Locked Down in Los Angeles

[BugOutHive]

Hello All,

I look forward to becoming an active member on the forum now since it’s looking like we’ll be told to stay home for the better part of a year. My wife and I have been kicking ourselves for the last week because we put off prepping until after our move, and we just moved to a different part of the city at the beginning of March. As a result, we had to ninja through stores at 5am to avoid crowds, and still not find what we need; even worse, pay for goods at a premium (I’m cheap)! We weren’t totally without the basic necessities, but would’ve been nice to have been stocked up before the madness. Anyways, nice to e-meet you all, since e-meeting is about the most we can do for a while.

Glad you were able to get some supplies. Always worried me about being in a large city and competing for limited resources in any emergency. Stay safe and let us know what the conditions are there.

I was homeless as a teen and have counted my pennies ever since. When you go out to get things, don't be too tight. You will be sorry when you get home.

Besides, the things you buy today may be tomorrow's currency.

I'd hate to be trapped in that ******** even during the best of times. Good luck. And welcome to the forum.

I have been thinking of this a lot. I'm one of those people who went out before it became big news in my area and bought a bunch of those things no one can find now. I tried to tell other people and they didn't listen. . .

Good gosh BugOutHive, hope you can get caught up without going bankrupt. I also would have moved, but not without all my preps...you have lots of things here to read and write down... have fun and welcome. GP
