I just got done watching this live one minute ago. Terrific !

Things don't look good from my part of the world here, neither the rest of the world!

8,597,407 current Covid-19 cases and soaring, pope endorsing same sex unions, messy US elections, wars, occupations, hurricanes, floods, fires, terrorisms, many psychos going nuts all over the world and many many more shites going on, the entire world is so f*cked up.

I've watched TWD up to Season 7, Outbreak, Virus and other end of the world movies , more than enough to educate me on how to be prepared for the apocalypse.

They say get out of the city as soon as you can, with collapsed economy and useless government, supermarkets and food suppliers will be looted, find a quiet place near some water source and with fertile lands so you can plant and become self reliant. I'm surrounded by desserts here, f*ck!!! closest source of water to me is the Dead Sea, too salty for the fish to survive so I guess, I won't be going anywhere else.

First sensible thing to do is hoard bottled waters and foods, canned, dehydrated foods , pulses , medicines, yes some Xanax would be handy, disinfectant, sterile wipes and lots of tissues ??? Good thing, I've started collecting some this.

A couple of days ago, I found myself submerging some carrots in the water, hoping to see some roots in the next few days or so. I'm planning to plant them in a big pot so I will at least have my own source of carrots when the supply finally runs out. I'm thinking maybe I can plant some potatoes in the big pots too ? I'm getting some herbs this weekend and some bok choy cabbage & tomatoes would be nice. I have a little place here with good access to sunlight so I think it's time to use it wisely.

I have yet to prepare a bug out bag. I was checking online on what essentials should be in my bug out bag and below are what they listed :
Water, Water treatment method: Such as a filter,water purification tabs, etc.
Tent or tarp or sleeping bag, survival food such as protein bars or MREs, some canned foods
matches stored in a water proof container, first aid kit
Self-defense weapon, have no firearms but I have pepperspray and some kitchen knives so I will be armed to the teeth. Hygiene kit, change of clothes, rain jacket, boots, paracord and ropes, heavy duty gloves, face mask, Emergency light, flashlight, chemical lights…
Cash: At least $50 is recommended
Compass and maps , I have a messed up sense of direction so I don't think this would help me.
Survival stove and cook set, folding shovel, trash bags, spare batteries, duck tape
Charging kit, best would be the portable solar power bank. and some cards for entertainment

Just thinking of those listed items, I can already feel the heavy weight of my bug out bag

well another survivalist recommended condoms, lots of it, featherweight, ultracompact and durable, condoms (nonlubricated, please) can be used as a makeshift canteen to store water, a fire starter or as elastic bands for an improvised slingshot to hunt small game

Better to be prepared than sorry

Any other suggestions ?
