So by stockpiling, aren't you contributing to a food shortage? You're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Actually no - it's panic buying that creates a food shortage. Pepple stocking up sensibly now (buying a little extra at a time) allows the shops to replenish their stocks in the normal way. "Prepping" in this context is just like having a good old fashioned larder - if there is any problem with food supply, you have a buffer. Possible Brexit shortages are just one example - think snow or floods. And don't think things like this don't happen. I remember the problems caused by the fuel strikes a number of years ago - no fuel mean no lorries delivering!!! Always worth having a couple of weeks basics if you have space.

As Brexit approaches, many people are choosing to make extra preparations in light of potential disruptions to food supply. For some people this means a few extra tins in the cupboard, for others it goes as far as renting storage units and having hidden stocks. Whilst I'm not quite at that extreme, I can say that I am definitely prepping for Brexit. It's not for everyone, but numbers are growing quickly - I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

What is prepping?
Prepping (coming from preparation, preparedness) is essentially the act of stockpiling food, drinks and household goods in case of emergency or crisis. The most common prepping items are food and drinks. Generally people will stockpile foods that are stored at ambient temperatures and have a long shelf-life.

What are we preparing for?
Hopefully nothing! Preppers are generally preparing for any sort of unexpected event that disrupts the supply of their daily essentials for living. This could be a natural disaster, petrol shortage, extreme weather or civil unrest. The whole point of prepping is for survival, and to make that survival as comfortable as possible.

Are you prepping for Brexit? What do you think of prepping? What do you want to know about being a prepper?

Are you Prepper Pig?

Not doing anything extra in terms of stockpiling in case of a no deal Brexit. Finally we hear news of Labour moving closer to back a 2nd referendum. They will be putting up their amendment to May's botched Brexit deal (most likely defeated) and likely to vote for the Cooper-Letwin amendment to avoid no deal Brexit by basically extending Article 50 to allow more time for negotiations/amendments to May's deal. Failure of that will (hopefully) lead to Labour backing a People's Vote. I know how I'd vote ...

I guess that's the ideal scenario but probably not something we can rely upon. If the country voted to leave once, they could easily do it again.

No, but my parents are so if the worst comes to the worst I'll pop on a train home until there's food in the supermarkets again.

My parents have stockpiled pasta, tinned peaches, tinned tomatoes etc. They've also got at least a 6 months' supply of toilet paper piled up in the garage because apparently the pulp is made in Europe...

That's good, it's easier to prep if you have more space at home. I read about the toilet paper pulp mostly coming from Sweden so bought some extra. That's certainly not something I'd like to be without.

Why do you think there will be a problem with food supplies? Coutnries outside the EU in europe (switzerland, albania, norway etc) are fine. are you really that brainwashed by propoganda?

I don't think that there will be a problem. I'm ensuring I'm prepared on the off chance that there are issues in the short term, which I think is quite possible.

Original post by HungryNiceGuy

Uh what exactly would happen if we didn't 'prep' ?
And why anyway? Brexit shouldn't cause this

Probably nothing - but I prefer to be safe than sorry. Brexit shouldn't cause a major issue but there is a possibility it might impact stock or prices, and if that does happen I'd rather have plenty of supplies at home.
