It’s been described as a bombshell moment. The upper echelons of Sweden’s government and defence forces last week shocked the nation by explicitly warning that war might come to Sweden, and that each and every Swede should prepare themselves. While some have taken the warning seriously and flocked to the stores to stock up on fuel and survival kits, others have accused the country’s leaders of fear-mongering

    What’s the logic in two weeks of provisions? Day 15 sounds like it would be just as much of a shit show as days 1-14.

      Just holding out until more organised help can arrive or your government takes over. This is also in general good advice in case of say natural disasters. Roads may be flooded, areas covered in snow or electricity is out for a few days. Having enough canned food, water, maybe some firewood or alternative means of cooking will come in useful in these circumstances.

      Two weeks is a suggestion, you can do more if you like. There’s no hard limit.

        Well, technically there is a hard upper limit at the point where the first necessary nutrient isn’t available in the form of some food (or pill,…) that lasts that long I suppose.

          I’d call that more if a soft limit as I doubt its definable that far in the future.
