On Panic buying

[Proud Prepper]

Somebody forgot to say something about calcium hypochorite...you can add it to water very slowly, BUT NEVER ADD WATER TO THE DRY CHEMICAL!!! If you dump it into water slowly, it will be diluted and poses no problems. If you add water into the chemical, it will EXPLODE: big time boom. I learned how to use it with salt to make my own type of plastic which is 1.3 times stronger than dynamite...
****it is also used as a "MMS 2"*** in capsules to take like any other tablet, Brent will explode if he reads this,

MMS 2: Miracle Mineral Solutions 2
Miracle Mineral Solutions 2 MMS2 (Hypochlorous acid) acts in a different manner. It destroys microorganisms by carrying oxygen to the microorganism and then the oxygen destroys the organism. Of course, once the Hypochlorous acid delivers the oxygen, the destruction is the same. The oxygen pulls off the electrons that hold the pathogen’s skin together.

Miracle Mineral Solutions MMS1 and MMS2 are chemicals that the human immune system has been using for hundreds of thousands of years. There are thousands of research papers that explain that and it has been known for more than 50 years.

I encourage everyone to do their own research and look at who wrote the articles. Never take one story to heart without researching it.

That's a true SHTF event if this starts happening all across the country.

I don't see people going to crazy around here,at least I hope they don't but I have a mixed bag of about 2500 rds on hand I might add to it,,,,,,,,,,,I also need to stock up a little more on Grocery's ,,,,,,I hope this does not disrupt my work ,,,,,,,,,,

I don't worry about myself so much as I worry about what someone else might do

My husband was telling me more about his adventures of shopping yesterday at a couple of different Walmarts. He said people were there in e middle of the day wearing dress business clothes. Like they had left work to shop. It was odd.
That evening we went to Kroger, It had been hit hard! People not just buying toilet paper and hand sanitizer stuff, but actual food. Lots of empty refrigerated sections of vegetables and other frozen foods severely depleted.
There was a long ( about 12 feet) open refrigerator bay that was filled with chicken. Only 2 left when I got there.
We then went to Tom Thumb ( expensive store that people only go to for 1 or 2 items).
They had stuff, but you could tell plenty of people in there buying things. The shelves were not 100% stocked as they usually are. By the end of Saturday, I bet they will look like Walmart.

Last night my wife wanted a couple items so we stopped by Target on the way home from work. No crowds. Lots of TP and cleaning supplies. No Clorox or Lysol wipes but many other Clorox and Lysol items. Shelves are well stocked and there was no panic. This is in Raleigh, NC in working class neighborhood. This morning wifey, wanted to add some additional groceries, just in case. Went to Food Lion and got lots of canned and dried items. Shelves fully stocked (with the exception of TP and bottled water).

Not panic here, YET.

Just get a bit every day to not panic or look like a panic. Just buy slow and prep. GP

We have about three gallons (24 pints) of full cream milk in the freezers along with a gallon of UHT long life milk in the store room.

My only "panic" buying has been hay for the cattle. I ran short by about 20 ton for this winter. I figure that I'll be feeding for another 10 weeks or so. We're starting to get some bare ground now but we're still a couple months away from getting any grass to feed the cows.
My wife sent me a shopping list this morning of things that we need. It won't hurt to stock up more on some things I guess.

I bought an 18 pack of organic shelf stable milk at Costco. Comes in individual little cartons with a straw attached,like a juice box. Use by date isn't until mid June.

I have about 4 large bags of powered milk for emergencies. I’ve been scared to try it though. Have a feeling it will taste like crap. In an emergency crap is ok, jus not for normal days....

Grocery stores here are busy but managing to stay in stock mostly. TP is low and hand sanitizer are non existent but most things are ok. I have stopped going out allready but my guys do a lot of service work in grocery stores and are keeping me informed. This covers the Atlanta area and an hour around it or so.

I hear you! Mine was for farm animals too! Plus dog food. We’ve got a big one who can really put it away. LOL

I will be going to the feed store to get some feed just in case TRUCKING is interrupted I want a months supply for the hounds

 

[DrPrepper1]

Does anyone have an idea of how long it might take for stores to get restocked?
I remember we discussed on here once that if there was an emergency that there is about 3 days supply of food in the store.

Stores are mostly cleared out, but trucks are still operating. How much do you think there is stored in the warehouses?

If the stock gets depleted from the warehouse, how long might it take to actually get items on the shelves considering the current circumstances we are under?
