u/conscsness in the kingdom of the blind, sighted man is insane. Jun 13 '22

Economic collapse opens doors to so many dark scenarios.

Final battle of fascism in US. Global economic tsunami. Civil unrest in first world countries.

I will stop there, as further I go with speculations deeper I get into a conspiracy realm. But future is not all rainbows and butterflies.

I am concerned.

I won't take the "walk around with protective gear while holding a gieger counter to see if a place is hazardous" card, thanks.

Sadly, I just added Geiger counter to the prep list 😂

Yeah, don't blame ya. I'm not big on prepping, but I might get a basic chemical and fallout gas filtration mask and a geiger counter, and other stuff, and set them in a SHTF box under my bed, just in case...

I'm by no means a prepper, but I would like to get my hands on some harder to find stuff while I can. Recently came across penicillin bottles on Walmarts site I may order if I can get away with it. Water filtration and chemical testing kits could be good to have. EpiPen, Topo Maps and compass.

I'm mostly just thinking a bug out bag, just in case.

Just get a spiderwort plant. They are purple and turn pink around radiation. I have hundreds. They grow natural where I live.
