      What's going on with silver

      I still think PMs are a good investment for the same reasons (mainly inflation) as they were at $12 / oz. Every time they're discussed here, some commentors say that bullets or food are better investments. They're right, to a point. PM are better in the event of slow collapse, in that you'll...

      minimum wage argument

      I meant to add that I'm comforted to see so many people here who 'get it' when it comes to work and economics.

      minimum wage argument

      Some people are simply not skilled enough - yet - to earn the minimum wage. One way to look at the minimum wage law is that it prohibits hiring these people. If they could be hired for $4 or $5 an hour, they could learn basic job skills: getting up in time, dealing with others, taking...

      10 Things to do before The Economy Collapses (FerFal)

      I think a generator is a bad idea. If shtf and the electricity never comes back, you will run out of fuel. More likely, you will run out of fuel in a few weeks anyway. Our forefathers survived without electricity. Learn about them. Ever been in a cave, or a root cellar? Below ground, there...

      Silver if the dollar fails?

      Silver does not reflect the worth of the dollar; it's inversely related. The stronger the dollar is, the more silver you can buy with it, i.e., the lower the price of silver. Conversely, the weaker the dollar is, the more dollars it takes to buy 1 oz. of silver, i.e., the price of silver goes...

      Silver if the dollar fails?

      agreed. We'd all be safe if every single person would prepare, with enough food and water, etc. for his own family. Alas, we'll be doing well if 10% of the population does. "Yeah" will be sorry to learn that the 10% includes a fair number of folks in and around Paragon, who will take care of...

      Best Deal EVER at Kroger.

      once you store up a lot of preps, you can cycle them by using them yourself and donating the rest when the expiration date gets near. (The food pantry will distribute what you donate within days.) replace when you see sales like this one at Krogers, and repeat.

      What to put in a get home bag...

      Agreed. For some of us, "getting home" means hiking 40 miles through the country; for others, it could be a dangerous 10 mile walk through urban terrain. The former might need to camp a night or two, while the other may need to focus on keeping moving and self-defense. be prepared.

      What have you done this week to prep?

      Bought a bunch of emergency medical supplies, and some dental supplies - all from Amazon. I read that some of the victims in the AZ shooting were saved because a local cop (may have been an EMT - can't remember) took it upon himself to buy 1st aid kits, including clotting material (I think it...

      Buying actual precious metals and their funds

      If people don't borrow to buy it, or buy so much that they can't pay their bills (we saw people doing both in real estate), they should be ok. Unlike stocks or bonds, no piece of gold or silver has ever become absolutely worthless.

      Buying actual precious metals and their funds

      I think, as with any investment strategy, diversity is the key. We should be prepping for any and all scenarios - whether SHTF now or whether the SHTF when our kids are taking care of us. Plan for the near term now, with food and guns, etc. If you get that done, there is nothing wrong with...

      flashlight at sams

      I don't know if it's still going on, but a couple of weeks ago Tractor Supply had 10 small L.E.D. flashlights on sale for $10. There are obviously better lights, e.g. Mag, but if you want to equip a whole family and all of your cars with a flashlight, these are darn good at $1 apiece.

      Power outage - Neighbors don't have a clue

      I think this is just another example of why operational security (OPSEC) is important, and why it is also important to encourage others to prepare. It would never happen, but wouldn't the perfect situation for each of us be that everyone was prepared? For those people who have asked you...

      Bow and arrows

      This observation, that hunting will be a very unreliable food source does bear repeating here. Buying and storing food now is critical to any realistic shtf plan.

      Where to start?

      All good advice except, personally, the thought of getting a generator has never appealed to me. If shtf, my plan is to go "amish" immediately. Forget about your big screen TV, etc. And, if you want to use smaller stuff, figure out how to run it from your vehicle's 12V outlets. One strategy...

      Inner Circle and Looter Mentality

      I think it is important to share prepping ideas here. Ideally, everyone in America would have a year's worth of food, medicine, etc., and then no one would be a threat to us or our families. (I do not condone anyone's plans for "living off the land" that is not theirs - shtf or not.) That...

      Canned meat.

      If you want to go the easy route (I do) I always found Kroger's version of Spam, called "Treet" was the cheapest. Food has gone up a lot in the last couple of months, but it used to be $.99 where Spam was $2+. Just go to that canned meat aisle and look for how many calories you can buy for...

      Storing in a crawl space

      I have a lot stored in my crawl space. I pulled some rice recently (that I had repackaged in a big clear plastic container which had originally been full of pretzels from sam's club. It was fine. I've never tried, but a lot of people claim that you can ask baker or restaurants for their...

      Obama closing part of Arizona to Americans?

      Arizona This prohibition of law abiding Americans' entry into this park, while at the same time doing not a damn thing to keep out illegal invaders, amounts to surrender by our worthless federal government. Build a fence!

      Obama closing part of Arizona to Americans?

      How was America built by illegals? Even the first settlements were purchased from the Indians (who similarly had migrated to NA from Asia). Further, subsequent generations of our ancestors came here knowing that they'd have no free ride, but only the chance to earn a living. Plus, they signed...
