The Importance of Prepping - Supply List

We are being frequently warned by the Biden Administration, that food shortages "are gonna be real". We have also been warned of possible cyber attacks that may take down our power grid. Someone seems to be helping the food shortages along, with the burning down of 17 food processing plants since the first of the year. We also have farmers being paid not to grow crops, and supply chain problems in delivering food to our stores and restaurants. It makes sense to make preparations and prepare for a possible catastrophe that we hope will never really happen.
