I agree 100% I do get in trouble at times with I am about to say, so if you don't like it, sorry. When a person loads up on things as a way to be ready for what ever comes, (note I am talking about anything, and everything) it shows a lack of faith. We are told By Yeshua, in Mat. 24 (not a quote) that when the time comes we are flee to the mountains. Not to go inside to get anything. So if we follow the Word, how will you take it with you? Be hard to always carry 50 gallons of water. Add to that all the other things you have stored up.

Or water purification tablets and a well practiced fire source to boil water you find. Collecting rainwater can even serve in a pinch.
I'm sure there are plenty of guides on how to find non-visible water (like the signs in a rocky arid location to find where it collects typically). That sounds like reasonable preparation.
Certainly no one should count on their "stash" being accessible in the event of a true emergency.
Perhaps I'll consider a thread on this topic. This is the stuff few seem to even want to learn and it is hard by yourself and probably of limited utility if you aren't ever placed in such a situation but emergency preparedness (beyond supplies) does allow for a calmer engagement of serious situations I find.

Umm we're not talking about end times. We are talking about situations like COVID and now inflation, whoever you care to blame for that. The Bible also tells us to prepare for our families. I saw people around the country were hoarding and told my family to prepare. I don't want my parents out in a crowd fighting for food and needs. I told them to prepare for the holiday season too and went and got their needs taken care of. That's common sense. You want to go out and fight a crowd for tp, have at it. I believe the Lord gives us discernment and wisdom.

Nope, nothing wrong with that.
We have a large garden here in Florida year round.
We have many fruit trees.
We can a lot of stuff and eat it throughout the year, and for two people, we still spend around $700.00 a month.
I know, that's chicken feed for some, but we eat good healthy food.
We don't worry about anything.
It doesn't get us anywhere to worry.

I love FL !! Have visited several times and it's just beautiful. I think we did much better when we grew our own food and raised our own. I think the more we have to depend on the gov't the worse it is. Growing gardens, canning, quilting have been lost to the next generations. I would love to learn how to do that. My grandmothers died young so I didn't learn any of these things. I did manage to make some apple butter a couple years ago. I was pretty proud of myself. lol

Oh, that's so sad. I'd love to learn. I got a new sewing machine I'm trying to figure out. I wish I had someone to teach me. I guess I can learn online but a lot more fun to have someone teach you in a hands on way. I love to bake and cook but there is so much more I know I could learn. I got a late start in life but I sure do try to learn as much as I can. I was in my 40s when I married, for the first time. I wish my grandmothers could be here today and visit my home and teach me the things they knew. Sadly I lost them to cancer when I was in my teens.

This is so obvious why didn't anyone figure this out before? If there were no stores there would be no looting!

They are waiting for January 2022 for all prices to increase. There is hints of that now, but the full scale deliberations will begin in the new year. It’s been a long time coming, governments have just been holding the tide back. But, it’s not a time to stock up, but rather to trust the LORD even more than we have in the past. For the last several years our Father has been telling me and those around us to seek the kingdom of God now, and not seek how to survive. God has been incredible. I have never seen Him work so fast when a need arose, He would meet it every time.
For example, I was selling off a house that we didn’t need and it was becoming a burden. I asked Him to take care of it ASAP. The real estate agent came in, looked at the house and he said, “I grew up around here and I always loved this house, I will buy it right now”. THAT FLOORED ME. I was flabbergasted. I asked for $65,000, he offered $75,000, I ended up with $77,000. That was just two weeks ago and I am still reeling over how fast the LORD wanted us to be free from unnecessary things.
These are the days to trust Him in all things. We have been doing things our way for so long, now it’s time to ask and receive, seek and find, knock and doors open.
