Living by the sea, I have bought myself a fishing rod to fend off hunger. I love sushi and smoked salmon not that there are any salmon in our waters. I had my first fishing rod when I was eleven. During my entire fishing career, I caught one fish, but that was with my brother’s fibreglass pike rod. When I saw the float go down, I excitedly pulled on the rod and all that remains in my memory is a silver streak flashing through the sky above my head and an empty hook dangling from the rod. A minute later, a fisherman from further up the bank strode up to me and in a rare turn of phrase, cast aspersions on my parenthood, my intelligence, my low position in society, plus a few choice observations of my skill in fishing, in a few well chosen expletives followed up by several intriguing and rather impossible suggestions as to what I should henceforth do with myself - none of which could be referenced in any self respecting thesaurus let alone a dictionary or even a book of American slang! That diatribe signalled the end of my fishing career, but I think it might be safer to give it another go, come the tribulation. In the interim, I shall be getting in some dried beans.One other thing I’d like to mention. When the stores run out of food, there will be riots. We’ve seen the absurdity that happened when the “pandemic“ started and people were hoarding toiletpaper. What do you think will happen if people can’t provide for their families. By being prepared, you can avoid having to go to the store and putting yourself in harm’s way.
They say the first 3 months are the worst cause there will be looting, rioting and people starving. So having at least 3 months of food will give you a better chance at survival.
Plus, we’ve seen prices go up and they will continue to do so. Everything you buy now, you buy for today’s prices, that is a beter return than a savings account .That also means when prices go up even higher, you probably can afford the essentials that are non affordable for others.
It doesn’t mean you have to run to the stores and stack to the rafters, just buy some extra cans when they’re on sale. Buy some extra coffee, lady pads and tampons (cause there will be a shortage), over the counter pain medication, rice, pasta, things like that.
