Prepping to a whole new level

Postby justoneguy » Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:44 am

all the advice on prepping for the new SHTF seams to be about trying to avoid it.
stockpiles of medicine are being sold out.
My bug out/in has been ready but,
This is the "boomer" disease, and my wife has respiratory issues already.
I'm thinking if Tylenol & toilet paper are already in short supply,
What other medical supplies will come up short?

I just bought an fingertip oxygen level sensor for about $20,
and my big purchase is an oxygen concentrator new about $600
I'm thinking you could buy a couple of more and sell them for $1500 - $2000,
except, I'm not that kind of guy

The truth will set you free,
but first it's really going to piss you off.

Makes sense for your need especially. I bought a UV light sterilizer last week - intended for baby bottles but it will take care of the surfaces of anything that will fit into the chamber, so great for remotes, cell phones, car keys, glasses, wrist watches, so we will use it regularly anyway going forward, but I got it to stretch the use of N95 masks if one of us gets sick and needs to care for the other.

Whats the model of UV sanitizer that you got, if you don't mind sharing?

They've updated the listing and jacked the price up by $60 since I bought it two weeks ago...

It's an odd feeling but I think I will continue to use this thing - the UV sterilizer - long after the covid crisis damps out. It's nice to be able to come back into the house from being in public - especially during winter cold and flu season - and just empty my pockets into it - watch, phone, cash, coin, receipts, wallet, keys, etc and hit the button.

I was shopping around for a UV sanitizer and kept coming back to the one you bought....finally pulled the trigger at $209.99....I used their instant credit to get $60.00 off. Received it Saturday...very easy to use, good capacity and looks nice...just so happens the wife was looking for a phone sanitizer when Amazon delivered....she was very happy she didn't pull the trigger on her purchase...me too since i would have paid for it. I guess all remotes, keys, phones are sanitized...

Glad it was a help - I really like it.
