We have actually filled up our gas cans at home to have some on hand for whatever.

If we don’t need them, we’ll just use them and refill them when the time comes.

A little situational awareness allows for one to make last minute preps a few days ahead of everyone else.

Yes, we know this. Are you prepared?

Only if I can recover what was lost in the boating accident.

Prepper Ping - A Return to Restrictions ?
Every day common folks see travel and personal relations conflict with an impending Biden lock-down (Covid-19)

(Title): Toilet paper shelves again left bare, as grocery store shoppers worry about (State of) Washington restrictions

"In announcing new statewide restrictions aimed at reducing the spike in COVID-19 cases, Gov. Jay Inslee on Sunday urged people not to hoard supplies.
Buying up everything really hurts everybody, Inslee said, and theres no necessity of it right now."

Back fill your supplies that you have used since March, so that you have a supply on hand.
This includes personal supplies, medications, eyeglasses, dry goods, food supplies, etc., etc.
Reminder : IF you defund the police, they aren't going to come to rescue you !

It’s time or people to wean their use of TP. Think of all the poor trees that lose their life just to be flushed away.

But No. 1, 2 & 3.....is coffee, sugar and milk.

I do try to get out every day I can to exercise ME and my car.

I got mini moos last year as a gift from my daughter but go through them too fast. This year will freeze milk in a couple jars.

No TP? Anyone who has ever changed a baby’s cloth diaper knows how to use a wash rag for personal cleansing, then drop it in a container of bleach water and later into the laundry.

I know that it’s a security detail of the Washington State Patrol to guard the Governor’s mansion. I really hope that if Patriots do as you suggested, they go easy on the WSP folks. They are, by and large, really good people.

The rotten would-be Fuehrer inside the mansion....do what you want.

Yes he is, and as a resident of the state of Washington, I know. The “restrictions” also include visitors having to isolate themselves for 2 weeks before traveling to our State. I am hoping that this is over by Christmas, as my daughter and her family are slated to visit us at that time; and, I don’t think that they can do 2 weeks of isolation before they come here. They have a child, they have jobs. We haven’t seen them for a year, so I would actually like to see my daughter this year.

Last week, before this announcement, I was at Walmart and I walked past the TP aisle. We really didn’t need more at this time; but, something told me to grab a big package, just in case. A few days later, this announcement. So glad I followed my intuition.

“Gov. Jay Inslee on Sunday urged people not to hoard supplies.”

That freak is part of the fraud. Shame on him!! Doubtful that I’ll take advice from him.

We live near a dairy farm and can get milk from them.

Local eggs and honey can be had, too.
