Don't ingest alcohol if bleeding much, it suppresses respiration and emotional control for avoiding shock. Topical! <br />Stash some good narcotics for tooth pulling or gsw. Have a nurse, so you don't have to diy. <br />If you have a lot of surplus biomass and can't get gas, alcohol can run an infernal combustion engine like a carb'd motorcycle okay.

Proletariats can just suck it and pay the inflated added on costs to everything. You are doing it now when you see old timey pictures of costs of merchandise in the thirties, etc. Versus nowadays.

Gold is a not-accumulate for me, but the price is low so selling (except to switch to silver) hurts too much. <br />Half of budget for food (long-term, low-cost food, like hard winter wheat harvested without glyphosate). <br />One-third for ammo, at best-price in full-cases. <br /><br />Compared to 2008, this is a great time to be stocking the pantry, armory, and vault.

I knew that the collapse wasn't going to happen that quick or that easily and went ahead implementing my countermeasures. That was the gamble-not if but when. Trump's policies (at the direction of the elite) has bought us even more time to deal with the situation. We can watch the National debt reach 30 trillion dollars and still not have a meltdown. When the US dollar is shut out of the world market place then it is time to get in your bunker and lock and load.

I bought and paid for a house against everyone's advice and now I own it and it is tax exempt so far. Now it appears that purchasing precious metals to hedge against loss of purchasing power is also being promoted. As usual, ammo for a imagined war you can't win is being encouraged. I will keep my investments in precious metals and see what happens. I can always melt it down and make silver slugs for my shotguns.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-32895584061427628812018-07-28T10:53:36.893-07:002018-07-28T10:53:36.893-07:00Tracking article.

'Billy Bob' the minion should not desire to be a "baller with the bullion", post collapse riding up to town in a donkey pulled cart with chrome spoke wheels. It won't go over well with survivors who suffer from rib cage protrusion definition physiques and grumbly tummies. A ratio should be established by each member of the Minion Strike Force, according to their location and situation-posture. 3 to 2 to 1, as an example 3 times amount of available budget spent for food, 2 times for ammo, 1 part left for silver. Also leaving funds for other as important gear-kit. Go with one ouncer coins of major producers. I.e. us mint, canadian, etc. Not unknown company produced coins not recognized. Hop Sing the merchant will carry a ledger of accounts so if you pay with one ounce he'll carry a credit balance on excess value of the new higher pricing of the coins towards your next visit. It is to his advantage as well for commerce flow.

After ballparking the amount of silver one might need to get through some economic chaos, everything else should go toward more basic needs. I know it is hard not to think like a good little capitalist afteryears of indoctrination, so people want to figure out how to be a post collapse robber baron.
