[Vulture45-70]

No worries, Sleepy non-making decision biden is in, Lots of prep in storage with other items in place, so not very worried. Want me, Let's Play

 

[ShadowMan]

Just keeping and eye on everything and plodding along prepping as usual.

 

[SouthernBreeze]

The last poll had me "glued to the screen". Now, I'm back to being "watchful and ready".

 

[Repairman-Jack]

I'm usually between watchful and glued, I believe last time I voted "glued", I'm back to "watchful" watchful, ready, and checking the preps, and doing something, even minor, to better my position everyday, just in case.

 

[Blacknarwhal]

I remain as glued as I was last time. The bunker, meanwhile, is being built.

 

[Loretta Van Riet]

Well...no riots, arson, or looting in my area at this time. Was a different story last year! So, I am watchful.

 

[Raggedyman]

I'm with Southern Breeze and Cary . . . from last times' "glued to the screen" back to being "watchful and ready". I really expected SOMETHING MORE to come from the election that WASN'T STOLEN but apparently we just threw an insurrection that ALSO wasn't and that's all that's going to happen. that said, the DIPSHITZ ON PARADE SHOW starring joey and Hoey seem to have us well on the way to bankruptcy and CWII. that's what we prepped for and other than repeating its a good time to be an OLD SUMBITCH in the ZUSA thats 'bout all that can be realistically said about ANY of this bullshit anymore.

 

[John Deere Girl]

I'm back to being watchful and topping off anything I need.

 

[Cardinal]

I'm in the soon-to-be-no-gas area. There are already shortages being reported east of me.

 

[Shooter]

watchful. but then im lookinig across open cornfields that were just planted.

more concerned about what the ATF is up to. I have 6 dogs,

 

[raven]

i voted "totally freaked and in my bunker".
however, I am not totally freaked and I am not in a bunker because I am as ready as possible
And I think anything is probable.

This is like one of those zombie movies - except it is mass hysteria - and people are still routinely going about their business like nothing has changed.

For example: The United States Capital has a "border" fence around it and the US border doesn't. And people are just going about their business.

 

[cyberiot]

Just keeping and eye on everything and plodding along prepping as usual.

Same here. Not that I have much in the way of an alternative, anyhow.

 

[PrairieMoon]

I'm watchful AND kinda glued to the screen. Close on our new home on Friday; then to unpack and inventory everything. Will be filling in the prep needs in the coming weeks. Plan to get the gas tanks/cans topped off yet this evening.

 

[ivantherussian03]

Expecting war any day now.

 

[jward]

I was anxious yesterday, and glued. Then I realized it was because I'd ate strawberry shortcake, and thus the first sugar and wheat products, in a good amount of time. "I" wasn't anxious, I'd simply poisoned my body. Weird. Anyway, I'm back to watching (and not eating sugar LOL) and not anxious.

So much meat world on personal plate that I look away and lose track of teh geopolitical big picture. I'm sure it's bad. It's always bad. It's neveh eveh good. :: cynical shrug :: Life goes on ::

 

[fish hook]

Back to my usual,watchful and ready.Main worry these days is hyperinflation,Oh yeah,and that little thermonuclear war thing.

 

[tiredude]

man o man. those who are in your bunkers need to come out now and enjoy life while you can. things can change quickly but there is nothing wrong with smelling the roses while we can.

 

[hiwall]

Not really much happening right now other than maybe being closer than ever to world war, our government trying hard to force everyone in the nation to take some kind of experimental drug, government changing laws to make selected guns illegal, on the cusp of likely a very inflation period which could be hyper-inflation causing the downfall of the USA. Other than that just those on the east having gas shortages which might only be temporary.
But sunny and nice here today!

 

[raven]

there was a significant "energy" event in Texas in February
there was a significant "energy" event in Georgia in May that resulted in the shutdown of two refineries in Texas.

nothing to see here. move along. just a coincidence.

 

[Kathy in WV]

Just watchful and ready. Watching the madness of the whole world from an ants perspective. One small ant from one smallish colony, working along and waiting for SHTF to come along and demolish us all. I'd like to say ..We are legion, for we are many... But I just don't believe that anymore. We're like the people at the Tower of Babel, not enough meaningful communication to accomplish a real change. I've concluded the mess we find ourselves in is a judgment from God for allowing him to be cut out of everything. The devil's disciples made themselves heard loudest. Once in a while I feel a bit hopeless like this, but tomorrow I'll be back to myself, plugging away and feeling efficient lol.

 

[adgal]

When I first voted - I was a bit concerned. I think it was the perspective between the last poll and this one. Even though I didn't like how things turned out - I know I'm prepped and ready - so I was just concerned. But, with the escalation in Isreal and the lack of leadership here in the US. If I could vote again - I would easily step up a level or two.

 

[Old Gray Mare]

I voted no worries. I believe I'm right with God and where he wants me to be. I've done what little I could and will continue to do what I can. All the rest is in his hands, as it always has been.

"May the love of the Lord be with you and in you." - greeting from letters

 

[Sacajawea]

Oh we smell the roses quite a bit in the bunker. It's a big bunker.

 

[Dozdoats]

Don't worry be happy

 

[Topusaret]

After almost 35 hours, the poll stands at 2.01.

You have until tomorrow morning to vote.

 

[Topusaret]

Aaannnnnnddddd. The 64th Prepper Anxiety Poll ends up at 1.99. Pretty mediocre as this poll goes and solidly in the average range.

Thanks to all who voted and commented. Stand by for the next poll, the time frame for which has already been selected at random.
