Well shit, hey there ya go.

But uh yeah, keeping it stocked is actually a bitch and a half.

You have to monitor temp and humidity levels, else most shit will in fact go bad. You really, really do not want to move into your bunker and discover a surprise black mold infection everywhere.

Gotta check your water system, gotta check your electricals... its not just buy it and forget it, it requires active monitoring and maintenance.

Like uh, more recently, a whole bunch of gun nuts went out and bought themselves boatloads of ammo during the latest 'Dems are gonna take all your guns' scare... thinking of it as both a more normal situation 'investment' (planning on prices going up forever) as well as useful for barter and shooty shoot in a shtf scenario.

Well guess what, that was a cyclical bubble, not a new constant trend, ammo didnt just keep going up and up and up.

Oh and if you move, transporting a small armory's worth of ammo is a logistical nightmare: very dense and heavy, also it can explode, also its fucking weapons grade munitions, enjoy paperwork, also a bunch of states just passed laws that more or less said... yeah, if you're 3rd party transacting ammo, you have to do that all through a gun store who can submit all the paperwork, no more loophole for untrackable ammo with no paper trail.

And the best part: many, many of these buffoons... didn't bother with environmental control.

Surprise, idiots!

Heating and cooling cycles weaken cartridges over time, air can get into a cartridge with a compromised seal, which now begins to ... basically neuter your gunpowder, rust is a thing that can happen when moisture is too high, as is mold, and all of these things can turn your rounds low quality or outright into duds in just a few years of not being properly stored.

There is truly nothing funnier to watch than divorced Republican dads fail and fail and fail all over again at everything they attempt because they are too overconfident, don't bother to fully research a topic before diving into it, and assume they are experts because they watched another overconfident asshole on youtube acted like one... and disregard any relevant questions or criticism from someone they don't respect.
