Good beginning - hope they are planning to farm, raise livestock and grow corn etc., for the long term. Unless they plan on shooting wild turkeys, deer & rabbits.

While I applaud this family for doing this I see no board games or other form of “primitive” entertainment for the kids? Eventually the little ones are going to get bored.

That’s an awful lot of assorted staples. Guess they have lots of papers to attach together.

Thanks for the publicity == now everybody knows where to go when they run out.
To: dennisw
Looks like they are stockpiling kids as well!

Dad’s survival would be much more assured with daily trips to the gym.

Heirloom seed bankIf they don't know how to/aren't currently gardening, they are going to be very disappointed and hungry.
I spent most of a decade making all the common mistakes and losing some crops before I got really good at being able to count on putting enough food back to last until next spring.
At that, I'm out of tomatoes from last summer's harvest, but I'm still good on jalapeno peppers.
Having the stuff doesn't give you the skillsets to use it.

I need his address. I need to take what he’s got in the ZA.

6 children so father has a standing army to fire on would be pillagers, post-apocalypto zombies and desperate Democrat hacks

They’re going to need a gas supply, and lots of it.

I don't think that casting aspersions is the way to go here. OPSEC is smart but helping to spread the idea to others has a measure of nobility too.
No prep is perfect and this family is way ahead of most. If they lead others to begin prepping in some way then I applaud their message.

A few packs of playing cards could do the trick - but definitely more than one pack. The little one on the end looks kind of shifty and she might mark the deck...

They also have a small “community” of their own, which would be of mental and emotional help.
