Ha ha this is so funny. Only a stupid moron would believe this. And only someone selling silver coins would say it.

Oh and tarps and Duct tape

That said, moderate physical gold positions are good. Keep cash for stocks when priced right. Standard blue chips with decent dividends are not going anywhere.

Otherwise, tap your 401K for cash before Congress loots it. Get some land. Learn how to garden, process meat. Ideally find a rural community within commuting distance to an urban location for work. Make connections in the community, participate. Rural towns really do help each other, but they have to know you.

A .22LR, a shotgun, 10 acres, and a handpump well are all you really need to feed yourself. If you think you need firearms for self defense then you picked the wrong place to like and are sunk.

Just a tip, I would include one of those things (magnesium bars?) that create sparks to build a fire without matches or lighters.

I’ve decided to invest in silver – more affordable, altho seems more volatile in the market, but I think its a good hedge and a good place to start.

I have noticed the several online bullion dealers are having trouble delivering silver. For example, it will show the coinage or bar available, but then delivery is a month later.

Tells me silver is getting in short supply. I’d rather buy gold, but not at today’s price.

suggestion, keep your house. hopefully you have locked in fixed interest rate. this will survive hyper inflation. may you will be able to pay off your house during that time.

…just a thought.

and regarding safety and riots… military took over power and controlled major check points in Austria at that time. live rural, all good and fine, but how realistic is that for you? you need people around you. being alone is not always best.

the most important thing was not mentioned here a lot, pray and humble yourself before GOD. He is the only one that can prevail and help us to live free and in safety. And I believe in His miracles and his support.

And in my opinion, it is also my suggestion to you, whatever happens, it is not going to be a bad thing. There are always new opportunities arising every time one thing or period ends or closes down. this is the fun part in life, we can remember always Tom Hanks in “forest gump”, life is like a box of chocolate.

I thank my God for all up’s and down’s. They are a reminder to pray to Him always.

God’s Speed.

Out of all the prophecies in the Bible, all have been precise and happened exactly as foretold.

From Forbes Magazine:

Muslim Prophecy

forbes magazine link

“Is Barack Obama the ‘promised warrior’ coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?” asked columnist Amir Taheri in Forbes. “The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government website published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

“According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a ‘tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.’ Commanding ‘the strongest army on earth,’ the new ruler in the West will carry ‘a clear sign’ from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: ‘Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.’”

The Khomeinist establishment in Iran sees Obama’s rise as another sign of the West’s decline and the triumph of Islam and the return of the Mahdi.

I couldn’t agree with your statements more. Your viewpoints are flawless.

If mankind has no purpose, do we really deserve to be here?

THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL

Try to get away from big cities. Well that is easier said then done. Do what you can. Rent some little barn or something. Just somewhere you can be out of the city. You already see social collapse and decay. Don’t be around IF it really goes bad. If its just hyper-inflation and economic with viens of order and people are not starving to death then the riots and civil unrest will be around, but not lethal to everyone. However having a garden or something outside the city give you a place to go, and a way to get some food.

Stock up on what you can. I tell people just go to the store like always. Sometimes buy 2 of things you need. Soup on sale? An extra bag of TP or Deo. Your still going to use all this stuff. If prices sky rocket, then you saved some money. They certainly won’t be going down dramatically over the next 50 years.

Store some water. Even the CDC, and Fema recommend you store food and water.

Then you have to get more specific on what you think the problem is going to be economiclly. Complete collapse, hyper inflation, ect.
Not as an investment, but as a hedge I would suggest you read up on getting some money out of the US dollar. Do your own homework. This can be gold/silver. It can be Foriegn exchange (watch those premiums). It can be foriegn CD’s, bonds, and so on. FL, I bet has a ton of banks, and you should easily find 5 that will sell you something forign. Like an Aussie CD or market account.

The hard part is this issue, if set off, will be global. Do your homework.

What you have here is a collection of people, quite a minority of the mass of public, who see a problem. Some see it different, and for different reasons.
For some it may be the unsustainable debit. Others the debt ceiling, The Fed, inflation, loss of freedoms, and whatever. If you don’t see any indicators that trouble of sorts is around the corner, you are far behind the curve, indoctrinated by propaganda, and in the most trouble.
Because this list is growing, and each of their circumstances are growing critical you have those awake and paying attention now looking for help and ideas and likeminded folks for ideas and info.
Everyone here, while agreeing on some points and not others, came looking for some ideas or research. Be ideas what to stock up on, help painting the picture of what such a crisis would look like, or others to join up with.
The point is they are all reading, researching, and learning. But why? It is simple. In THIS country we have had relative stability for so long (lifetime perspective) that for most what such a crisis would look like is hard to imagine. You cannot plan or prepare for something you don’t understand. I personally think it is great that people are trying to learn, and even if on the wrong track, they are leaps and bounds ahead of those who think life will always be manicures and perms and hot showers.
So for people like issac who are trying, and those who just want to whine that there are people out there who think it’s all about to collapse let me say this. If you want to know the future, read the History. Boy I never thought I would say that. In fact I was the kid who said I will never use this in school.
Issac. Stores will pop up all over the place that will barter or exchange. Near me there are already 6. I got a gene store, chainsaws and service type that has a sign in the door saying they will buy your gold or silver. You won’t be shaving anything, you will trade it in for the spot price of that metal and use the cash for your purchase, or just use the metal directly. States are already legalizing other tenders and stores are already offering to take your gold and silver instead of cash.
For those who don’t have money to prepare and wonder what they can do. It’s a harder battle, no one denies you that. However know that even people with money struggle as well as it can be overwhelming. The point is simply, do what you can, when you can. You would be surprised how quickly it adds up. I know you read over that statement with a super sense of yeah right. It really does and you really need to understand this. Do what you can, don’t break the bank, don’t get in a position where you can’t make rent because you bought a years supply of food. Do what you can, and soon over time you will begin to feel better.
I have to comment on JC’s post. You are leaving out all the relevant facts. World food inventories were at dangerous levels before the floods, tornado’s and volcano’s this year. That is according to the World health organization. Where do you imagine it is now, that they chose to break the levies in the south to flood farms to save lots of houses for example. Enough food for everyone? You should do some more homework. Where is everyone going to get this food? Off the back of a truck of FEMA or the red cross? Yeah that might look doable when its just a tornado in Joplin, but the whole nation? Yeah you should do some more homework.
People, ALL PEOPLE, have 3 basic Needs. 1. Food and water. 2. Shelter. 3. Propagation. When these are threatened even the best, most honorable, and god fearing man will kill. We can all strive for a euphoric world with no problems, but to dismiss this fact could prove fatal. When people are starving, sociological laws are the first to go out the door. When they are nearing death, moral laws will go too. Humans have a distinct ability to rationalize anything, and understanding that this includes killing you so they can live is key.
At the end of the day, What it all boils down to, can be said in very simple terms. Regardless of the trigger, regardless of the event, regardless of the outcome. The more dependent on others you are, the more hosed you will be. If you can’t provide food and water and shelter for yourself you really need to re-evaluate your direction. At the same token, you cannot survive alone. While years can go by with you living alone, sooner or later you will be outnumbered or unequipped. So strive for independence, but accept local likeminded neighbors who have something you need, and hope you have something they need as well. We can still be charitable to kind folks, but your whole world of who you trust, and when will be tested.
Look to past nations who dealt with social collapse, inflation, political coo’s, or sever hardships. Talk to people who survived these events, how they did it, and how it changed them and how they look at life. I have talked to people who survived the economic collapse of the USSR, others from inflation in Brazil, and the holocaust and on and on. If you really want ideas what/how to prepare for incase, you cannot imagine the things no-one is thinking of that people who lived through these events found to be of value.

Oh. And plant a garden. Cheap, easy, and of no downside. If your poor and this is all you can do, sleep well for you are LEAPS ahead of everyone else.

All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can be used to command the party.

- Mao Tse Tung -

In many (if not most) countries on Earth (yes, that same planet where there are around 200 other countries besides the U.S….) people have actually lived on that same food (rice, beans, wheat…) that you so dramatically stock for survival, for many many centuries! Some of those countries are closer than you think: Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America all have grains like rice, beans and corn tortillas as their basic diet. And if you look at Africa of Asia, more of the same or even less…millions of people!
If or when the U.S. collapses, you guys are going to have to face the fact that you’ll no longer be the world’s no. 1 economic and military super power, which doesn’t mean that people are automatically going to start running around killing each other for food! For God sake’s, there are some 6 billion people that eat everyday without having to kill anyone! I believe, for now (the world’s food supply, overpopulation and starvation in some undeveloped countries is another issue), it’s safe to say there’s enough food for everyone. Being no. 2 or no. 100 only means you probably won’t be able to dine or take out every other day, buy an iPod, iPad, iPhone, iMac, 100-inch flat screen, home theater, TIVO, PS3, Xbox, 2 SUV’s, 2-door fridge, microwave and conventional ovens, washing machine, dryer (OMG!!! you are going to have to dry your clothes out in the sun!! NOOOOOO!!!!)…and every other piece of junk they sell you on TV with money you didn’t actually have in the first place….like up until a few years ago, most americans did. Most of the WORLD (even industrialized first-world countries) gets through their lives without any of this!
I pity the fact that you spoiled brats really just can’t wait for the lamest excuse to take out your personal arsenal and blow each other’s head off with your $500 stock of precious little green-tipped bullets……for beans!
Just get off the high horse you’ve been riding for nearly a century and deal with it! It’s the circle of life: there have been political, economical and military super powers through out human history, and I believe there are still some arabs, greeks, egyptians, italians, germans, spanish, british and french in some parts or the world…or did they suddenly become extinct once their empire fell?
After the ride you guys have had, you still don’t get it. It’s not “survival”, “evacuation” or “organized communities with 24-hour watch posts”…it’s especially NOW when you guys should be thinking of helping each other out, instead of shooting the first guy asking for help. Really…it’s just sad.
I wish every one of you guys good luck. I personally have many american friends and know for fact they don’t agree with the views posted here (thank God!). I just hope they don’t run into one of your little “communities” when all this goes down.
Peace.

Today is 6/13/11…looks like the above failed to happen.

Why are you in poverty? You are not willing to sacrifice to win. You are a bum. You are disabled. You are mentally challenged, elderly, lazy, stupid, addicted to drugs- the worst and most devastatingly harmful drug is self-pity.

Get over the excuses and get off the couch. Do something with your life.

Wealthy or poor, if you want to survive, get off your butt and do something- anything. A resourceful person could be dropped off in the jungle and survive. This is hardly a jungle. The lazy, will not survive. Excuses will not feed you. Whining will not save you. Selfishness will only ruin your life.

If you think you are in poverty because you don’t have as many iPods as the Jone’s, or a ten thousand dollar car, or any number of things that would be completely worthless in a world of less, go back to the tv induced coma you live for.

im afraid alot of people are already in my position, its too late for them to save any money to buy any of the stuff on your list….

obey the constitution

I live on a farm and operate a cattle company. I have breeding stock here at the house and a feedlot near the auction barn in town. I personally do not buy into the gold/silver/metal craze. I plan to trade with beef/water/fuel/food, things people will need. I will plan to stay on my property and defend it rather than to take off on foot. I have too many supplies with more than enough people willing to defend it so they can have access to it.

I have a 10,000 gallon fuel tank that I use to fuel farm equipment with that will be good to have in crisis. Generators, solar backup, tools, satelite communication, phone, tv, internet. I have a private well and private septic and have converted all heating elements of my home to electric for use with the generator and solar power system. And if it would come down to it, I have a transfer tank in my truck with a reversible pump if I need to find a way to get more fuel.

Hunting and defense is something that concerns me. I have different types of weapons and a community that I shoot with that knows how to use them. Everything from pistols and shotguns, to semi-auto rifles, to bolt action sniper rifles and different cartridges for different needs. Medium rounds for hunting and general protection, and I have high power rounds for my sniper rifle that can disable a vehicle or penetrate armor if needed. I have friends that were in the marines. My brother and I were both army cav scouts. For ammo my brother and I both reload brass and when a gun is not necessary we have weapons that do not require ammo. Hatchets, knives, bows. You can throw hatchets and knives for food or whatever you need and close combat. I have taken bladed weapons training, classes are not hard to find. Training with these weapons will come in handy if you cannot reload ammo or eventually when supplies run out. With any system, rationing will be important, whether it is food, fuel, ammo, medical supplies.

Medical knowledge is also a concern for me. I would have to turn to my wife in this department. She is an anesthesiologist right now and works in an operating room 40 hours a week. You, by yourself, will probably not be able to survive. I know how to do alot of things, but if I needed stiched up, I would bleed to death without help. A strong community will be key in my opinion. The idea of walking into the woods with a backpack just doesn’t appeal to me. It probably depends on the whole “fight or flight” theory of how different people think.

I always keep mechanical supplies in my shop too. Oil, lubricants, batteries, sprays, parts. I always have spare tires, brake pads, and grease for my truck, always.

Well that is alot of what I would plan on doing in the event of a collapse of our way of life. I left some things out, but people get the idea.

I don’t understand why some people try to tell you what not to do. Tell people what you do, help them with new ideas or leads on other areas to do homework on. Like some have posted they cannot bug out. Then you should focus on preparing for hunkering down. What works for some, won’t work for others. If pigs work for you, and you have the means to raise them great. I encourage you do go that route. Then when your starving and I need a bath, i can bater with you for some soap. If we all prepared the same way, we would be found wanting.

Why can’t everyone help provide ideas and options or partnerships. Instead everyone wants to dictate and act like they know best for all. Is that not what got us in this mess?

Think for yourself, or be a slave. There is no in between.

1. Survival knowledge: wild food recognition, utilization of anything you find, building shelter, finding water and purification, woods navigation, physical endurance (need to work out), mental health (most important), trapping, fishing, etc.

2. Homesteading preparation: salt, meat sources (chickens, pigs, goats, etc.), water sources, vegetable sources, firewood (ability to gather it), dog (protection), food preservation knowledge, guns, ability to repair clothing, know how to make leather, wild food recognition on your property, composting knowledge, garden tools, hand wood working tools, metal working tools (blacksmithing), basic medications, basic medications for animals, literature on homesteading skills, bible, alternative power sources, btw canning won’t work unless you buy reusable lids (which are available), etc.

3. Money – gold, silver, and some cash. Need to be balanced. None of these will have any value unless they can be proved that they are legitimate. Will you take someone’s word that it is real silver or gold? No because at this point no one will trust anyone. There are many shams on silver and gold right now make sure it isn’t layered or plated.

@Smitty……Yep Army training is good, done that, survival training is also good, done quite a bit of that. Info, Intel very important. Also important to understand the Demography of where you live and have done an analysis of the area/state you live in. Further most people will only be 1 tank full of gas from where they live, so the idea of roving gangs will be mainly for the burning water and power empty cities, east of the Mississippi river, (good luck getting over that). Also Smitty you state;

“Now if, at some time in the future, you stumble across a well organized community of people (provided their perimeter security personnel don’t shoot you out of fear)…”

Yes this is what you want to emulate, and one of those “very well” organized communities would be mine here in Montana. We won’t shoot you out of fear Smitty, we are too well trained for that. We will give you a chance to join after going through a very very rigorous interview. Then if we accept you, since you did not bring any ammo, weapons, food or essential gear except for want you could carry on your back, you will be expected to pull more then your fair share…..sorry. Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics.” Omar Bradley. You can read my write up on Demography on my site.

Sorry if I come across as a arrogant, but I’ve been doing this for a very long time, and will help out anyone that asks for it. Give a person a fish, feed him for a meal, teach one to fish and feed one for life.

If you are just starting out getting prepped, my site may give you some helpful info.

Jäger
Jäger´s last [type] ..General Info for Planning and Preparing for SHTF Scenarios-Events

Smitty is right, but does not go far enough. You must have the ability to survive if/when you need to bug out. You need to know techniques both military and past tribal in your area as applicable.
However you must customize your survival plans around several facts. 1. That you may need to toss them all out the door and improvise. 2. That there is no one solution for all possibilities. 3. That it will vary from person to person- I.e. your parents situations.
Planning ahead provides insight on how to come out on top, or closer thereto after everything implodes and rebuilding starts. Those who depend on just survival skills will have to rely on them longer than those who had learned survival skills and invested for when the rebuilding begins.

Smitty is completely correct that you must know these skills. However learning these skills whilst preparing for other options and avenues at the same time is very do-able when done in advance. And the more you do and learn, the better off you will be.

It is also about teaching. Think about it, people do not even know how to make their own soap anymore. Cure meat in a root cellar without your bed bath and beyond food dehydrator. Canning? Yeah I would guess this is about 2% of the world population. How about medical tricks and wives tales from before the wonder of pharmacy drugs? Simple skill sets are lost to time for the masses, at least for now. Get a hold of this information, print it out and put it in a binder and memorize as much as you can.

Stock your food. Stock your gold, silver or whatever. Stash water. AMMO. Whatever you can do to better sleep at night and help others who still have their head up their butts and even laugh at you now.

The key is to be prepared, in any event. If you can bunker down at home, or if you can survive on the road. I see nothing wrong with doing both. The day may come you have to walk away from your food and home, and if you have skills and plans in advance then your cooler head will prevail.

Setup backup plans. If you have to head north or east, or whatever have a plan where you can go. Put some of your supplies there as well. The more places you have supplies stashed the better. (partnerships can help, but pose other issues as well)

The point is, there is nothing you should not do or consider in terms of preparing. There is plenty you should not do in terms of survival. See that difference. Do not stay at your house in the heart of downtown city just because you cannot accept walking away from your hard work and supplies. Do not underestimate how quickly the best of men will turn to killers to survive longer than you. It’s not human nature, its animal instinct and has happened before.

To wrap up, follow Smitty’s advice. Follow others advice. Do it all to the extent you can. If this goes down as an economic issue, people will suffer and many may die, but the majority of people will (as a whole) will survive. There will also be those who will help you. It’s not that everyone is out to get you in this downturn, people will group up.

Your best bet is to look at how it has happened elsewhere before. What did people do to survive the great depression? The Weimar Republic? Russia? There are tons of examples.

If you have family that can’t go mobile, then you have to plan on this fact. Perhaps you should be able to bug out sooner while cars that are on the road are not yet major targets? It’s all about what is in your ability to do now. If you can’t get a tent on the arctic shelf with a ton of supplies to stay warm and get to it before its all really bad then don’t try.

Personally, I think everyone should have a wood stove, some food, a second location even less remote with similar supplies. Bug out bags with supplies to help acquire what you will need on the road, and some likeminded people to setup a network of backup plans. This is where timeshare setups seems better to me then the vacation spot of past years.

Also, while you might gag at the idea now, consider looking into meat bread rabbits. No other animal produces more meat to a lower cost of care. One breading pair can feed a family of 4 for a year. (in the depression days these people were called Hoover hogs and armadillos in the south). The meat is healthier than anything you are likely eating now. 2 years ago I would have ignored you had you said this to me. 3 years ago if I thought like this my wife would have never married me. Now we still have not eaten rabbit, nor killed any, but do have them, ready to bread with food for them for a period of time. Look into it for the bunker down at home situations.

The best way to close is to say prevention. If you see a way to prevent the collapse of the dollar, by voting or any other way, you owe it to do your part. I don’t see it being avoided at this time, but as Americans you know what I mean. If you can help.. do so. Wake up your friends, and family. America has not defended its republic for too long, and this is the price.

When I want to place a larger order I use APMEX. for their discounts on large orders. They are fair priced, professional, user friendly website/ordering, fast, excellent quality coins, they have been around for years and have a good reputation. I buy seconds, rounds, Buffalos, but you couldn’t tell they’re seconds because they ALL look new. Plus they have a 800 # in which you can call and ask all the questions you want, friendly guys there. A feature I like is they shoot me an email of my purchase agreement for my records, then another email alerting me that they have received my check with the arrival date and tracking info.. And it does arrive by the date they give, sometimes earlier.
Remember when you press send, the order is in and you have signed a contract, no changing your mind.
Also I would send a check, they do give a grace period if you are late with the check by a few days,… usually.
They also have descreet packaging and return address so the nosey letter carrier won’t be telling the neighorhood you’ve got 20 lbs. of silver.
Free advice, …. take every extra dime and buy silver, the dollar is history.

God bless!

If you think that “survival” means that you’re to have a house in the country with plenty of food, gold, and a solar generator…ask Randy Weaver or David Koresh how well it worked out for them. All they dealt with was a few hundred coordinated people with rifles. Change those situations to hundreds (then thousands) of hungry people and then think if you have the man-power to guard a perimeter 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Here’s some REAL survival advice. And it’s completely free. Learn the survival techniques taught to the military (ie Army Infantry, Rangers, SF, Marine Corps, Navy SEALs, etc.). Watch shows by Les Stroud and Bear Grylls. Read books or websites that teach personal survival. Learn the principals of the Light Infantry (ie staying off roads, avoiding populated areas, getting to staying in the wood line). Understand that survival is NOT about how much stuff you have to defend, but about how much stuff you can carry. Understand that survival from thousands (or millions) of hungry people will require you to be nomadic.

Change your thinking about survival. Instead of thinking “how much food do I have?” Think “what can I carry in a ruck sack that will aid me in getting food in the woods” Instead of thinking “how much water do I have?” Think “what can I carry in a ruck sack that will aid me in drinking clean water that I find?” Instead of thinking “I need to maintain shelter from the elements.” Think “what can I carry in a ruck sack that will keep me dry and give me shelter?” Instead of thinking “how many boxes of ammo can I stock?” Think “how much ammo can I carry”?

What about medical supplies? A standard “first aid” kit has a bunch of stuff that won’t need in it. Plus, which first aid kit should you get? The big one? The really big one? Which one is best? Do a little research to find out the absolute essentials needed in a survival first aid kit. Taking a Red Cross standard first aid class is worth a lot more than gold.

In short, prepare to go mobile. Prepare as if you will need to go on foot. Plan the quickest (and safest) routes from your front door to the woods. Plan at least three routes OUT of town. This means you AND your family. Everyone on foot, quietly, expediently, and smartly. Avoiding any authorities (if any still exist at that point) and contact with other people. Survive on your own or with your immediate family.

Now if, at some time in the future, you stumble across a well organized community of people (provided their perimeter security personnel don’t shoot you out of fear)…then maybe they’ll take you in. But if you don’t have any relevant skills to add to their community then they most likely won’t let you in. So you’ll have to be self sustaining until you come across a large enough community that can afford to be more accepting. But don’t count finding such a community.

People say “prepare for the worst but hope for the best”. Well I just told you how to truly prepare for the worst. And it didn’t cost you a dime.

Who am I? I was a Light Infantry Soldier that had the opportunity to get some of the best survival training that is available; also served in Iraq for a year. I was also an EMT/Paramedic for 8 years.

If you have any doubt as to whether or not the survival information that I have provided for you is correct or not…don’t ask the peddlers of gold, seeds, solar generators. Ask an Army or marine Corps Infantry Soldier, an Army Ranger, Army SF Soldier, Marine Corps Force Recon, Navy SEAL, Air Force Combat Controller, or Air Force Para-rescue. They’ll all tell you the same thing.

Preppedinwv wrote me an article: CLICK HERE

Hmmm. Not sure if I can understanding that logic. When the dollar turns to dust that is when silver will be the most valuable.
Now if you’re saying you will get last minute dollars to make store purchases, I can understand that.
However, I believe when the dollar is completely worthless silver will skyrocket and be the most common form of barter/money.
I’ll hold on to my silver as long as I can.
But who really knows now what we will be doing a year from now? I’m shocked daily by this fascist govt.. Who knows what they have up their sleeves for the masses.
I think things will be clearer down the road.
Wisdom tells me to keep investing in silver no matter the cost. Only the foolish will hold on to dollars.
MK

It’s great that you bought 3yrs ago. I wish I started 3yrs ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJNIuZOTReg&NR=1

Check out this video with Alex Jones and Pastor Lindsay Williams. It’s a 5 part series but definately worth the time to listen to. It will blow you away!!

Folks silver is up to $35.96 an ounce to purchase! Get it before it explodes, which will be soon!
The Middle East is on fire and Iran is sending two warships to the Suez Canal. All this can only result in one thing, higher gas prices, which means higher food prices.
So stock up now!

God bless you all!
Mary kay

Prep now or be left wanting.

What do you think about it? These people have been around for many years and I thought they were fair.

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Secondly, prepare spiritually. You and your family may not be destined to survive. A bad tooth in the country will kill you. Pray for guidence and be prepared to lead.

Lastly, plan now to prosper over the coming bad years. Do not form group associations now. Wait. The signs down the road will lead you to who to associate with in the future. Survive by living conservative, seek others like you later not now. Never stand out in the crowd.

Your contented mind will guide you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMokBM6caRE

Or, you can buy online. You will have to do your research to get comfortable with your online sellers as I don’t know of any in the UK.

Silver coins will be worth more now than what is stated above in the article since it is already almost $30 an ounce at spot – so, there will be a premium over this.

If you really want to read a great book about silver and gold investing, check out Mike Maloney’s book – it is very clear and a good guide to doing it right

If the guide or course does not thoroughly explain how to set up in all situations, it’s as if you aren’t prepared at all.

Imagine being totally stocked up at home but being at the mall when disaster strikes!

This free survival mini-course is a lead in to the best course I’ve ever taken and I highly recommend it to everyone I meet.
Cosmo´s last [type] ..Self Defense

So learn all you can about survival even if just watching Man VS Wild, Bear Grylls can teach you alot.

So, i reccomend lots of guns to protect you and your loved ones, things will get crazy when people begin to panic. They WILL kill you and your family for food.

My everyday carry for this situation consists of 2- .40 Cal’s, 2-.45 Cal’s, 1-.38 SPL, 1-12 ga. pump and a knife. That is with three magazine’s per pistol, about 120 rounds at anytime if I need it. Plus i have about 1,000 rounds per weapon stockpiled. So if I encounter a small group or kind of large group I can fend them off.

My wife will also carry 2- .380′s. Plus it would be wise to have a 30-30 or 30.06 for hunting/sniper security.

If you are in a small group make sure you always have someone posted on watch 24 hours a day. Pick a spot high enough to have 360 degree security at all times. I am in a pretty good position for this event, the elevation where i live is over 3,000 ft above sea level( in case of a tsunami,etc) and also have 3 fully stocked ponds with bass, catfish you name it, 275 acres of woodland, and several freshwater springs and coal mine shafts.

I am willing and prepared to do whatever it takes to protect me and mine. ( Also one last weapon suggestion, alot of ppl think an AR-15 or M4 is the way to go, they are expensive as is the ammo. go with an AK-47 half the price for the weapon, bigger bullets and way cheaper ammo. Example: 1,000 5.56 rounds= $500.00+, 1,000 7.62 rounds=$150.

If there are any serious ppl that are awake in southern west virginia please email me if you want to get together and learn survival techniques and learn what supplies to stock. pv2burrell@live.com

The only time it may not be is when food,water and shelter are all the world has left to fight for.
