New Lock down Preparations

What type of items and supplies should you be stockpiling in preparation for new lockdowns/emergencies? What should you be doing with money in order to be ready?

This plus olive oil and lots of vitamins along with other OTC medicines and first aid supplies

I have enough freeze dried/emergency food for a few months, plus what we have in normal food supplies including a good amount of canned goods. Water storage (currently empty) and purification tablets.

Have a few more guns than trigger fingers, lots of ammo. A good amount of first aid supplies too - in an evacuation/emergency scenario this is useful or valuable to others.

Bought a bidet so don't have to worry about toilet paper much anymore.

Start with 72 hours for you and anyone else in your family (dont forget pets)

I've read that 2 weeks is enough to survive 99% of disasters.

At this point I have a few months worth so am prepared for everything except the utter collapse of society. Unless you can dedicate a large amount of time and resources (including choosing where you live etc around it) that's as far as the average person can prepare imo.

Protein bars, nuts, chocolate, canned food, dried rice and beans. Everyone should have an emergency water container that can fit in a bathtub. Iodine and sawyer water bottles are musts too.

And of course guns and ammo.

Did you install a 5000gal water tank in your back yard so it will work when all utilities are gone in this dystopian future?

I've been thinking of getting into archery both as a hobby and for practical reasons (like in case society collapses). While I own a gun, I've wondered what I'd do if I ran out of ammo. I don't think I'd be able to make my own bullets.

But arrows OTOH ...

Same. A decent bow isn't too expensive. It'd also be a LOT cheaper than a day at the range.

I don't have room but my in-laws are on a ton of land, maybe I can leave a target at their place? Also:

Sounds like you need more ammo

I have a five gallon bucket of mixed beans and a 2 pound can of dehydrated eggs as a final reserve.

Otherwise, I always have at least 30 days worth of food I normally eat.

I prepare as much as is feasible, but the reality of the situation is I am the big bad wolf and leftist wokies are grandmas house if chit goes bad, because they are to blame and they must reap what they have sown. I see one of those lawn signs saying how I should support blm or lbstiwqbhewn and thats my first stop.

Good idea you can reuse arrows, and you can even get a crossbow!

If all we are talking about is lockdowns, then the government will likely subsidize us again. So the things you need to stock up on is entertainment, gym equipment, books, video games, maybe lumber for a project in the back yard. That kind of thing.

If we are talking about further supply chain disruptions, societal collapse, SHTF scenarios then yea probably food, water and protection

They're not going to do any more lockdowns. They can accomplish the economy-crashing goal with money printing and the virtue signaling goal with vaccines.
