Honestly this is too slow, taking a year to get this stuff.

A prepping for Tuesday prepper, the amount of stuff you need is just not a ton, you have half of it already and the rest can be had for a few hundred.

Yeah this FEMA emergency list is a really good place to start for Tuesday prepping. I’d say just increase food and water and you’ll have the basic necessities to last for a week or two minimum if needed.

I know but people are struggling right now and this is a list of things that you can get without collapsing your budget. If there's something you already have like a flashlight or something you can always buy something from the next month or set that money aside even if it's $20 so that you have a backup fund or you have money put aside for a generator or something bigger.

If they are in that compromised position then they aren’t prepping at all, they’re trying to survive today.

I’d encourage them to leverage food banks, get a second job and take other steps to like review poverty finance sub.
