These stores are not supposed to prepare you for three days of resilience in advance.
They are meant to be available as reliable and functioning stores throughout a crisis period. Your go-to destination for purchasing vital goods during the crisis.

A big chunk of society has realistically 2-3 days of groceries in their house, plus maybe a 5-year-old bag of rice or pasta and can of string beans buried way in the back. If you have a 1-6 year old you're probably buying 1-3 gallons of milk per week, and need to get more tomorrow.

After covid, we keep a stock of extra dry goods on hand. If you need that much milk, it can just be frozen when found on sale. As long as it completely defrosts, you don't get any ice

a whole fucking country cosplaying as prepers, but without the guns and trucks it's a bit lame

Yeah Denmark is very boring compared to many other countries :) ... and not meant as a warrantless dig against a large country with a high ratio of pistols-per-capita, but I did research it yesterday and from what I can tell America hasn't changed the 10 rights in their Bill Of Rights ever, whereas Denmark has made major revisions to its entire constitution multiple times.

The Danish word for hoarding is "hamstering". Perhaps the most adorable thing about the language. (P.S. the pronunciation of hygge is anything but hyggelig)

One needs to monitor Russia for this matter. Luckily the SOP and the way Russia just bomb not occupy or invade with the original people in mind, meant you can know they are coming by seeing them stockpiling annd tank/trunk … drone not sure. Just wonder some 3 day storage …well better than nothing.

I read this two or three times and have no idea what you are trying to convey.
Three days seems low, but any resilience is better than no resilience.
