The Warning Signs Are Everywhere
Empty shelves used to be rare. Now they’re just part of the background noise. Delays, shortages, and “out of stock” notices are no longer the exception—they’re the new normal.
In Episode 404, we’re talking about what’s breaking down globally, what it means for you, and what you should be buying and stockpiling right now before it gets even worse.
This isn’t fearmongering. It’s reality. And it’s speeding up.
Why Supply Chains Are Breaking
What You Should Be Buying Right Now
Grains, beans, rice, oats, flour, canned goods, powdered milk, cooking oils, honey, salt, and sugar. Focus on shelf-stable, calorie-dense, and versatile foods.
Filters, purification tablets, water storage containers. Water is life—and municipal supplies aren’t as bulletproof as you think.
Bandages, antiseptics, over-the-counter medications, antibiotics (if legally sourced), vitamins, and feminine hygiene products. Shortages are already hitting pharmacies.
Propane, kerosene, wood, solar chargers, batteries (especially rechargeable ones). If you can’t cook or stay warm, you’re in trouble fast.
Hand tools, fasteners, duct tape, sewing kits, sharpening stones. If you can’t fix what you have, you’ll be stuck paying double or doing without.
Quality boots, durable outerwear, thermal layers, gloves. Forget fashion—go for rugged and practical. Repairs and replacements are getting pricier by the month.
If you have land (or even a balcony), seeds are an investment. Focus on fast-growing, high-yield, non-GMO seeds.
Bonus: What NOT to Waste Money On
Final Thoughts
The cracks in the system aren’t going away. They’re widening. The time to act is before the next wave of shortages, not during the panic rush afterward.
Start small if you need to. Pick up an extra bag of rice. A few more water filters. A box of bandages. It adds up faster than you think.
Preparedness isn’t panic—it’s prudence.
So stock up now. Tighten up your systems. And be the one who’s ready while others are still hoping things “go back to normal.”
