I don't know, but I think it's definitely best to err on the side of caution. All freedom lovers need to be stockpiling food. I believe we should start community farms, completely off the grid. Of course, then the military might come in and commandeer them, but we have to do something for our own survival and the future of the human race.

We're local, and I'm willing to help. Mind you, my primary SHTF/PAW focus is more security, but I have some acerage of woodland, and maybe able to locate farmland.

there will be more factors at play besides economic collapse, that is only the beginning.

Gunny, you'll want to be digging up there. If Solar flares start jacking up the heat/radiation; High up Top, for the flooding and deep inside for solar protection. Crops would have ended, sometime back with no rain. Stock food.

I would place myself on the back west side of those mountains maybe even East TN. Over here, we will have beach front property; Hate to have you over there stuck on an Island. Drag a boat up there, then climb to a tree-top and tie it off- that way...

The wheels are in motion for a hyperinflationary depression. (http://www.kitco.com/ind/Ruff/ruff_apr212008.html) I only pray that enough people realize the real reason why this is happening, so that we don't get a nice socialist government "cure" for these self-inflicted wounds.

It could be like the last time we did this - 1970s, or it could be like the great depression, or it could be like the Argentinan collapse in 2001.

Or they could find another way to prop it up for another decade or two. The important thing is that we realize that the house is built of cards, and act accordingly.

Hopefully the Sh-t won't hit the fan for a little while because I was planning on building an underground bunker this summer but due to financial limitations and summer classes, I'm gonna have to put it off until next summer. It should be a pretty fun little project though, I'm also planning on turning a closet at my house into a hidden room, then I'll have two secret places to hide food, guns, gold/silver, freedom fighters, etc..

I'm not quite ready for an economic collapse just yet though, so hopefully it'll decide to crash AFTER I'm prepared.

The Empire Crumbles




Oh yeah there is an economic collapse. We will be seeing the Empire begin to crumble. America's worlwide presence and efforts are unsustainable.

At the same time commodity prices are all increasing as our dollar if falling. The wealth in America will start to slowly drip or drain away. Other countries may start taking the lead in areas that were once America's domain. Education is one of them. It's true, Americans are addicted . . . addicted to oil, and everybody will act like addicts once there Drug is denied them. It's happening now.

Thanks to decades and decades of fiscal irresponisibility, our economy is mainly service. If no one needs the service that's it.

FYI I cleaned out a storeroom last week and threw away some food I had stockpiled in '95 when I thought a collapse was imminent for sure.

I think a downright collapse would make too many people wake up much too quickly and that it will continue to be gradual.
