Self-proclaimed 'homesteader' with extreme food stockpile tells internet to 'prepare' now 'before it's too late'
A woman has revealed how she’s preparing for the end of the world by creating a fruitful homestead – but says even her family thinks she’s “crazy”.
Gubba, 23, stockpiles her pantry and has her own dairy animals so that she’s ready for an imminent crisis.
The homesteader believes that she has enough food to feed herself and her family for up to a year.
In a video shared on her Instagram, (@gubbahomestead ), she reveals her quirky lifestyle methods, racking up over 344,000 views and thousands of likes.
But not everyone is on board.
“They [my family] thought I was crazy at first, but now they see I'm ahead of the curve with wars ramping up and other global factors,” Gubba told What's The Jam.
“I got real serious when I saw the empty grocery store shelves during the pandemic.”
I preserve food so my family and I can eat when the grocery stores can't provide it.
“Or when inflation skyrockets and food becomes unaffordable.
“I can food in Mason jars; I freeze-dry food, and I employ other methods of food storage that help me build my food reserves, such as preserving eggs and making my own medicine.
“My dad still thinks I'm crazy.
“But he has homestead parents and lots of family members who know how hard it is to be disconnected from supermarket luxuries.
“But he also knows I do what I believe in and never let others detract me.”
The full-time homesteader, from Washington, US, also keeps a stock of wood to hand in case the “grid drops” and has many animals on her farm to keep her produce ticking over.
She said: “I have multiple [animals] around the homestead.
“My chickens for eggs, my goats for milk and cheese, my bees for honey, and my dogs for when bears and mountain lions come around —and they do.
She said: “I keep my woodpile stocked from nearby
