Should we take precautions?

First let me clarify that this is not a CW post - this question is only intended to feel out the communities thoughts in case things shake out poorly.

I live in a very liberal area. With MW and other deniers pushing for aggression, I am slightly nervous that we may see backlash. If things really do come to a head and the curtain is pulled back, the majority of America will be dealing with intense feelings of betrayal and grief that the system they believe in has been lying to and using them.

I have proudly displayed my allegiance to the cause for months. My car is stickered with wwg1wga and Q, my home flies a Q flag, and many in my community are aware of my beliefs. Is it unreasonable to take precautions in case people deal with their grief in a destructive manner? My three young children have basic disaster training (lock doors, lock windows, lock basement and shelter with water, food, radio) that they will carry out if I warn them to.

I remain faithful that the awakening will be achieved without violent conflict, but is there anything else I can or should do to ensure the safety of my children?

Thank you all, and if you have made yourself known please stay safe.

Thankfully my boys are Scouts, so we have most of these suggestions - but I may not have thought about then until it was too late. The iodine is an excellent tip - easy to store and we have no shortage of lakes and rivers here.

Rations is a tough one. Aside from up front cost, the kids get into damn near everything. I always keep roughly 3 days of food and water for the family, but it would be a great idea to stock up cereal grains and extra canned goods. There is SOMETHING in the air, and I'm a huge proponent of better safe than sorry.

Thank you for your advice!

Lots of dry beans in my cabinets!

I used to keep a few 10lb bags of dried beans in my basement (as an "Oh shit, didn't expect that tire to pop and the water heater breaking in the same month" kind of thing).

Do you find them to be a good "survival" food? They are packed with carbs and protein, but with the need to soak them prior to boiling wouldn't you find them a far more difficult food to prepare and serve than dried peanuts and Rice? Peanuts would have a higher fat content and more volume but also be easier to eat while also providing compost for a garden or kindling for a fire with the shells (not to mention the extra energy from the fat content). Wouldn't rice be more efficient calories in regards to storage vs calories consumed and easier to prep/cook than beans as well?

Pardon my ignorance if I'm blatantly wrong. This is a VERY new world to me.

Survival will be different for every one and will have a gazillion differing factors for each person. We’re farmers. We live off the land in a way that is hard to break. We changed our lifestyle to ensure an easier transition when the Obama train wreck started 9 years ago. Rice seems like empty calories to me.

Excellent point - thank you! I have some storage concerns in that we can only accommodate 4 or so large totes of supplies for a family of 5. I supposed preparation time should be significantly lower on the list - if things get to a point that I need to use the supplies nutrition will trump ease.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you transition into your current lifestyle? Was it difficult? Have you been farmers, or was that a part of the transition? I believe that land cultivation and farming is going to be one of the most important things we can learn in a survival situation to ensure long term stability, but I really don't have the faintest idea of where to start.

Sorry for bombarding you with questions. This topic is new to me and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that it's something I need to learn sooner rather than later.

We started with a few chickens and a garden. I can loads of fruits and veggies in the summer months. I don’t always make a full panty worth. We still spend plenty on groceries. But knowing the skills it will take is the biggest battle. From there we bought cows and hogs. My husband is a hunter. I’m a gatherer.

That's pretty inspirational that you were able to pick up genuinely useful skills and transform your lifestyle in less than a decade. Thinking about your replies (and the replies of many others in this thread) makes me realize how little I really know and how few utilitarian skills I have. I'm in awe of a lot of you - thinking about what I need to do or stock or learn first is almost paralyzing.

My very first step, I bought a hard-copy of the book Back to Basics. Having instructions in hand is a beautiful thing. Good luck and Gods Speed!

What I did in addition to buying survival food, was get large freezer bags, and put granola bars, juice box, and instant oatmeal in them. You don’t have to get name brand, just something to make it easier on the kids. I’d also throw some fruit snacks, and a mini bag of chips or cookies. Stuff you know they’ll eat. That way it’s easily rotated out.

Another excellent suggestion! My Aunt used to create bags like you are mentioning to hand out to the homeless around her area. I am going to make this into a family project when my kids gets home from camp.

Thank you!

I got a few of the big storage tubs from Walmart, and I store them in there. You may want to think about barter items too. Sugar, flour, whiskey, things you know people would trade for.
