pandemic bug in

PANDEMIC BUG IN

Really, not much past the initial reports of Beer Virus, a global shortage of surgical masks started. Want an N95 mask? Sure, plenty of speculators are now third party pricey vendors on Amazon. Remember when the Nips had the Fuki nuclear meltdown ( you do remember that was good old Yankee ingenuity engineering GE brand nuclear plant, don't you? ) and you wanted a radiation meter or potassium iodide? Even Cold War surplus gas masks, if my memory isn't failing me. All gone. Take care. Bye-bye. Welcome to the JIT Jungle, bitches. A shortage is a twenty second news soundbite away.

Whenever a pandemic, or other natural disaster, strikes, do NOT go shopping, do not pass go, and that $200 is not even an option. What you have on hand is it. And I just know, placing a jelly filled donut as a wager, some damn fool is going to be short on supplies because he insisted on only the very best survival supplies and was horrified his kit was not Gucci. A stinking $1 Mylar space blanket? Hells to the no, bro! We must have a $327 minus thirty all natural goose down ( from geese fed only Asahi beer and massaged daily to reduce their stress ) sleep system approved by Russian Spetsnaz troops. Suck a dingus.

*

I know, I know, envy, go capitalism, nothing wrong with massive income equality because lazy welfare bitches. If you have butt tons of money to spend on gear, I hear a certain Idaho Prepper Guru will be more than happy to board your Lear jet and come consult for you. You can buy all the very best. You can still suck a dingus. Back in the real world, today's class is living within your means so you don't have to be the bankers little prison bitch, lipstick pasted on Joker Style and your rectum leaking AIDS.

*

I shouldn't have to make a list for you. I HATE lists. Yeah, I know, I still use them. I just really dislike them. Just close your eyes. Envision being at home, without the ability to go out. No supply runs, no grocery shopping. The power is out. What can't you do? Can you go take a dump after the stress gives you the screaming craps? That is as simple as a big bag of gerbil sawdust/shavings at the Wal-Mart pet section, and a five gallon bucket.

*

You have a mega pack of thirty gallon kitchen trash bags don't you? The bags aren't to bury the waste in, but to keep the bucket sanitary. You dump the contents in a hole in the back yard or a couple tires stacked up, with a sheet of glass over the opening to make a solar crapper. If it rains too much, line the hole with a plastic trash can. You don't urinate in the bucket, either. The turds go in dry and stay that way. When full, leave the glass on and leave for a year. Dig another hole.

*

How is that water storage? You think the water treatment plant will continue to work, if the sewage isn't, as workers cannot work or the plant is damaged? You are bugging in and already have a roof. Water tanks are a buck a gallon. Buy several small ones instead of one giant one. One bullet and you'll be out of luck, otherwise. Can you cook inside? What, you only have a BBQ grill? Those things are crap, as a stove top. You only have a half tank of propane? The propane store ( that sells propane and propane accessories ) is JIT also.

*

Have a dog? Why don't you have a doggy-door to the garage or back yard, wherever your propane tanks and/or spare gas cans are? You need an instant reaction force, not a alarm ineffective through too many walls. You don't think theft won't be instant and incessant? Does your dog have a pair of galvanized trash cans full of dog food, one being used while the other is always full ( rotated, naturally )? Why not? His ass is a much better alarm than you are, sleeping deeply after too many nights awake with stress.

*

What about heat? Can your woodpile be stolen? You might not even notice, if a smart thief only takes a handful a night. But it will add up. Put Lassie in a doghouse outside. Dogs are a REAL force multiplier that won't run out of ammo, break a fragile piece of glass, fail as it is a Chinese microchip or require petroleum. And don't forget, mice and others wishing to feed on your food storage need a cat for control. The cat can use the doggie door, or if you do install a litter box, use wood fuel pellets instead of clay. You just need to shift out the wet sawdust and it is cheaper and stinks less.

*

People who hate cats need to suck it up buttercup. The Black Plague is Gods way of punishing idiots who don't value cats. Moving on, do you have the linen and clothing for far less heat in your home? Even if you don't want wool blankets, at least get a couple of cotton quilts and a down comforter per bed. Nothing feels better than a warm cozy bed breathing in cold air. It is probably healthier as well. Getting up sucks, but it wakes you up quicker than coffee. Got plenty of coffee? It always tastes better while camping, but wearing a nice thick wool sweater keeps that core heat from a hot beverage inside where it belongs.

*

What kind of food do you have at home? You WILL get tired of MRE's and freeze dried slop, quick. Have familiar and comfort foods. Try to store what you eat. NOW that BBQ comes in handy, to use up the freezer foods. Try to have foods you eat every day. If you can help it, don't rely on those rice and beans right away. Yes, soon enough we will all be eating the same boring foods every day and every meal. Try to postpone that as long as possible. Again, it is a stress relief vehicle. Try to EASE into survival living, a period of adjustment. If this is a short term emergency, you don't want to be living off long term stores anyway.

*

Got plenty of over the counter meds? Something as simple as diarrhea can kill you if it is severe enough. But a box of Pink Pills ( I go with the pills instead of the liquid. Much cheaper, and I surmise longer lasting. Crush up for better absorption-more importantly, for much quicker reaction ) is $2 for forty. Over the counter generic is so cheap, for ALL meds, it is criminal not to stock deep. That will be one of the first things gone ( besides beer ) in a panic.

*

None of this has to be expensive. It is for short term prepping emergencies as well as long term survival. It is good for the coming long electric black-outs that will be a de facto rationing ( think, California, forever, until complete grid down ). It is great for stocking up so you only buy on the grocery store loss leaders. It is great getting you practiced for living off grid. It is supplies for off grid, tested. It gets your house ready for living without grid power. It doesn't have to be your apocalypse shelter, but rather your half way house to there. You can't go wrong supplying for a pandemic bug-in, even if it never happens.
