I am not sure what the answer is to preparing oneself to surviving once this hits, but I have been trying to prepare for this.
Have converted my cash into hard assets such as silver, gold, ammo, firearms, canning equipment and food stores. Also equipment for planting and managing my acreage. Also long term storage of diesel fuel. Do have “some” cash on hand.
Have scaled back my beef herd on a scale that my wife and I can manage. Getting to slow to outrun the wilder ones......
Will be adding 30’x 40’ green house with aquaponics included as part of the system. Been growing my own tobacco for the last couple of years and this will be included in the greenhouse.
We have just completed a new 24’ x 16’ hen house with 7 different rooms and have started raising hens and selling meat, pullets and eggs. Raised chickens in the past so not a big thing to get back into it.
Have closed all checking and savings accounts. Will be closing out one 401K/IRA this month and closing the remaining one out next year. Will be completely out of the banking 1s and 0s.
As far as I am concerned, the FERAL Government can kiss my White butt. This country boy will survive one way or another.
It doesn't take much dirt to grow 12 lbs of tobacco.
BTW, commercial tobacco tastes like crap compared to the homegrown.
