensed soup and try to rotate in new ones as i eat the old ones. I have some MREs still that i mostly bought for larfs about 10 years ago that i should probably replace at this point. Sleeping bags & coats and whatnot are where i can find them. I have a big first aid kit in a tackle box. I heartily recommend Celox, if you get a big gash in your hand like me and you're bleeding like a fuckin stuck pig, it will stop the bleeding rapidly. What I don't have that I really should is a stash of antibiotics, but its mostly because my daughter is allergic to penicillin derivatives and those are the ones you can get without a prescription. I have an extra pair of glasses stuffed into the first aid box too. I have a big ol generator as well but i needed that for building stuff up north so it's just a happy coincidence. I don't really have a heating solution in case the gas & power go out, but its san francisco, it's not like it freezes here. anyway that's my emergency prep stuff, hope u enjoyed it.

antibiotics generally have bad expiries just fyi so u would need to rotate plus people are generally clueless as to what antibiotics are useful for what. my experience is that people think of antibiotics as a single entity that fixes problems my question is do people have enough acid for the end times. i hope when i die i’m tripping absolute balls

now that the us has taken leadership here where other countries were too afraid to, it should be just a few weeks before we've conquered the virus it's kind of cool how the virus is illustrating that the most dangerous thing in our lives is other people
