Water, can food,don’t forget your pets requirement.

Two days later the Albo government no crisis.
The next day the Albo government announced we were in a crisis.

Today they have announced it’s officially a emergency..

What odds will you give me by the end of the week Australia is facing a disaster that the Australian people saw coming except labor’s Bowen and Albo?

Medicine , seek your script be filled asap because that is going to run short very quickly and the limited supply we have in Australia will, of course be preference to politicians and the ultra rich.

Buy and stock up now!
If an Australian politicians tells you not worry.

Worry and run and buy double what you need!

He's earned himself a corner at least. Can he goal from it, probably not, beyond taking a swan dive for a penalty shot to compensate for failure.

I'm Gaean
He's Gay'n.

A very wide margin of difference. Not my fault he's a moron who sees unicorns from actual horses, because he had a dildo on his rocking horse's head as a kid.

I made a whole lot of soffritto tonight, put them in small air tight vac sealed bags and in the freezer ready for the bottled tomato passata I made 2 weeks ago.
Good to keep for many months for survival.
Next I make mirepoix.
But tomorrow, as I have many organic quinces, (I’ve made jam earlier this week) I will then make quince jelly.

That’s next on my shopping list to store in pantry Grin

But food shortage/famine would/could create a desperate enemy within….
I have a night scope, better we take the enemy by surprise rather than they take us by surprise.
I would get Jasin to do the night shift watch ….
Or as they say, keep friends close, and enemies closer, if would-be enemies still have a bit of reasoning above their desperation, I would convince them to join in for a home cooked meal, and then to decide about making better decisions on a full tummy.
We need chores done, so as we were told stories long ago from hubby’s mum on farm, back during war time, people would come to beg for work all day just to have a meal and a little tin shed to sleep in.
I recall seeing all the little pickers huts back in my youth with stories about it.

Would it be the same nowadays as was back then? Or is honesty, integrity and bartering a lost art?

We've got off-grid power from solar and batteries, enough to at least keep the freezer going. Got a few high‑capacity portable power stations that have their own pannels or can be charged from the rooftop solar, a generator with about a weeks worth of fuel and food and water, including the doggos, for about 3-4 weeks.

Being a family of campers plus having to ensure some wild storms and a week+ without power a few years back, we've had this prep and a plan to cycle out the food etc so it doesn't spoil and go to waste in place for a while now.

I don't feel like we've put any stress on those who need supplies now, which is about as far as my consideration for others is capable of going at the moment.

Any collapse longer than what we can handle that and we'd have to find some way to get back to the farm, which if things look like they're going to go south to that extent, that fuel for the genny will probably be used to head out west rather than stay here.

I'm still changed from COVID in that while I would have helped all my neighbours if needed, after the realisation that even asking people to wear a mask was too much of an inconvience for them at the time and living in QLD, they'd openly mock you if you did yourself, I'm still not in a generous frame of mind to help people I don't know, not anymore.

The masses have proved themselves unworthy.

Should I feel the need to help someone in dire need, I would first need to find out, if at all possible, if they supported the sort of ideology that led to Trump inflicting this on all of us. If they did, they can suffer the consequences of what they supported.

I will not lose a second of sleep over it, not anymore.

I'm glad I didn't get rid of any of my rifles yet either.

A little perhaps, but this Caralluma Fimbriata will help a lot! To reduce hunger pangs/appetite control….it’s what some used during war in different countries for more militant endurance and making food rations last longer.

There is no need for panic if you take intelligent action.

A couple of tin food added to your weekly shop is neither very expensive or going to create a panic buy.

While I appreciate the use of gas cooking is almost illegal in Australia ( interestingly we can export it through) fill up your bbq gas bottles and camping equipment.

While I wish this new war will end tomorrow I personally prefer to plan a CNN little more long term.

Easter is here. A very long and cold winter awaits.

Our fuel supply is just short of being crippled.

Our electricity supply is anyone’s guess.

Prepare for winter.

Find a axe and firewood.

Albo nor Angus will go without this winter but you might.

A total collapse of the power grid and the internet for , say , months and I would think most Australians would be dead.

We have constructed a society that is just too fragile.

Interesting that Russia and the USA are food and energy self sufficient.

We should be and we are very stupid that we are not.

In a globalised world we would lose all our technology very quickly.

Back to what faced governor Phillip in Sydney Cove.

Worse probably as he had a skilled workforce and he still needed resupply for decades.

I think having a Nuremberg type suicide pill 💊 is something to consider.

When you get stabbed in the belly by a mob who then eat your horse. You don't want to lie there for 5 days slowly dying of septicaemia
