I just tried it and it displayed just fine so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
OK, this is a bug that they have fixed since the last time I tried going to those sites when my computer's internal clock was advanced.
Except you made a claim that isn't really grounded in the facts, you shared links that actually argued against your claim and even though your predictions have totally fallen flat you did that cough cough thing as if it did.
It's about baseless fear mongering. The supply chain is holding up fine and a few price increases... well holding up with a multi year supply of food isn't exactly a rational response. Never mind that you are probably paying more or making food choice compromised if you want a storable supply.
I don't understand how someone can make a claim which has obviously been wrong and yet cling so stubbornly to it.
You're being very militant about not wanting to make sure you're safe and fed.
If you can't see the large cracks in the supply chain right now and getting bigger than You're just blind. It's literally being reported everywhere.
Unvaccinated truckers can no longer cross the border into Canada. Conservative estimate is about 50% of truck drivers are Unvaccinated.
Where do you think our vegetables come from in winter?
Store shelves in a lot of places are empty. Prices are going up quickly.
But ignore all that. There are way more reasons to have a few months of food stored than there isn't. Assuming everything will always just be fine is a dangerous mindset.
FFS it has nothing to do with making sure one is fed and safe and everything to do with your baseless fearmongering. English do you understand it maternal fornicator.
Also what is reported is small cracks and that reporting has pretty much dried up. Also none of the reporting is suggesting that holing up in survival mode is warrented, it's small blips. Even the article you pointed to said it was a big old nothing burger.
Again months on, no problems getting food. None.
As for truck drivers
Some Maritime experts say COVID-19 vaccine mandate for truckers couldn't have come at a worse time
Beginning Saturday, Canada will require all truckers entering from the United States to show proof of vaccination as part of its fight against COVID-19.
According to Picard, the percentage of truck drivers that are fully vaccinated is similar to the general population, close to 85 per cent."
Again made up fear mongering.
As for wear the veg will come from in the winter, from Trucks driven by those who did get the vaccine. Duh.
You keep claiming store shelves are empty, except they are not, that is just something you are making up. Prices are going up a bit, not a lot.
But yeah it's not about your lies and disinformation it's about being opposed to being safe and fed. Yeah whatever bruv.
Pretty sure you are just back on your trolling gig. Time to put you on ignore.
Canadian truck drivers aren't the problem. American truck drivers not being able to cross is.FFS it has nothing to do with making sure one is fed and safe and everything to do with your baseless fearmongering. English do you understand it maternal fornicator.

But you do you puddin. I'm sure everything will be fine cuz you said so.
I had an uncle that made prepping basically his full-time job (he never worked, but had more money than he could ever spend). When he died, it took 4x full 24ft cube trucks to empty his survival bunker in cottage country. Almost everything went straight to shelters and food banks.
Poor guy was in great health into his 80’s, got COVID from a nurse he hired after a knee replacement in February 2020, and died within 2-months.
I definitely know people with a similar net worth with dumber/more expensive hobbies, but I would love to see what he spent every year and over time on that fun.
Like any good boy scout, I try to be prepared. So, I have always kept enough pantry food to keep me going for about 2-months if I’m careful. It’s not a ton of food if you live alone. If water stops flowing, I’ll need to get out of the shitty after about 2-weeks, which isn’t a problem as I frequently hike, trip or camp.
I know there are/will be even more profound supply chain interruptions, and certainly rising prices for produce and meat, but I seriously doubt we’ll see anything close to what we saw even at the beginning of the pandemic.
My grocery store was out of kale this week.
OP, are there any actual signs of the imminent collapse of the entire food supply chain that should be on our radar?
The Canadian Trucking Alliance said that only 10-15% of cross-border commercial truckers might be impacted by the mandate.
I’m assuming “COVID” is the root cause of the collapse that would cause this cascade, but if 85-90% of trucks are still coming into Canada with food and we’re still producing food, maybe at lower capacity, when do grocery stores start closing?
I feel like the acceptable time to be smug about stockpiling supplies is only after it becomes necessary to survive on those supplies.
In my uncle’s case, he was prepared and smug about it for almost 70 years.
He came across as a paranoid fool that wasted a lot of his life on a problem he never had to those of us that survived him.

And asking a question of what everyone is doing to be ready is not trolling. You jumping into the thread to be belligerent and condescending is.
I was looking for a conversation with like minded individuals.
But after being gone from here for nearly 10 years and seeing you're still here. Tells me all I need to know about you doc.

The best reply yet. I'm not like you're uncle but I have enough food to keep me going for about 2 years but with 7 people in my family to make sure are taken care it is actually more like 3 months.I had an uncle that made prepping basically his full-time job (he never worked, but had more money than he could ever spend).

I'm not out preaching it to people but enjoy conversations with people that jave a similar mindset and talking possible collaborations with them if needed.
I will never understand the militant "nothing will ever go wrong" mindset and the anger to those that think it's better to be safe than sorry.
Sorry to hear you lost your uncle. Close or not losing family is hard.
Thanks!
He was a lonely kook, and kept his preparedness mostly a family secret which isolated him even more since that was a big part of his life and identity, but he was a fun uncle up until the end.
I edited without seeing your post, but I am curious to hear why you understand that the fissures we’re seeing in world, continental, national, local supply chains are likely to lead to complete collapse of our food supply chain(s)?
Or is your interest in TERBite preparedness unrelated to present realities and you don’t see a collapse as likely or imminent?
I grew up poor so I was raised with the mindset of get it while you can to be ready for when you can't.
What I see with the supply chain has me very concerned. Environmental issues also have me worried. But I don't envision an end of world scenario but it's not a far leap imo that if food gets hard to find people will get angry.
Revolting on the government can happen and people have been pitted against each other that other riots can happen.
Maybe the infrastructure goes down and we lose banks, hydro and phone service. Unlikely but possible.
I said on another post that the mindset of how it is, is how it will always be is dangerous to me.
So I like knowing that I have a plan and way out if it happens.
I didn't start this because of covid but I've seen the anger in the world escalate because of covid.
The Canadian trucker alliance only talks about Canadian trucks not American. Being in that industry for 10 years if it wasn't for American trucks we'd be fucked.
