What should we buy now - looking 18 months in the future?

Add guitar strings and we’ll have a party.

I've been upgrading my off grid solar power system. Buy solar panels and batteries.

That's a good idea

The time to ask this question was at the beginning of the Covid outbreak.

If you made it this far, then you're on the up and up and out of the woods.

I don't think most of you understand what just happened, and the sheer amount of VICTIMS.

Just remember in life there is always someone bigger!

Books on how to forage food, plants, mushrooms, medicinal medicines.
Fishing rods and accessories
Learn how to skin an animal
Bow and extra arrows (learn how to use them)
Water filters

My advice is that if you're in a legal state, buy some weed and a bag of coffee and enjoy your newfound freedom.

I'm expecting Amsterdam Style very chill coffee houses in the near future too, but they might require an annual membership due to the nature of our country.

For those MJ naysayers, go look at the quality of the Amsterdam operations, and compare it to the very best pubs in the world, in the most advanced countries.

Your pub/bars says everything about you. We can deduce using this method that the Scottish are far more advanced than we are, and so are many others.

We're getting there though.

Super cool

Look around the house and see what you need i stocked up on fertilizer for the plants

Whats ur pronouns bud?

Yeah, cuz "plenty of trash bags" are a in the top ten on a prepper list.

Yep, that's why I bought the solar generators to use initially -- no noise.

And I plan to hunker down for 90 days. That's about all it will take, and then we pillage.

;-)

Canning supplies. The price of jars keeps going up and up. And extra dome lids. Get them now. If you wait until canning season you may not find them.

I am shopping for a new pressure canner. Looking for recommendations if anyone has any. Not electric.

If the power goes out for a while I can live like it's the 19th century. Not fun, but I know how to do it.

Firewood will be the most important. Hopefully folks have their woodstoves in working order. I have two. One is a cook stove.

I've seen this coming for decades.

A farm,fast horse,big knife,long rifle.

This is actually a commodity that we've stocked up on - weed.

A friend of mine did a stint in the county jail and came out swearing that drugs, instant coffee packets, and Snicker's bars would be the most valuable trading items during an apocalypse.

Made sense, so it being legal in our state, we started growing and stocking up. I also bought cases and cases of instant coffee packets, sugar packets, and creamer packets. Tobacco and cheap liquors also.

If all else fails, we'll have one hell of a party on our way out!

You're selling your children already? And for 10 tons of hay? How many kids do you have, anyway?

In A SHTF scenario

you don't pay your rent you will be dragged da fuck out LOLZ

Whatever you use or consume everyday, today, you're gonna wanna stock up on now.

The hyperinflation is real. The more you buy in bulk now of the things you'll always need or consume the more money you'll save yourself in the long run.

snickers do have an expiry date bud

Really depends on the style and what's happening.

Civil war, people raiding other peoples houses for supplies, or shit is just too expensive to live. Each situation requires different needs.

1 tent
3 chickens
5 seeds

Do you even read bro? Here is the OP's quote and what he was asking in this thread...

"We all see the writing on the wall.
Which products or items will see the highest inflation?
What could we buy now, to save 18 months down the line?"


Pay particular attention to the bolded sentence^^^ then maybe ask yourself how does my smart assed insignificant comment even pertain to this thread!

Just get a big Presto canner.

Yep. Get solar. Get used panels from eBay or another source and plan to be generating your own power. It will be cost prohibitive to buy it from the grid in a couple years... plus, it will be unreliable.

If you buy a car, washing machine, tv etc get the extended warranty for as long as you can. If it breaks down you won’t be able to replace it or get parts when China and other countries are locked out. If you can afford to buy 2 of everything you will need for next 10 years.

Get 10 years worth of all non perishables, soap, toilet paper, razors, shampoo, laundry detergent etc.

Get seeds. Vegetables, tomatoes etc. fertilizer, vertical garden planters (you can stack the 3 plant holders from dollar store)
Gun bullets and a cross bow. Cross bow is great for hunting rabbits, dear, ducks etc and you don’t run out of ammo.

Clothes, shoes, glasses, pots, pans everything you will need to replace. Also buy CDs records DVDs etc you will get bored and no one can afford Spotify or Netflix.

Generator and wood burner, kerosene heaters, wood/ charcoal bbq, blankets it is going to get cold and you need to stay warm and cook. If you can get a power wall that will run your place without electricity for 24 hours when they have rolling blackouts. (Either a stack of 20+ old lead acid batteries or are f you have the money NICADs but they are pricy and a lot of work. You don’t want your freezer to cut out.

Coffee

Chocolate

Sugar

Flour

Grains

Beans

Booze, hard liquor, wine, beer

Paper products

Light bulbs

Pharmacy stuff, personal hygiene, pain killers etc etc

I have an old Presto. Or something similar. I need to upgrade.

se are doing the following:
1. making sure the weapons we have on hand are optimized: adding in night vision, suppressors, and upgrading sights and such to make sure our go to guns are the most reliable and as effective as they can be.
2. FOOD, we are raising chickens for meat and eggs
3. security, we are improving the security around the homestead. Fencing, gates, dogs, keeping the area around the housse free or cover and concealment
4. Energy storage: Toping off the propane tanks, adding in solar power, topping off fuel reserves
5. communication: making sure all radios are all working, ADDING backup power to the repeater, running nightly radio NETS on local PrePPER designated channels so the COMMUNITY SKILLS so not get stale.
support my local preppers as much as possible to continue to build community.

the stuff I"m buying is prioritized to the list above

I'm thinking about buying a bunch of alchol for barter purposes
