In commemoration of the end of National Preparedness Month (September) called by our Dear Leader,
Presidential Proclamation--National Preparedness Month, 2010 | The White House
and to assess the readiness of individuals/families to function in times of deprivation, I challenge each INGO prepper to the following:
1. For 10 days, do not purchase anything.
2. All the things you use or consume must come from your stores, or be made by you. No borrowing (they would need their own stuff should SHTF).
3. Since 1. is most likely not completely possible, especially if one continues to go to work and function "normally" (not in full Def Con mode) during this period, all purchases must be:
a. minimal, only as necessary
b. carefully recorded
4. At the end of the experiment, report back on this thread your learnings, i.e. what did you not have? How can you prep better?
5. No "banking" inventory before you get started, just begin on Oct 01.
Remember this is only for 10 days (longer if you'd like), and some disasters will be >10 days, and TEOTWAWKI is forever.
No whining or rule mods, just do it and report back.
P.S. Bet you'll run out of toilet paper before you run out of ammo...
