Reader P.D. notes: “Emergency Essentials appears to be temporarily out of stock most of their super pails. Meanwhile, Walton Feed just went from one week wait to a two-to-three week wait on food orders. Shortages seem to be progressing.” JWR Adds: The long term storage food industry is small and easily overwhelmed by macro level events. It is wise to stock up now. If you wait until after the next crisis, then you may be out of luck. If you are asking: “What crisis?”, then you haven’t been paying attention. The chance of a big financial meltdown in the near future is very high.
