I figure most of the crowd here is already savvy, but figured I would share for those still learning. #Surviving and #Prospering through this event requires more than guns and bullets. We are going to have to be #Off #Grid completely #Self #Sustaining and essentially manufacturing or growing whatever we need. The old #Money for #Goods scenario is rapidly breaking. Look for Amish School Auctions for affordable ways to start getting items needed to fill in holes. Not everything there is 1860s contrary to popular belief, although some of that manual 1860s stuff is going to be very useful. For those of us planning on power, we have gone through the math and figured out every manual item or mechanical item lowers the demand for power generation. This can be a very good thing. Get used to #Scarce #Resources compared to the previous years, which makes #Planning and #Learning on going #Critical #Life #Skills #Knowledge and #Skills should be at the top of your #Chart. The days of "I went to #College to sit behind a #Computer" are over if you want to #Survive and #Prosper.
