@SkotlandSkye asked an interesting question re how long you could hold out with your current supplies. By comparison I felt my preps are woefully short. Just wondering what kind of preps people have, particularly food water etc. I have some drinking water, but that is mostly stored in a vehicle. I have capacity at home to purify the unlimited water I have here. I have 25 KG of rice vacuum sealed, a few boxes of spices and condiments, about 50 kg of canned foods. We grow about 60-80% of our fruit and vegetables.
My strategy if thing go belly up is to stay as safe and quiet as I can in the short term. Keep myself to myself. I expect that things would settle to some extent within a month but rationing of water and power is likely. We get total blackouts here in fires and occasionally water gets cut if the sea encroaches on the council supply of fresh water.
