I just bought 20 pound bags of bread flour, sugar, and all purpose flour. Plus what I have in my chest freezers I’m good for a few months..
Not joking

Be sure to keep the flour as cold and dry as possible. Refrigerate or freeze if possible. You can sift out grain beetles and larva, but they're very allergenic and the more exposure you get to them the higher the chance you'll develop a severe allergy.

My wife and I decided that if it gets that bad..
We won't
I'm betting on Oregon not completely shitting the bed
Losing weight, building up endurance. Saving "money".
Won't you miss that extra body fat when it's cold and there's nothing to eat?
Might also put more actual meat on your bones, which is a risk. A lot of people are more into Filets vs. like a Ribeye, for example.
Easier to hunt meat as meat, than as fat.
Realizing that each human life encompasses a time-space span of generally double digit years and miles. Further that a good life is good but a good death is superior to a bad life. Death is inevitable but it is a choice to "experience" the apocalypse.
but a good death is superior to a bad life.
But that's apples and oranges. You could theoretically have both? The good death doesn't really offset the bad life? It's not as cool-sounding, but I think "a good death is superior to a bad death" and "a good life is superior to a bad life" are still pretty much true, if technically subjective.
life and death just is and it does not matter if death is good or bad given its nature. Lifes quality though is important and if it does not have enough of it then I will have none of it. Im old enough though that im not looking to survive a horrible decade of facism. Surviving auschwitz if your young enough to possibly enjoy some decades of decentness afterwards is one thing but if your old enough that after that experience you are left with nothing and have to try and "retire" and look after your increasingly failing health. Ill skip that.
Not American but from EU, have a 3 day survival box with water and food.
There is a real chance Russia at some point attacks, I don't think they will drop a nuke any time. But they might try to sabotage the electricity network or financial system. So if a large (cyber) attack happens my family has enough for 3 days, a week if we have to.
Solar power with battery storage, hunting and fishing for meat, gardening for vegetables, rain barrels for water.
I've achieved full nihilism. Nothing makes a man more capable of vicious self defense.
The o'l "can't threaten a man with nothing to lose" gambit.
