«-- A Warning on Buying Full Capacity Magazines in "Kit Form" | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Notes from JWR:
A link to an article in the New York Sun is getting forwarded
like wildfire on preparedness web sites and blogs, and was both linked at The
Drudge Report and mentioned by talk radio host Glenn Beck: Food
Rationing Confronts Breadbasket
of the World. It is notable that the article specifically talks about shortages
at the "big box" warehouse stores like COSTCO and
Sam's Club. Those are where I recommended stocking up, in my "Rawles
Gets You Ready" preparedness course. Even with these current
shortages, the course explains how a family can economically stock up 90% of
what they
need for
a year of food storage in just a couple of trips to a warehouse store.
