You’re very fortunate.
We don’t live on our boat and I’d have to fuel her to move her. I know some coves in the San Juan Islands where we could meet up and hide out. ;>)
I am just worried with all this prep talk about WTSHTF, I fear I will be drinking all my cheap vodka before it actually happens )
Please don’t tease me.
That was one dream I never got to live. We have rented them for a couple weeks at a time, but “yes dear” wouldn’t let me sell everything to buy a large enough boat to live on, comfortably. What I have is better than nothing, but she needs fuel and I find sailboats just plain sexy.
If that is yours, you are very fortunate and you have my envy.
Oh to be young again.
Tobacco (I don’t smoke BTW), alcohol are good to stock up on because they have good barter value. Antibiotics and narcotics (if you’re in the medical field) would also have considerable value.
People with skills using radios would be essential for transactions.
I think they’re short on onions. Don’t under estimate their importance in making most things tasty.
The first time the neighbors come over asking for food they will be nice. The second time not so much. These people need a lobotomy.
You’re one lucky Skipper.

I had a taste of that in Georgia when I was in the Army. We bought some home in Mason jars. :)
Unless you live in a valley with a single access you can dynamite or bridge that can be blown, it won’t be any prettier in the country.
I give kudos on that plan !
Gah, my stash was lost after I moved. I wish I still had it.
Cheers!
I have nothing. I am totally unprepared. I have never owned a gun. I am defenseless. I am a pacifist.
“Next to go in is bulk cut tobacco and rolling papers.”
That’s what I’m doing. Thinking of things people will want a week, two weeks, ten weeks after a collapse.
I had a friend from post WWII Italy. His family in the US gave up on sending them stuff and would travel to his family with gifts. He said one of the most valuable things his family would bring him from the US were sewing needles. They were not manufactured, not imported and stolen quickly as everyone was desperate to repair the clothes they had.
It’s little cheap things like that I try to think of.
If you want to stock something that folks WILL kill for, get some anti depressants. The withdrawal from that stuff is going to make folks go crazy. Literally.
They need more potty paper...and salt.
Without any weapons, how to they expect to keep it for a year?
Let these two be a lesson.
The media just ratted these two out.
Doesn’t matter how much prepping they have done.
When the shtf, they are done.
