We are now just over two weeks away from the United States election. It's getting spicier and spicier! Take this time to pick up preps, check for holes in your preps, plan for water purification and rainwater catchment, fuel/ energy, home defense etc.

At the end of this report, I'm going to ask you to think of prep items outside the box. Like the fuel siphon. Maybe people aren't thinking about it and we can help each other. Don't mention what you have just recommendations. :) Always be gray. Blend in. First rule of prep club...nobody talks about prep club.
Go through the following articles and videos to get an idea how the current and future supply chain might be affected.
Beyond the election, war, weather, outages, cyber attacks... we also have the port strike coming back on January 15th. I promise that being prepared as best as you are able will relieve so much of the stress.
