It is telling that so many people – mostly non-preppers – are stocking up before Tuesday. There are news reports of militia and “patriot groups” that are standing by ready to act should Trump lose. I think that is a bit alarmist, however, should there be significant evidence of voter fraud activity should be expected. Regardless of the outcome of the election, many have shown that it takes little to riot, loot, steal, and commit acts of violence. Those stocking up have watched what has happened in 2020.
News is reporting massive increases in COVID cases as well. Europe is experiencing its own influx of cases and many areas are beginning to shut down their economies again.
Uncertainty promotes anxiety and in some cases panic. If you’re reading this you are likely squared away, at least for whatever may occur as a result of the election.
Are you seeing empty shelves in your area? In some of the forums I visit I’m seeing reports of supplies out of stock both in the store and online. Ammunition continues to be in very short supply. Reloading supplies also hard to find.
The election is a few days away. While the election and the results of it are concerning – the true events to plan for is likely at least a couple of years away. Prep. Prep some more. Food, water, defense, medical, knowledge – make it happen.
Make it happen.
