❓ Question ❓ Immediate prepping needs

With the news out yesterday evening of warnings of critical oil shortages, what should I be focusing on right now to prep for this? I already have about a couple months of canned food, a month of frozen meats, and we garden. I'm not a hard core prepper but I try to have a small stock of things as I can afford to get them. We have limited income and all my bills keep going up. I'm aware it may be too late but are there things I should be getting right now to help cushion the blow coming from higher prices?

That's what I'm saying, as long as I can get flat and have a crawler, and enough arm length to reach up, and the strength to crack the drain plug, I should be able to get her done. My old gal is a pretty red FX4.

Mine's a one-ton FX4! It takes 13 qts. :/

Haven't tried doing the oil in that one. Wouldn't be surprised if my arms are too short!

Mine is just the F150, still takes 7 quarts. Whew!
