Speaking of buckets, I just saw gamma lids at Winco! For $6.48, about $2.50 cheaper than I paid for them at Emergency Essentials years ago. They even had several different colors.

I think this prepping thing is spreading, if we can purchase supplies in regular stores now. You can count on the MSM to just ignore it, of course. When they aren’t trying to belittle us.

I remember a while ago that someone posted their Walmart had long term storage food. I have never seen such in this area, and I also think this area is mostly people who don't think ahead. It astonishes me every time a hurricane comes through, there is nothing left in stores and all gas stations are out of gas.

I've said it before, that once a hurricane goes through Houston, people are demanding water and food within an hour. I had a working portable battery TV after Ike went through, and couldn't believe my eyes that people were having fits for water immediately. The water was contaminated and they had not stored one cup or bottle of their good water before it came through. If we have an extended emergency, those people are going to die for sure.

So, if stores had storage food available here, I doubt enough would buy it to make it worth while for the store to have it.
