More and more, people are stocking up on food and emergency supplies. There is a huge market for emergency rations and other items. I wonder a few things. Are people keeping track of expiration dates? Are they buying rations that are already out of date? When their 2 weeks or 2 months of food does run out when the shtf, what are they going to do? Do they know how to forage? Do they know how to grow their own food? Can they skin and butcher the animal they just shot? Do they know how to operate that radio they have tucked away for the great breakdown? Can they protect their family and food supply from gangs of people who will be wandering around looking for victims?

These are legitimate questions and the time to think about them is now.
