In my opinion, we are very near the end of affordable food storage. Same for any meaningful long term preps that require materials made of steel, although wood seems to be holding out well.
I’m not saying it’s not going to be available, I’m saying you damn well better hurry if you think you need to build barns, sheds, have any tools you don’t already own, create the ability to feed people.... All of that stuff is going to be impossible to get at any price, like ammo. Same with long term food storage items. Get them ASAP. They’ll be available later, at 5 times the price. Another thing I expect to become in huge demand is home-sized solar power systems. 5-20kW systems with battery backup. Panels are crazy cheap right now. Buy them. Lots. Of. Them. |

Quoted: What are people's thoughts on debt? If things truly go to shit debt will not matter. If things "only" mostly go to shit then of course debt would matter. Another thing to think about with debt is the value of the dollar. If the value drops and turns into a Zimbabwe or Venezuelan situation one could (in the early days of it anyway) pay for their debt by selling gold/silver. There would be a small window of opportunity because they'd quickly institute some laws to protect the upper echelons from being screwed in such a manner. View Quote This is my question. How is debt going to matter when 90% of Americans have a home loan. They going to come kick out 90% of 330million? I am in debt over half a million for business use. Would it be cool if it was all paid off, yes. But I also am using modern business and money leverage to grow my business. If it all goes to shit, fuck it come grab the keys and do whatever. I'm not living there.... |

Quoted: i spent 17 years in the army. for every bullet i shot i ate probably 10lbs of food and drank 100 gallons of water and wiped my butt 50 times, and needed light, and heat to be comfortable. ammo and guns are nice, but you need a lot more than that. i think the usa in general will resemble detroit nationally in a few short years with democrats running everything.

If the left succeeds in implementing some of these things, it will provide the right with an opportunity to take back control.

Trust in the President.
The following is a post from Candice Owens. The really good news is Trump reposted it on his Facebook page. Candace Owens:" At the moment, POTUS is sitting on a stack of Trump cards that he's just waiting to unleash...a royal flush! He has court cases that will go to the Supreme Court and thanks to the Texas case, he's now aware how to file them properly...under article 3 not 2...so the SCOTUS will be forced to listen..... He now has the DNI report. Barr stepped down and can now be a witness.....he did his job. Durham is special counsel and can prosecute, in any state.... He's letting civil, criminal and federal courts fail to handle the situation properly.....so he can use military tribunals. He has ALL the data from the NSA, the Kraken supercomputer, the Alice supercomputer and likely many more computers, unknown to us.... He has the dueling electors from 7 state legislatures. He has VP Pence, as the final arbiter of which ballots to accept..... He has the Insurrection Act, the NDAA, the national emergency, the 14th amendment, the 2018 executive order, the 2017 very first EO, the Patriot Act, the FISA warrants, the Declassification of everything, people swearing affidavits by the 1000s. He has all the statistical data being analyzed....along with the videos, emails, phone calls and bank transfer statements.....showing the coordination of the coup d'etat. He has RICO and he has the crimes against humanity videos. Wikileaks just dropped extensive information and Assange will be pardoned. Assange can then openly discuss the murder of Seth Rich.... Now that the governors and secretary of states certified and Biden accepted....they each committed and knowingly agreed to acts of Treason.... Solar Winds was literally just raided and Dominion is closing down, as well. He has the CIA servers, used to change dominion machine votes from Trump to Biden...and he will soon have access to the actual machines, themselves.... He baited the Deep State into staying in DC, so they can be arrested. Biden hasn't accepted any transition money and Harris has still not given up her seat on the senate.... The military has infiltrated Antifa and BLM. He has all their financial records. He knows which politicians took Chinese and Soros money....both Republican and Demorat.... He positioned Christopher Miller as secretary of defense and Ezra-Cohen Watnick as assistant secretary of defense. He literally just wrote an executive order, regarding the military line of succession. Many suspect Watnick to be Q. He is defunding the CIA. He just replaced Kissinger & Allbright on the National Security Advisory Board.....with men loyal to him. The military has been flying planes, far more than usual, all over the country. The Navy just parked mega fleets on both coasts. The 82nd Airborne is preparing for an operation....which is the same group that General Flynn & AG Donoghue were enlisted. Pieces are finally falling into place. POTUS has it all! He is just laying out the pieces and building the narrative. He knows he won and they commited Treason! He set a trap and they walked right in, without hesitation. He gave the Deep State the chance to come clean and try to fix things. They chose Treason! They will all hang, as the result. Patriots in control! Nothing can stop what's coming.". Copied and pasted |

i guess im getting $600 bucks from uncle sam.
Definately not a fortune, but enough to get a few extra things accomplished around the compound. Ill probably use all of it to buy lumber. i need some 3/4 plywood to finish my reloading and ham radio tables, as well as some 1"x12" shelf boards, and 2x4's and plywood to build shelving units in my prep storage room. ( i need 3x shelving units. 12' long, 12' tall and 30" wide. and various other shelving here and there) wood prices still suck though. maybe i can find some used shelving off facebook, or something i can dismantle and reuse the wood and save some bucks. hmmm. |

While I bought them in 2020, in 2021 I'll be getting my Garand & Sandman S. I'll also finish my basement and have a connection for my generator set up to the house, to make it easier to have power if we have outages. Adding to the food stores is a constant priority, but I'm pretty well stocked for now. I'll also be setting up a private range on the property up north now that we're clearing some of the land. That's more of a long term goal tho and isn't that big of a priority. |

Fruit bushes/brambles like blueberries and raspberries. Room for some livestock like chickens, pigs and a cow or two, etc. --You know, a version of food security for the long term. Some decent land for gardening would be welcome as well. I do apple trees and raspberries here, just on a smaller scale. This dumbass liberal city allows up to 4 laying hens, but that doesn't work well on 1/4 acre when you have dogs as well. --Interesting sidenote: I have a friend less than a mile away whose neighbor across the street has several goats . They're on a 1/2 acre lot and the city doesn't know about them. I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 20 acres, if it lays right, will be enough to get me started. |

I grabbed 6. I have purchased the trade in .40 M&P mags several times, so I have plenty of .40 mags but I needed more 9mm mags. I’d recommend anyone going in big time on an order to consider picking up this from Wolff: Wolff M&P Full Size Mag Spring 10 pack I’ve purchased a bunch of the .40 trade ins. Each time I’d mark the mags, and rotate them through during range trips. I’d usually see about half my bags would have trouble with occasional FTF. I bought a 10 pack of springs (you save a good bit buying in bulk) and replaced out the springs on the problem mags. 100% function after that. Note that the 9mm mags snd the .40 mags take the same springs, so if you are also invested in M&P40 you can use in either. I’m going to buy another 10 pack of springs so I can swap out any springs that look questionable. I’d recommend disassembling all of these mags at a minimum. My experience with the used M&P mags are police trade ins, and sone of them were clearly not stored in optimum conditions. |

My question for the group here is : If it all goes to shit and crashes where would the opportunities be to gain wealth?
|

A couple of decades ago I wanted a diesel truck, because I thought if it all went to hell in a handbasket, there would be diesel to keep trucking running. Then I saw Clinton dump millions of gallons of the oil reserve into the market to keep gas prices low.
In 2008/2009 I saw Bush and Obama bailout companies with taxpayer dollars. That has been quadruply doubled with now two payouts to everyone during covid to keep the economy chugging. I have learned that the gov will do whatever it has to do to keep the masses placated, and the masses will happily eat it up and be placated. When tshtf it will hit everybody at the same time. If half the population is bankrupt, your debt won't matter. If banks fail the guy with $500k in the bank is in the same position as the guy with $5 in the bank. Stock up on what you can but don't obsess over it. Be the grey man. Don't advertise. Prepare to do what you can to protect your family and friends. Realize all this may someday cost you your life. |
