So I've been reading the SF for a couple years, and I'm not going to lie, some crazy stuff has been in the past month or so. (mid-east revolutions, tsunami/quake, etc) I was thinking, what crazy thing could happen next. What would be the worst case scenario? Does what's going on right now leave countries open for more bad things to happen to them? Thoughts?
Well, we don't have the $ to support the world, Japan cashed in A LOT of the BONDS that they have with us.
If we continue to give and give and give, we will be broke soon. So I hope that they can get the debt issues worked out soon... The economy is hurting and if we aren't careful, it could get real ugly, real quick.
The best advice I have to anyone is, If you can afford it and need it for your survival, I wouldn't wait to long to get it.
This could be food, water/water filters, protection(guns and ammo), have the proper cloths for the time your going to be gone...don't take only summer cloths if winter will be upon you at your BOL. All bathroom products(enough for atleast a year or 2...now ladies hair spray,gel and makeup and all that other stuff is not needed, You need to have the basic's for everyday survival.
If you can store a few hundred gal. of fuel in proper tanks, do it.
The tools you will need, be it for a equipment or home building, and even gardening...don't forget the seeds you need for planting, and a way to can, or preserve the garden.
The reason for the home building tools is because if you don't own your home outright...IE no mortgage than if you lose your job and it gets reposessed or destroyed you will need to build another, with your blood sweat and tears.
Live your life and enjoy it for what it is.
