Also can someone explain to me the TP thing? I mean, I suppose I would understand if it was viral dysentery, but last I checked TP isn’t a mandatory item for surviving the zombie sniffles.

Because if you can’t leAve your house for a couple weeks TP is good to have. A few people saw others buying and they bought, and before you know it the internet sees it’s all being bought so everyone goes to buy it, then it’s all gone.

Same thing would happen if someone buys up all the 5.56 ammo at a local bass pro and posts it on Facebook that it’s all gone, then everyone will think there’s a shortage and go purchase.

I’m not buying because of the virus but did add a few thing because of societies reaction to the virus. You can’t fix stupid all you can do is try to manage your exposure to it.

Been a very expensive week of prepping for me....
Just purchased a new grapple bucket for the tractor, and new arrows, Iron Will components, Park and Sons string and Matrix target. Spring fever is far more dangerous on the pocketbook than any virus.

I had to go into my local King Soopers this evening. The TP and paper towel aisle was empty of course, but I was surprised to see the frozen food section wiped clean, the bread aisle empty, canned food and pasta aisle empty.. This just seems to be spiraling out of control.

Yeah and then that makes more people panic and breeds more buying and hoarding. I’m thinking about cleaning the ice cream isle out at 6am, didn’t think about running out of that. Hard to get in sheep shape with no carbs......

Will probably get a new mortgage, have to drive across the state Saturday, so I might try to pick up a couple pounds of powder (not for zombie apocalypse, just because it comes from over seas and is already prone to shortages, and I can’t buy any locally, so it’s a normal travel purchase). Usually use miles for my annual Alaska hunt trip, but might buy tickets this year if prices tank.

I was telling a friend today, man I wish I bought up all the facemask I could find and start turning a profit on those suckers.
He said a friend of his in FL bought 80.000 facemask 3 weeks ago, it took him 3 days this week to sell them all on Amazon at a 200 times profit. Now he's got 40 gallon drum of hand sanitizer he's trying to figuer out how to bottle for resale without getting in trouble!
This worold we live in is INSANE LOL....

Figured I’d go ahead and throw in the TP as a joke, but the booze ain’t no joke!
