I didn't think about sending her stuff. Good idea. She's so happy there, I'm pretty sure she won't try to get out until everyone is trying to get out, though, and it might not be possible. What a trap that place is. Folks didn't leave in droves during 9/11 or the covid con though, so maybe this time they won't either.
She's got a good meat source from a nearby farm that probably drives their own stuff into town, a co-op membership, and lots of grow lights going on. I've already told her to stock up on shelf stable stuff. I think she'll be OK for far longer than most. I sure wish she'd just get out of there, but living on her own there has been a great experience for her, and has exposed her to understandings she was not being exposed to in her last home, Vermont.
We want the best for them! My Daughter was unwilling to even talk about prepping until recently. She is now concerned, but I've been buying for her (and family) for years! I told her I'd bring her a couple of car loads of food, to get her started. They can be a worry for sure!
Bug out timing is tough, and delayed too long is a danger. Bugging in, if they find you have food is a bigger danger! Hiding or using, a functional car is difficult in a big city! Is she in foot distance just in case?
They must be on their own, one of the hard things parents face; when they are raised right! Is she staying there for a job? Maybe there's one locally?
The Co-op sounds good, and the meat source; I'm surprised the liberals haven't shut healthy food like this down! Tell her to Only move a few bags at a time, so her neighbors won't know she's prepping. Leaving them in the trunk for a few hours, while unloading; won't hurt anything, while moving in slowly.
Restocking her will extend her safe time! I may do the same with my daughter.
Still hoping that this is not debilitating, but we'll see!
Be blessed....

I can't bring myself to dash their dreams by telling them the sky is falling. She's a carpenter - she can get a job anywhere. She also knows quite a bit about growing food, livestock care, and preserving. I just hope she sees the need to stay on top and ahead.
She's 300 miles away, not walking distance, and no way she'd leave her two cats.
The other daughter is in Nashville. Better than NY in some ways. She just bought a house that has a large yard with lovely sun exposure. I think she will start growing some food, but she's never done it before.
Both of them think I'm a little nuts.
We are all a little nuts! But that doesn't mean we're not spot on by prepping. I hung with her for a decade before my Daughter realized what's coming! She lives in a small town of maybe 25,000; so the will miss most of it. She is also the best shot I've ever seen...she started shooting her own rifle at 7.
Still pulling for her to get out of NYC safely! Her skill is very sought after, so she can go anywhere. They are always looking for carpenters here, and girls have a real advantage in employment! Cats are not very helpful for SHTF, but I like kitties myself; if my dog didn't just kill them....
Her biggest risk is the liberal mindset in NYC. That will cause things to break down faster! Nashville is much safer...fewer liberals, and more firearms!
The gardens will be process critical soon!
