(US) Long term stash planning BIG Thread

[Ghoul]

With the sun setting on the "Golden Age of Cheap and Easy Chinese Gear", it's time to share ideas about long term planning.

-What are your "can't live without" essentials?

-How much of a "buffer" supply to ride out supply disruptions do you need to feel secure?

-How will you maximize storage life?

Where did you get that info that easy Chinese gear era ending from? Got any inside info from Tony? You heard something when you massage him?
Nothing has changed. Same story as every year.

Nothing has changed. Same story as every year.

The only people who don't recognize a muscular customs enforcement regime is imminent are those not paying attention.

The de minimus loophole, which is the only reason the floodgates to Chinese gear opened wide, will cease to exist in its current form.

The Chinese suppliers know this. It's their primary motivation for opening US warehouses. The direct shipping from China model will be coming an end, because just like it wasn't practical 20 years ago due to the high likelihood of getting seized, it's going to return to that. Plenty of European countries are already "No reship" "High risk" locations because they're not dealing with the surge of small packs from China de minimus enabled in the US, overwhelming custom's ability to screen them.

It's the shipping equivalent of 100 people mobbing a retail store and all rushing through the doors with stolen goods. The crackdown has been slow in coming, but the pieces are all in place, and with the election behind us it's going to be full speed ahead.

And to preempt the clown car that'll be pulling up, I said the end of "Cheap and Easy", not "unavailable at any price".

This is a rather morbid thread Ghoul. None of those laws have yet passed. As you said, now the election is over, congress will get back to doing what it always does... nothing.

With this new administration, the first order of business will be tax cuts. Regardless of party, don't think there will be walls or health care or de minis or anything meaningful coming from this congress. Especially since re-election is no longer an influence. Stopping the trade flow from China, or any other country, will not be entertained in the least. This administration wants the trade flood doors open full throttle, since much it has its hands in is dependent on it.

This administration wants less government, less enforcement, and more money... facilitating it's own kleptocracy is top priority.

You are sorely mistaken if you think the legislation supported by nearly every member of both houses, and by both candidates will amount to nothing.

Maybe you think the Executive orders from September that are already going to close the door most of the way are a joke, and there's no way they'll be implemented?

I understand why wishful thinking is attractive,

"It's so easy to have gear shipped from China and it'll always be that way! Hooray! Customs could never possibly get their act together and do the same thing plenty of European countries do! Congress won't ever change it, and even if they do, they'll give us plenty of advance notice to get our orders in!"

This isn't about fearing what's coming, but taking action to sensibly prepare in a clear eyed way to minimize disruption to our quality of life.

Yeah who give a fuck if it's true or not, let's share our stashes or maybe better not?

Anyway in an hypothetical scenario that really shit is changing, I would need: 500gr of test U 500gr of testo D
And 200gr of any other long ester substance I like so:

Primo - Masteron - Tren - Deca - NPP - EQ

Sadly I don't believe I can store HGH long term as degradation would happen or I would buy a 3-4 years stash

Don't need anything else.

Cheap and easy coming to an end?

If a kg of testosterone goes up by $350 (doubles) it wouldn’t matter. Most steroid users are upper middle class and $350 going to make anyone desperate or cause panic. I’m sure most wouldn’t even notice.

I don’t think one person will care. More important things going on in our lives than the price of steroids, That are already cheap. $700 is still cheap to someone who spends thousands a month on food.

I’d be more concerned about food myself. Buy a farm and solar panels if you have concerns about the future

I'm not talking about the apocalypse. This is about the Temu like pricing and selection available because of the ability to send packages filled with steroids directly from China to customers without much risk of seizure.

US warehouses already have a smaller selection and much higher prices.

Once international mail is no longer a reliable shipping method, domestic sources will be the only way to get gear, and it's going to get more expensive, with a selection far less broad than it is now.

Basically, a return to the market conditions of 20 years ago.
