I always have food, water, ammo, etc stocked. Working on reloading some of the ammo components I have on hand.

Mostly helping others to be better prepared for the current rioting, arson, chaos.

I never got that you know. I mean, some folks have so much optimism that they’ll have enough “material” to even need tp.
Going to Walmart at that time there was no tp, but plenty of vegetables and meat. Some crazy optimism. :)

As far as preparedness goes I think we’re good. Don’t forget your meds folks!

Ready.gov has basic resources including how to build a kit

Firearms are great but don't discount fitness and medical skills.

Our insurance changed this year. One of the changes is that now we get 3 months supply of our prescriptions.

I live out in the middle of nowhere. You can't see my house from the road. I'm good on ammo, and there is enough food walking around here on four legs, or swimming in the lake, or growing out of the earth to last a lifetime. I'm short on two things, fuel and prescription medicines. I'm thinking of getting a 500 gal fuel tank. That would solve the fuel problem. My generator will run the whole house but I only keep enough fuel for a few days. But prescription drugs is almost impossible to stock up on.
Do what you say you're gonna do.

. I never thought that medicines or excercise would be a concern. When you are healthy and focus on eating and health. You don't consider what others are dealing with. My heart goes out to those who live with such challenges.

I have lead - what is it you need?

45 ACP primarily. I can get .30 cal easy enough but it would be FMJ and I try to avoid loading FMJ rifle because I can't shoot it at the outdoor range I visit. Everything else I've got "rookie numbers" of.

Unfortunately for many of us it's just a fact of life... My wife has early onset Parkensions, my son has Chrone's and I have a minor heart condition... all are either genetic or luck of the draw.. We have always exercised and tried to eat well... Just sometimes things happen...

Ah, not literal lead - I thought you were wanting to cast bullets :)
LOL I did at one point in time but I fear I'm out of space to start new reloading processes in my apartment.
