I got some Mayday rations. 5 year shelf life. Link to the ones I bought and out in my pack:
Post what you bought if you did. I don't know nothing about medical shyt. Especially antibiotics.
This worries me the most. My son is a type-1 diabetic so my ex and I have been getting as much extra insulin as we can just in case. I’m going to get a small indoor generator with enough power to power the small fridge I have to keep the insulin cool. I read an article one time about a young French woman during WW1 who kept a pig in her yard and extracted insulin from its pancreas whenever needed. I wouldn’t even know how to go about doing that. Scary to think about.
Got to be prepared for that too. That element will definitely be there. Some people will have a killed or be killed mentality.Only survivalism I need to know is how to shoot a nikka that got what I want
I'm still learning---there is a lot of expensive kits you can spend an arm and leg on and 70% of the stuff I wouldn't even know how to use.

I looked into ham radio a while ago and got sent this website. It has study guides and another things if you want to get a license for it: KB6NU's Ham Radio BlogA few organizations to join for Black preppers.
A few ideas on organizations to network with that may come useful in a disaster situation
NAAGA - National African-America Gun Association - Many local chapters for gun training and networking
OMIK - the Black ham radio organization. No local chapters but there is a members directory.
Black Farmers Index - not really to join for a large directory of Black farmers nationwide
Black Farmers Index
Black Farmers United NYS - network of Black farmers in New York State. Good to make friends before you need them
Black Farmers United NYS
If you are a ham radio operator, know the frequency of the local ARES/RACES emergency net so you can listen in during emergencies

Paywall - can you paste it in here?The Preppers Were Right All Along
Once the domain of end-of-timers and right-wing radicals, the survivalist mindset is pushing into the mainstream thanks to rising climate-change disasters and civil unrest.
