How Much Emergency Cash Should You Keep at Home? (If We Have A Regional Disaster Where You Can Bug Out to A Safer Location, Your Cash Should Serve You Well.)

Image
It is the final backup plan for a lot of us in the case of a disaster. A generous supply of cold hard cash to buy our way out of trouble, pick up as many last-minute supplies as possible or to acquire resources that are unavailable to anyone with a credit card in a world where the electricity is out and the internet is down. We frequently talk about having cash for emergencies, but how much cash should you have if the grid goes down? What will you be able to purchase with your doomsday supply and how long would it last in the first place? One of our readers made a recommendation the other day to have between $500 and $1000 in cash for your bug out bag and at the time it prompted me to consider again if this amount makes sense. In my personal preparedness plans I have a supply of cash but I am always trying to figure out if what I have is enough or too much. Will it even matter when TEOTWAWKI comes and how can I best use the cash I have to survive? Why do you need to have cash on hand?

The Great Reset: Planning On How To Survive The Riots, Looting And Civil Unrest When SHTF After The Coming Economic Collapse (US cities exploded—more than 150 times—into violent upheaval)

Image
We can see the signs of a coming economic collapse, but that does us no good whatsoever if we fail to act. No, we can’t prevent what is coming, but we can certainly prepare to minimize the pain when it all comes down. When the government debt is no longer payable and the government checks can’t be covered or the money printing to make it all keep going causes hyperinflation, there will be a lot of civil unrest. Unhappy people who either aren’t getting their government checks or people who are unhappy that their government checks won’t go far enough as 5% becomes the monthly inflation rate instead of the annual inflation rate. So if we have the benefit of foresight and we see it coming, just what can we do to survive when it all comes down? Let’s take a look at three specific things you can to do survive the riots and looting that will make the streets a very dangerous place to be when the economic  Be able to stay home The safest place during a riot is in your home.

First Items That Become Scarce In A War-Torn Country, Several Items Can Become Difficult to Acquire Due to Various Reasons Such As Disrupted Supply Chains, Damaged Infrastructure, Economic Instability, And Restricted Movement.

Image
Life can be tough nowadays, but most of us are lucky enough to have never known true hardship: the type that our grandparents and great grandparents faced during the years of the Great Depression. But despite how hard life was back then, where there was a will, there was almost always a way. So many people suffered extreme financial hardship during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and in turn that led to some pretty extreme frugality. The phrase “use it up, wear it out, make do or do without” was popularized during this era, and for good reason. People had to get creative to make ends meet, and one of the ways they did this was by saving, reusing and repurposing absolutely everything. What we wouldn’t think twice about tossing today was as good as gold back then. The most valuable items were, well, pretty much anything. But in general, the more uses you could get from a single item, the more valuable it was. In a war-torn country, several items can become difficult to acquire due to

What are the stages of society collapse? (Once a breakdown starts it will be unstoppable and it will completely overwhelm a city within just a few days)

Image
In the history of the world, nations and even empires have risen, then declined and were lost to time, leaving only artifacts behind for archaeologists to piece together what happened.  From our vantage point, it’s easier to see what happened, the slow decline in so many areas that finally led to a collapse.  Fortunately, we understand today many of the factors that have to be in place.  Unfortunately, even knowing these signs of decline may not be enough to slow or stop the momentum of your nation’s collapse.  In this video, we will lay out the eight signs of imminent collapse.  You may recognize one or all eight in your country’s recent history.  Having them all doesn’t guarantee that a collapse is inevitable, but it makes it more probable, especially if you have them all to a high degree. Here are the eight signs of imminent societal collapse. A shocking video that not many of you have seen!!! King Salman, Trump and Melania sample traditional Saudi dates and coffee This is one of t

How do people react to moving from a high to a low standard of living? (Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living.)

Image
T he forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths. Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living. Easy credit and instant gratification have created a nation of whining, self absorbed, entitlement minded people with no moral or mental toughness. Doug Casey believes we are headed for what he calls a super depression created by the ending of a debt super cycle. The bigger the debt cycle the bigger the depression that follows. That’s how reality works and most people are not prepared for reality. When this depression, which has already started, gets momentum, it will overwhelm the plans of a society that is expecting to get things like social security, pensions and payouts from retirement plans they have paid into for many years. All of those things will disappear almost overnight and leave society gasping and stupefied over what to do. Thei

How Would A Post-Apocalyptic Society Function Without Electricity And Running Water? (There were many people in America who didn't have electricity and running water well into the 1940s.)

Image
For a person to survive without electricity and running water is actually quite easy.   There were still many people in America who didn't have electricity and running water well into the 1940s.   Even in Boston there were people on the outskirts who still used outhouses into the 1930s. My mother told of recurring spring project where all the neighborhood men would get together and help each other dig a new "soil pit" and move the outhouse from the old pit to the new one, cover over the old one, then dig up the one from the previous year so the cured "soil" could now be used as fertilizer. This brings up an important point. In a modern society where the electricity and water failed there would be no way to flush toilets and eventually the sewer pipes would fill up with waste. Modern sewers require a certain flow generated by waste water to move the waste to the treatment plants. A rain storm can help, but these don't happen frequently enough to clear the sew
