Prepare for an Economic Crisis
If I told you that you need to prepare for a potential weather disaster by stockpiling food, water and other essential items, you’d probably respond by saying, “So, what else is new?”
You’ve heard it all before, and maybe you live in an area of the country that very rarely experiences serious weather problems. Maybe you think that kind of advice is important for people facing the threat of hurricanes and tornados, but not as much for you.
But, you know what is probably just as likely to cause an emergency situation in this country as a weather disaster? Just take a look at what the stock market has been doing and you’ll have the answer.
It goes up and down more often than an elevator in a busy hotel. And one of these days, the stock market will go down to the basement level and keep going down until we plunge into a serious depression that will make the 2008 recession seem like good times.
Even if you don’t think that extreme weather is likely to cause you to become dependent upon whatever food and water you’ve stockpiled, please understand that an economic crisis would be just as bad… probably worse, because it will last longer.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. You need to get serious about stockpiling plenty of non-perishable food and clean drinking water. An economic crisis will result in shortages of both, not to mention severe price gouging for what remains available.
But that’s not all. You will also need fuel, so keep your vehicles gassed up and fill up as many other gas receptacles as you can. Cash is another item you will need in an economic crisis. Keep plenty on hand now if you are able. And finally, if you own guns, make sure you have enough to protect your family, property and belongings, as well as plenty of ammunition.
The economy has been shaky for a while now, and at any time it could get a lot worse and stay that way. We all need to be prepared.
I collect three metals, gold, silver and lead. Invest in these precious metals and you will survive the next catastrophe. Of course you need food and water. I have six months and still building Remember if your family members can get to you, you will probably need three times what you think you need.
Where on Earth is the sky blue and the sun shinning all the time? Sooner or later a storm will come on the horizon and change your perspective of the day’s events. So it is in life; you will never get sunshine all the time. You have to plan for those storms that come up from time to time. That is why being prepared for any scenario is the prudent thing to do. If you are stupid enough to put yourself at the disadvantage of depending upon the kindness of strangers; then you will get what you will deserve – the crumbs off the table of a stranger. Do you think a stranger will have your best interest at heart? I don’t think so either. Why would you depend on your Government to fill this void? Because you paid their salary in the past? Do you feel grateful for your last paycheck or are you looking forward to the up and coming one? That is how your Government feels. If they are in charge because of a disaster; then you will dance to their tunes and not your own, rights or not rights, Constitution be hanged. You might have to work for food and shelter. Nothing is ever free, now is it. You may only get fed once or twice a day until things get better. Have you ever eaten on 2000 calories a day? I have and it isn’t fun. Picture eating a baloney sandwich with just a piece of meat and two pieces of bread and nothing else, just plain. You will drink coloured water made to look like Cool Aide, no sugar. This is what your Government will give you to eat. Don’t like it then don’t eat it and take your problems down the road. There will be someone else in line willing to take your place. This happened during the Great Depression.
To be prepared is the only way to keep you from sliding down that slippery slope. To be prepared is the only way you can maintain some sort of control over your life and destiny. It gives you the ability do wait out the disaster – a wait and see tactic, to bide your time while helping your family. Not to be put in a free-for-all scramble over the meager resources that may or may not be available. Instead of taking that so-called free handout from that stranger; you can choose a different avenue for you and your family to survive.
So Be Prepared and avoid the rush of idiots at the local store(s) looking to get their so called necessary supplies that they think will help them survive the pending disaster, only to realize that they had forgotten something very important for their survival. Start now and avoid the rush, BE PREPARED NOW!
As I keep telling people, when the smelly stuff hits the fan, what you needs is more ammo, not more guns. A ton of guns with very little ammo will soon become nothing more than a collection of expensive clubs, but if you have the ammo to go with them, you have a means of self-defense. Don’t count on barter or trading for more ammo. You know Murphy’s Law. Unless your gun is worn out or otherwise defective, it’s usually better to put the money into more ammo and pass on that extra gun.
