Fellow europoors, do you prepare for the winter in any way? I've never been a doomer but I do expect a very shitty winter with everything being the way it is right now.

I started prepping food in my basement but there is a long way to go and I'm not sure how deep I want to dive into this. I mean do you just prepare by stocking canned beans or do you set up a backpack to leave everything behind within minutes if needed? How bad is it gonna be and what do you guys do financially? I obviously hold crypto and I do have cash in three currencies (euro, usd and swiss franc) but I'm not sure what else to do. No complete shizoids please.

IMO if you have a detached house or townhome, given the situation you're prepping for (one where you'll need food eg supply chain collapse) you'll be better off staying put and "bugging in" for the first few weeks of a collapse rather than "bugging out".

There are pros and cons to each, but if the situation you are prepping for comes to pass, there won't be a complete breakdown of order but food items might become hard to get temporarily. In which case the larger markets would be restocked first.

If you think the situation might be deeper or longer than stocking a couple weeks of food might remedy, then you should reconsider the entire prep and stock guns and ammo or be ready to bug out.

I fell for the food stocking meme too - a minor problem with supply or economy, a few cases of tinned chicken and tuna will help stretch things when they're tight. But anything more than that and you want to have a way to get out and a place to get to, or otherwise if you have to bug in, defense items, medical supplies, water filtration, and food a very distant 4th.

I suggest making pemmican. The stuff sold commercially as "pemmican" generally is not the real thing and will spoil rapidly. Any real pemmican sold commercially will be too expensive to be a practical food stash. It isn't hard to make. I buy the grass-fed tallow commercially (but you still need to fully render it) and low fat cuts of grass fed beef. I made a dehydrator, but you can buy one cheap. Then you are in business. I suggest getting a vacuum sealer also. Properly made, vacuum sealed, stored away from excessive heat and moisture, that stuff will last many years, perhaps decades, and is extremely nutrient dense. There are reasons why it was the food of choice for American fur trappers and arctic explorers.

depends on how hard you want to go and where you live
if you live in southern europe youre not going to freeze, its mostly food and electricity thats a concern
if you live in western/central europe you might have problem with your power grid and it could get very tight by the end of the winter with regards to gas heating, also risk of civil unrest since youre so tightly crammed together
in eastern europe power is going to get too expensive to live, baltics seem to be fugged already
northern europe is fine as long as the power grid is stable, if not, you better have a way to warm yourself
in any case try to figure out how you will continue your activities without electricity, move in with your family and pool resources/heat, stack enough food to not suffer from shortages, get money outside of the bank (cash, crypto, pms) in case of a "credit event", get hunting rifles+ammo, lighting with lamp oils, blankets/warm clothes and ways to cook without electricity and most importantly water supplies

I learned a lot in 2020 between the theory and reality of food prepping, early 2020 before the lockdowns I started hoarding rice, beans and a bunch of other shit you see people recommend online, including all the stuff you'd need to prep that food for eating without power.
the reality of day to day living off that stuff when I tried it for a while (more as an experiment rather than a necessity) was that canned food was all I went for every time I was hungry, canned hot dogs, canned meatballs, canned chicken etc. any canned meat, just eaten cold, no point fucking about with anything else.
that and dark chocolate, went over 2 weeks and was good.
screw the rice and beans- canned meats are cheap, taste good cold, nutritionally better and can be stored somewhere dry easily, literally the only other thing I'd say is get some dark chocolate, lasts for a long time, is delicious and is dirt cheap thanks to based modern slavery.
if you're in an apartment it might be worth getting some water, again it's a cost that's virtually zero.

as for winter/cold prep, I did the bulk of that last year, I have a storage thing under my bed full of winter outdoor clothing, blankets and lots of insulated thermal stuff to wear inside too.

In my Opinion if anyone is going to be prepping food I genuinely think that you should store food that you eat regularly and culturally significant if it can be preserved. as a Brown person ( not the scam kind ) my diet is mostly beans, rice, and bread, Supplemented with mostly beef / pork as the meat of choice.

Imo i think of it as ok, i would prefer it to be fresh but Im ok with eating anything desu, my favorite canned meat tho is spam or chicken. i like spam because its very dence and has a ok flavor when i cook with it. (granted im not a cullinary mastermind but whatever).

canned chicken on the other hand IMO is pretty great when you cook with it in specific dishes, like steamed rice with carrots, cellery, abit of a nice tomato sauce. it adds alot of favor and its very healthy if your into that.

I would sugest for any people that prep is that flavoring is always a good think to have, buy alot of canned seasonings. cant forget buying some salt, it has alot of uses.

if you want to get into growing your own food /OUT/ always has a nice general where people are really helpfull about plants and can pont you in the right direction for what would be a good idea to grow in your reigon for food.

Asking a bunch of basement dweller neets how to survive the winter is a poor choice. They get their ideas from other basement dwellers and TV shows and schizo youtubers who are trying to sell them their products and courses. First of all, there is no impending collapse. There may be in the future but you should be planning far in the future not "this season". If SHTF this season you are probably fucked anyways.

IMO The single best way to 'prep' is to befriend your neighbors. This is not something larpers tell you because they want to play like a lone wolf american pioneer (without understanding that these pioneers mostly lived in massive settlements and also died a lot). All the prepping for your own house is worth 0 in an actual collapse. Humans do not survive alone.

The other things to do have been talked about already. Get long-lasting foods. Canned goods, grains, dried foods. These all last long term.

As someone focusing a lot on growing more and more of my own food, it is currently a good time to buy seeds now if you have space to garden or place pots. Even a few edible plants, medicinal, or cooking herbs go a long way to improving your resilience and your quality of life even if there is no SHTF event. Seeds are all on sale at your local garden center or home improvement center. Most places will sell them for <20% of full price this time of year. In a cool dark place they will mostly last far past next planting season. In ideal conditions multiple years.

Depending on your climate it is probably not too late to plant many vegetables. Salad greens, snap peas, and late season carrots are viable now even in northern places. In a mild, maritime climate you may still be able to grow summer squash, pole beans, late season corn, cucumbers, and others. Plant garlic next month for harvest in the next summer. It is easy to grow a year's worth in a small patch and that patch can still be used for other above-ground crops as well.

Europeans don’t do this anymore because they aren’t white. Only whites prepare for times of scarcity

This. I learned from Minecraft anarchy servers that it doesn’t matter how much you prep and build up resources, I’m going to travel 10k blocks from spawn to your rural area and grief/steal your shit.

I would just give up on prepping because I’m going to come by with a bucket of lava and encase your home in cobblestone

And this is why you ignore basement dwelling neets on real life issues. They think life is like a minecraft server because they have not actually spoken to another person or lived through anything.

Without a weapon you arent going to get anything.
Without a weapon you will not even be able to trade.
And with a weapon you can only go so far as one of the attempts at pillage will get you killed.
Perhaps not the first or second or 10th you will maybe live for a few years of banditry, but no bandit lives a long life.

Thats how many communist partisans in Yugoslavia died. And was only lasted from 1941 to 1945 there.

You can google it but tl;dr is get stuff that you can trade easily with others like lighters, medicine, toilet paper and soap, etc.

easiest actionable advice is get out of cities and start cooperating with your neighbors

Put it in mylar with oxygen asorbers, then seal it with a hair curling iron. Itll last 20 to 30 years that way.

Nobody can store enough food to last a lifetime. Storing extra food is designed to give you some breathing room until things calm down or you figure something else out.

Guns and ammo are never a bad investment

Russia isn't going to fail, because they don't need us as much as we need them. It's really just that simple.

The only thing that russia has is abudant energy, cheap labor, and a dictator president who can arrange anything you need if you go through him. Not hating on Vlad, that's just how things go. Russia and China go well together, and India is there to soak up their cheap stuff as well.

Canned beans are Ok but I prefer raw beans to cook. Assuming electricity isn't at £1,000/kwh you can still boil beans, or at the very least cold soak them in water overnight. I know meat is best but if you don't have massive freezers it won't last long. Just avoid soi beans and you won't grow tits.

Dont really do THAT much. Bought 20kg of rice, have some instant coffee, like ~20 cans of fish...maybe 3kg of canned beans. Small package bread with long shelf life. Huge amount of tomato paste andd canned humus (wtf, but its good prep guess). Random assorted pasta. some small cans of corn, peas and carrots. Some random glasses of fruit/veggie stuff and 2 packs of space potato stuff.
Some extra utility stuff like soap and plastic bags. Also multi vitamins for good measure. Should be good enough to not starve for some time, even if we get nothing for some months, but will get murdered by starving mobs.

Oh and have a small solar charger powerbank for phone (basically camping equipment).
Also a 10litre foldable water canteen and a water filter thing (basically camping equipment). Thinking about getting a campinggaz propane grill with like 12 bottles to cook in case of absolute shit hitting the fan (basically camping equipment). If everything works out fine, I can just pick up camping as a hobby and cook some chili.

Something I really want is a big fresnel lense to do the solar cooking meme where i could also boil water

Stock up on freeze dried, dried, and canned goods. that's in order from longest to shortest in terms of shelf life, but the even canned goods can last for a few years is stored properly. Outside of that, I recommend keeping a (secret) garden for production of fresh produce and also farm animals if you can for butchering later. If you're really serious, acquire a rifle for hunting and practice hunting. Additionally, look into trapping techniques. Know where the rivers are for both water and fish. Learn how to make a fire using primitive methods for when lighters and lighter fluid becomes scarce (might want to stock up on those too), both by hand drill and bow drill. Hand drill is horribly painful, but the most primitive method, and if you learn it, that technique could very well save your life. It's brutal on the hands though. Not saying it's going to be easy. If you do all of this, you're way more likely to survive this apocalypse than your average boomer.
