1-Year Grid Down Prep

Food safe pool shock. Mix your bleach as you need it.

Do you have a favorite brand? How do you know if it's food safe?

I just realized that I had a great faraday cage in my garage - an old all metal file cabinet.

Antibiotics.

You can get a good range of them from amoxicillin to Cipro from pet stores. Their sold as fish antibiotics but are the same thing and made to pretty high standards from US manufacturers.

China makes most of the APIs (Active Pharmaceitical Ingredients) for generic and name brand drugs. And they do make some generic meds.
Most of the generic meds sold in US are made in India, but even their APIs comes from China.
Edit. Same for supplements, like Turmeric and Elderberry. Raw supply comes from China. We allowed China to become the only source for too many of life's neccessaties.

We put a Bison Pump on our well.

I looked at the Bison website, and I didn't see prices listed. Mind it I ask what a person might expect to pay just for the bison equipment?

We paid around $1600.00 to pump water from I think, 50 ft.

"Simple Pump" is less money, I think.

Buy a flat of your favorite canned meat or soups every trip to the store along with a case of water and all other necessary food and daily care items little by little.
That stuff adds up and you’ll be happy what you have when the store shelves are bare after a day or two.
Only then will you be wishing you would have gotten these things when they’re no
longer available.

Firewood , get choppin.
