Military action against North Korea--what should we, as preppers, be doing now?

We should be making sure we're well-stocked in water, food, heat/light/cooking fuel, health/medical, hygiene, and defense.

My view is that we should not be focused as much on specific events or scenarios as we should be focused on making sure we're well-prepped. You're going to need the above things in any scenario (possible exception: heat), so ensuring we have a good and balanced supply is essential. Get them in place first if not already supplied.

So we go to war....maybe NK can get off a nuke at us, maybe not. If it's a low-altitude burst, we have nuclear fallout to concern ourselves with. That implies evacuating if downwind from a plume of fallout, and perhaps laying in a supply of Potassium Iodide.

If NK could set off an EMP, then it's even more imperative to have the six categories above in place.

THE one thing of which I've always found difficulty in laying in a long-term supply is fats and oils, i.e., the food kind. If I were really worried about this, I'd go to the grocery store and purchase several gallons of oil.

I have in place SPAM, Corned Beef, clarified butter, canned butter, a few other items high in fat, but it never seems like enough. My biggest wish as a prepper is for someone to figure out how to make oils and fats storable long term. Things like SPAM are indefinite, and the other items I listed have extremely long shelf lives, but a bunch of cooking oil would be a godsend.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
