Coronavirus Prepping

[WARFAB]

The Firing Pin just posted on Facebook asking for any firearms they can sell on consignment Apparently they're pretty much tapped out.

not that I have a fatalistic view of this,
and
I am trying to make sense of the over-reaction, as it does not serve .Gov to have an interruption of business and TAXES COLLECTED

but to prep in case of Internet interruption

Bad Orange Man not getting to replace multiple dead supremes is more important than collecting fake money?

[Norm DeGuerre]

STATES can not Print Money
they must collect it
those employees are not going to abide by no paychex

I smell another massive Bail Out coming for all the damaged businesses
Airlines, Cruise Ships, Hotels

Don't forget to keep gas tanks topped off.

[usmcveteran]

I know I know, I should of done this sooner but I'm going to spend next couple days stocking up on stuff. Lucky I'm out of work so I plan on going when stores first open after restocking night before.

Going to top up gas tank as well.

[WARFAB]

Don't forget to make sure you have cash on hand too. As gtnorry pointed out at lunch, small bills are good to have.

Bought gas reserve for the generator, but seldom run the bigger one, sucks gas so if necessary rotate fridge and freezers, wood stove blower and well pump, but not concerned at this point. Withdrew cash and buried in the yard, ha ha. Even replenished diesel for the tractor.
We will be moving towards more canning this year to include beef and venison for less dependence on electricity as well as an approximate portable 300 watt solar set up for the camper and work shop. Move to lithium batteries in a couple more years from golf cart deep cycle flooded 6V for more capacity. The problem I see with solar is the never ending need for upgrades and expansion unless that is just people being people and constant tweaking, but it doesn't come cheap.

I'm getting my first short term disability checks today, will stop at ATM, good reminder on cash.

Don't forget maybe getting some booze as well. Could be good barter item, maybe disinfectant, or heck something to just drink lol

[WARFAB]

Good luck finding any disinfectant.

If there is anything local there that's good that we can't get around here can you grab me a bottle? None of the flavored crap lol. Anything up to $50 and I'll pay you when you get back.

[thughes]

I'll see what I can do. ;-)

[usmcveteran]

Sweet! Thank you!

If your a Vet with PX privileges, hit up the Navy PX in Saratoga, decent prices, I just can't drink anymore between Gulf War BS and all the meds, but I'm still alive so that's a plus, I think.

Ammo is an extremely hot commodity right now. Prices are high and things are selling out fast.

I'll bet the percentage increase in value for ammo over the past 3 months is doing better than gold. Prices could go even higher given the scarcity situation. Good luck finding 9mm.

[thughes]

Some of us roll our own.....

[Norm DeGuerre]

I have plenty 9mm
bring on them Zombies
I am the Omega Man )

[usmcveteran]

My nurse at appointment today told me to make sure I don't get bit LOL. Obviously a zombie reference

I am surprise the tinfoil is still plentiful. That is the problem, perhaps people are not wrapping enough of it around their heads.
