    LOL. I don’t see why not. I’ll let you know. He’s in Churchville, off Glenville Rd. Raises sheep.

    I’ll be eating the pigeons....


    I’ve had pigeon and it tasted pretty damn good. Better than bland white boneless chicken breast.

    Protecting my aquarium as a prepper

    For those that are into caring for fish, what would be the typical store of fish antibiotics that you would keep on hand for the purpose of preparing for their care?

    There are numerous sites online to order fish antibiotics and I feel like it would be prudent to stock up on such antibiotics just in case.

    Since these are often the same medicines as human antibiotics, and made in the same factories, you may not even keep fish as a pet yet have something to contribute to this discussion.

    I've seen some aquarium keepers suggest the following as a means of protecting as small group of fish:

    -Doxycycline: 200 at 100mg
    -Clindamycin: 50 at 300mg
    -Cephalexin: 100 at 500mg
    -Amoxicilin: 100 at 500mg
    -Metronidazole: 100 at 500mg
    -Sulf/Trim (allergic myself to this, but for other family): 100 at 800/160

    I keep SMZ/TMP and Amoxicillin. Doxy will be added soon.

    Here is guy repping a service for real SHTF drugs.




    The company has doctors that you consult with and they prescribe and ship the meds for $260 (there is also the youtuber's discount -$20 good thru mid-February), so $240 today.


    The "kit" includes the following:

    Unlimited physician follow-up for any questions relating to the use of any medication prescribed

    Emergency Antibiotic Guide written by board-certified physicians as a companion to the use of your prescribed antibiotics

    Amoxicillin-clavulanate 875 mg tablets (28 tablets)
    Azithromycin 250 mg tablets (6 tablets)
    Ciprofloxacin 500 mg tablets (28 tablets)
    Doxycycline 100 mg capsules (120 capsules)
    Metronidazole 500 mg tablets (30 tablets)

    Each medical bundle is intended as an emergency supply for ONE ADULT.

    * In the case of medication allergies the medications above may be substituted or removed at the discretion of the physician.

    -----

    FWIW I priced out the drugs/quantities above and I could get them for as low ~$82 by visiting a few local pharmacies (used GoodRx.com for pricing). Obviously that doesn't include the doctors consultation.

    -----

    I didn't compare the pricing to "fish" antibotics.

    What say you?
