What's up guys ? I'm new to prepping and wanted to make part of a community to be able do discuss and learn from you all. As many of the new members, the recent world wide events were the main cause of my desire to being prepared.

Hope you guys are doing well.

Welcome from Raccoon City. Maybe you can keep us abreast of things in Brazil?

rsrs, maybe. I should prepare your guys staying first. But let me ask, how has been your guys preparation ? Are you waiting for a specific event or not ?
 
Thank u :). What you want to know about Brazil’s situation ? Regarding the war ?

Regarding how Brazilians dealt with the recession you had. Didn’t know about the war. Internal war or Ukraine? I’m always curious how others have managed successfully to provide for themselves during the roughest of times. We are on the precipice now in the US. Did you take the ClotShot?

What Dani most likely meant was that if you haven’t already started prepping, you really have a long way to go.

WM welcome to the site . As to world events they be many. Some do say the whole world just be a stage with many puppets on a string . How to be in the world and not to be part of the world requires much spiritual enlightenment and not just a 6 shooter. I’m sure you shall find much here to help you along the way.

Nice !

1-There is no war in Brazil, I was talking about Ukraine. This war in Europe is also feared here, since the whole world is afraid of a WW3 starting there. About the COVID here I can say the following : Every one in my family got it; I've lost an aunt to this disease; Yes, I've took the vaccine, first and second dose and developed 0 symptons neither from the vaccine nor from COVID (If I ever got it). Our governors managed very badly the pandemic and people and economy felt it. Everything is more expensive in the supermarket.

There is a particular event that scared me right in the very beginning of lock down. I went downtown to buy regular hospitalar masks and each mask was 10x more expensive and lacking is some pharmacies. I could not buy as much as I needed. At the same day I was reading the news about lacking of medication in the pharmacies of my city and even lack of toilet paper in supermarkets.. No one knew what to expect and anxiety makes you think always in the worst case scenario.

I've dealt with pandemic as everyone. Staying at home (I live in the capital of my state), using hospitalar masks, using alcohol spray and that's it.

The recession is stil happening.

2-Regarding the crash course, I don't have much time. I work two jobs and I'm planning to start a company. The few I'm learning I'm already putting in practice, even though not in the ideal way.

Let me know how has been your preparation and how you dealt with recession in USA.

Thank u very much for your kind words.
 
Yep, you have a lot to learn and to do in order to get set up and ready since you said you are new to prepping.

How has been your preparation? I know it varies from place to place, living site, whether, etc.. Please let me know what you prioritize.

So I waited until I could get on the big computer to answer. . . First off my concerns are water, food and shelter in that order. For years we just lived by a canal that we could filter if need be and then during heavy rains we have a few creeks that run thru our property, but in case all these were to stop, we drilled a well a few years ago. Now when we lose electricity, that would no longer be an option, so we have put in a Generac with a 500 gallon propane tank to run if we do lose the grid and just recently are in the process of installing solar panels, which will be able to run the whole house. This should cover my water supplies when adding in extra precautions like boiling or filtering.

As for food, we normally produce as in raise or grow the majority of what we eat. I do buy basics like flour and sugar, but I do have plans on what I could use instead of that can be harvested in the wild like acorns or grown like sugar cane around here. I do have quite a bit stored that can easily last us a long while. What I grow out of the garden we eat fresh and the excess I will preserve with either canning, dehydrating, freezing or freeze drying. You never want to rely on just one way to preserve. We also raise cows, pigs and goats. We used to have chickens but they were attacked and we never got more. We do get fresh eggs from the middle son who raises a few now.

As for shelter, we have made our home as self sufficient as we can right now. All 4 boys families plan to come here in a SHTF scenario and we also have some close friends and all have benefits so will be very welcomed.

Now in your situation, you may have to figure out how things will be. I don't know your situation. You said you live in the capital of your state so not sure if you would really want to stay there in a true SHTF scenario, but maybe if it was a short term natural disaster? Maybe you would need to look for a BOL in order to stay safe??
