Prepping count down T minus 8 days

A week from tomorrow is the dead line for voting.

Many of us have already voted either early at the courthouse or absentee [in accordance with local laws]. In many places you can vote early up to the day before the regular election. IF you have not already voted – get it in gear and get R done! All the indicators are that there will be ISSUES at polling places on Election Day and after generally.

This week by Thursday stock up on what you need for the next few weeks so that you don’t HAVE to go out for stuff. ON Thursday this week top up all your vehicles with petrol.

Here is one of the VERY few times we will talk about firearms for self defense—according to news reports firearm sales this fall have hit record numbers – even more so than the last 12 years. Make of that what you will.

For this weekend and the week of the election pretend and prep as if it is going to be a week [or more] long blizzard. So get fresh milk and bread, make sure you have eggs. Now is a good time to get a few extra packages of butter. Get whatever drinks and snacks you will want for the next several weeks. you may as well get most of what you will need for Thanksgiving which is a month away.

As I type this it is 6 degrees F outside and we are starting to dig out of a winter storm- roads are very slick and the traffic is jammed up such that EMS just called dispatch to cancel the fire dept response as the fire trucks would not fit between the stalled vehicles. Official reports are that we got 14 inches of snow this last weekend.

By now you should have your plans in place for communicating with family and friends. Charge up your devices and test your back up systems. You may want to add another fire extinguisher to your fire fighting/escape plan.
