Too late, Burpee has sold out due to unprecedented demandIf you're going to garden, better be getting with it, before there's a shortage of seeds.
They were one of the first things to go here (after the toilet paper!)Well, I still hunt. Got the guns, and the skills, and the tools needed to process the meat.
But I've never encountered a wild pig in my neck of the wood though. So, no bacon for me then.
Plenty of Deer, Turkeys, Squirrel, Rabbits, etc.
Got enough land for a garden, but I picked up a hatred of hoeing during childhood.

I've got neighbors looking to sell entire sides of beef, pork, or lamb, your choice, processed, wrapped, and labeled. Now if the electric power was reliable enough to keep the freezers running....Just been shopping in the Phoenix area this week, and now some meat (notably chicken) is limited purchase in most stores.

It's thunderstorm season already.

Out here in the sticks, power outages don't conform to civilized "norms". Keep a tank of water on hand just in case. I don't freeze much stuff. Have to get a permit from power company to have a generator. Line worker safety, you know.Any decent quality chest freezer that is in deep freeze will keep food frozen during a normal storm outage up to 24 hours as long as you do not open it.
Want to be safe? Generator...

No it isn't, but it could be if too many naysayers and deniers elect not to cooperate. My state (Vermont) has had one of the lowest rates of infection and fatality nationwide, due to our rural nature and dispersed population, as well as a generally broad sense of community and volunteerism, but every day I see enough disbelievers walking around in defiance of best practices to provide a permanent reservoir of infection into the future. In Home Depot today, I had to run away from an obnoxious unkempt fellow with a runny nose, sneeze, and coughing fits and no mask who wanted to talk plumbing with me and kept following me around. I asked store personnel if he could be removed as a health risk, and they said the door minders never should have let him in, but once in, there was nothing they could do. Another leak in the pressure hull. Too many will overwhelm the pumps.It's a flu, far more contagious I agree, but if you listen to the fear mongers it's the worst thing since the Bubonic Plague of the 1340's (news flash - it isn't), nor is it the 1919 Spanish Influenza, I was led to believe thousands dead per day laying in the streets.
It's not the quality of the water, it's the location - 115 feet underground. No electricity, no well pump. There's a surface well with good water quality, but it dries up half the year. I have a basic filter system, out of an abundance of caution, but it really isn't needed.As for water, have you tried getting a commercial grade water filtration system?
Every human being is entitled to as much safe drinking water (and health care, security, privacy, legal protection, food, shelter, etc) AS HE CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR. The functional definition of our society.And some people do not think safe drinking water is a basic human right.

I got the sitrep from the EOC this morning, in 59 days our entire county (population ~970,000) has had 37 fatalities. It's looking more and more like an issue of control than pandemic. Just my perspective, not saying it's right or wrong and you're certainly within your rights to disagree with me, but the whole thing is one that makes me go "Hmm...".
You mean these?So, mass graves in New York are a regular occurrence during flu season then?
It's been in use for burying those who can't afford a cemetery - in other words a paupers grave. Not for mass casualty events.You mean these?
More Media Lies: Shocking Report of Mass Graves for COVID-19 Victims in the Bronx -- Downplays the Fact That It Has been in Use for 150 Years!
In answer to your question... Yes.
AAaaand... where are these "mass casualty event" graves again?It's been in use for burying those who can't afford a cemetery - in other words a paupers grave. Not for mass casualty events.
In Potter's Field on Hart Island in Long Island Sound offshore of the Bronx. Been a paupers burial site since 1869 and contains over a million remains. Has housed victims of yellow fever, "Spanish" flu, tuberculosis, AIDS, 9/11/01, and now Covid 19. Read "The Sniper's Wife" by Archer Mayor for a fictional but fairly accurate description of a visit to the place. Used to fly over it regularly on the low level route from BOS/PVD to LGA or EWR.AAaaand... where are these "mass casualty event" graves again?
So what is Costco supposed to do? Not limit the amount of things, and then only a few get it? That is exactly what will happen. A few people will go in, and buy up all the stuff. If I recall that's why we have a toilet paper shortage. Morons hoarding all of it.
