I've alerted my family of the impending strike in the US. While they look at me like a tinfoil hat-wearer, they knew what I was telling them was coming from a good place. Because I don't want them to run out of food or household supplies, get price-gouged, or have to contend with shoppers buying a cartload of TP at once. (Which is not how real preppers work!)

I told my parents(mid 70's) about 3 months ago to be ready for anything and my mom took it to heart and has such a stockpile of food and necessities it drives my dad nuts. Yesterday she ordered 2 of those survival kits from survival frog and had it sent to my house. She had a camping stove sent to my house and many other things sent to my house because she doesn't want my dad to see it all. LOL! She said to me the other day, "if nothing happens we will be eating canned beef stew for the next 5 years".

You did the right thing!
