My newest post: The Fed
Do you know who or what the Federal Reserve is? A surprising history on the Federal Reserve reveals relevant facts about how our economy works…and why its unsustainable. http://bit.ly/gXcshS

Sorry everyone! I’ve been extremely busy taking this whole blog to the next level. I’ve stopped using tumblr as the main platform for a variety of reasons - though I think I may still populate this tumblr with my normal blog posts. I need to research the SEO implications of that.
But if you found my content interesting - please check out my new site: Preparing for financial...

Bug.out.Bag
A standard part of preparation is putting together a bag that you can quickly grab and leave with during a state of emergency. Here is the BASIC list I’m working on. It is a work in progress. There are three levels. Level 1 is the most important. Level 2 is second…etc…
Philosophy:
a. A bag that you can Hike with to a safe zone. (I.E. safer meeting house).
b. A bag...

I hope everyone is having a blast. I’m going to be brief today.
Don’t be afraid to talk about the future. Don’t be fearful and don’t be fear mongering. That’s the work of fools. But - if you sincerely think next Christmas is going to be significantly different, don’t be afraid to share your opinion and ask what your family is doing. You will likely be...

Free Gold education.
Keeping a sharp and educated mind is one of the main resources you can have for predicting the future and preparing for it. Not just for “security” but also for opportunity.
Over the weekend I posted a link to a lecture that painted a fact driven picture of our economic future. That lecture has since been removed from the internet.
Today, Shuan Connell over at Stand Strong...

If you could see only one thing...
Last week H2OCory alerted me to a live 90 minute presentation that Mike Dillard was giving Monday night. The presentation blew me away (along with 86,000 other people) because it succinctly described what is happening in our economy on so many levels. I knew much of what he was presenting, but he put the entire picture together in a very clear and concise way unlike anything I’ve seen.

First Aid: Part Two
I’m going to get right back into the shopping list.

1/2 oz mini bottle of Povidone-Iodine solution,
30ml BandAid-brand antiseptic wound rinse (others ok too),

other swabs are small and light on alcohol. You will use these to disinfect all your tools before using them on...

First Aid: Part one
First Aid
This topic is huge. So grab some hot tea. I have spent several hours doing research. What you decide to go with depends on your philosophy. Mine has always been priority/likelihood first, and then mobility. When I prepare, I want to prepare for things that I think are most likely to happen. In addition I want something I can hike with. Portable. Things will be sacrificed in terms...

Our greatest opportunity
Those who prepare for the worst of times will only know the best of times.
Challenges are coming. So we can be victims, or turn them into opportunities. This upcoming event of “economic collapse” – whether this year, or in five years, will be the single biggest opportunity of people living today. What are you doing with the future? Ignoring it? Depressed over it?
Seizing it?
The purpose...

Tools?
Basic tools are the next priority. We take tools for granted in today’s society, but it’s extremely hard to do anything without a simple tool. Here is a list of tools that I believe are top priority. All of them have been chosen for functionality and for hike-ability. It is assumed you already have some basic tools in your house – so the major focus of this post is making sure you have tools...
Required reading
This article is critical to understanding the likely happenings over the next few months with the economy. I urge my readers to take 10 minutes and read it. My paradigm for economic collapse isn’t just speculation. I hope this article shows the thought behind how this is a very real and potentially soon threat.

Practically protecting
A Practical Self Defense Tool: The Firearm
How far are you willing to go to protect the innocent? If you are still uncertain, I recommend renting “Attack on Darfur” from redbox (Rated R). You may discover new things about yourself.
I explained my reasoning behind self defense in this post. We have chosen to invest in firearms for self defense and hunting.
I asked the following questions...

One who defends?
How can I call myself a Christian and support self defense?
I believe this is a very fair question and one asked by Christians and Non-Christians alike. God is Love. Love is self sacrifice. How can you be love and decide to injure or take another’s life?
If this question seems ridiculously silly, especially if you consider yourself a Christian – than I would propose you haven’t spent enough...

The third step
I hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving. Family and being with the ones you love will always be one of the key foundations of real happiness. Happiness isn’t anything unless it’s shared. Heck – the very act of sharing experiences create happiness.
My last two posts explained that our first priority was preparing for an economic collapse where we will be able to stay at home (or in the home...

Clothing and the homeless
To recap. First priority is surviving through a gradual economic collapse: a house or home situation. Step one: Water. Step two: Clothing.
Three hours in the wrong elements could find you and yours suffering from hypothermia.
There are several lines of thought. I haven’t made my decision yet, but the most interesting is 20 year old foam technology. It’s a completely different way of...

Chinese Missile?
I found this news story to be somewhat relevant - especially since I was posting about China in my last post.
From world net daily - California Contrail likely a Chinese missile
Although the U.S. Defense Department and North American Aerospace Defense Command have speculated publicly that the unidentified contrail of a projectile soaring into the skies off the California coast – and...

Three situations
If it’s all going to go under - C. and I decided we need to figure out our priorities.
We have three situations we need to think about:
1. Staying at a home. (Ours or a family members)
2. Leaving populated areas on foot.
3. Leaving populated areas with a vehicle.
The likelihood of this collapse making us want to leave populated areas is very low in our opinion - and since we are...

[ the basics ]
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping to get different results. Our government is currently insane. I don’t really mean JokerfromBatman insane. More like watching a fly trying to fly out of a window with an open door 3 feet away insane.
So what would you do if you woke up tomorrow and the grocery store shelves were empty…or…a jar of pickles was 20...

I believe the American people are givers and creators. Strong and purposeful. A legacy of resourcefulness and wisdom. I believe once we are united in a common purpose - nothing can stand in our way. I’m giving and enabling by sharing what I’m personally doing to prepare (with a shoestring budget) for possible economic collapse. Some of what I’m doing I will soon share...
