Survival Expert James Rawles Warns: “There’s Going To Be A Massive Run On Firearms… Bigger Than (TR)
SHTF Plan ^ | August 16, 2016 | Mac Slavo

James Wesley Rawles is a former intelligence officer of the United States Army, prolific author and one of the top survival experts in the world. In his best-selling book series Patriots he paints a terrifying picture of a post-collapse America where food is scarce, currency is worthless, law and order have broken down, and survival is a daily struggle. It’s a fictional tale, of course, but one that is grounded in real-world possibilities.

In his latest interview with SGT Report, the SurvivalBlog.com founder breaks down the probability of such a scenario and explains that should it come to pass, where hyperinflation destroys our currency or a world war ravages America, the most important thing to have in your possession will be essential tangible assets.

Further, Rawles notes that as we get closer to the possibility of a Hillary Clinton Presidency, we may soon see panic buying of firearms, ammunition and gun-related accessories.

Venezuela is a microcosm of a centrally planned government and currency run amok… and we need to learn from their example.

If you notice the things that people are clamoring for are tangibles… they’re looking for food and they’re looking for currencies that are inflation proof and that usually means precious metals.

So if we’re going to learn anything from Venezuela it’s tangibles, tangibles, tangibles.

…Wake up… watch what’s happening in Venezuela… you need to get your beans, bullets and band aids squared away… Those tangible items are going to be what pulls your family through the hard times ahead. And regardless of what happens to currencies, if you have a honest one year supply of food, preferably two years, and a good core position in physical precious metals that you hold at home… hidden… not in

Times Like now make me wish I lived in the middle of the woods in the middle of nowhere near a recently shut down but not scrapped toilet paper factory powered by a nearby hydroelectric dam....

I would be set...

If you can change a tire, you can build an AR-15.

No. Living in the middle of nowhere is fine, you can improvise from then on. Just go there with a plan, sufficient utensils, cooking and defense, and leaves will work fine, as will fern fronds, depending where you escape ro.

Your best bet is to stick together with family, friends and neighbors. Defend your home and neighborhood.

Go tribal rather than solo.

there already is a big rush on firearms sales right now...

i do not disagree about it getting more intense, but sometimes the store is so full of customers that you can’t walk around inside and they have to keep you outdoors until someone leaves

now is the time to get equipped, as it may very well (likely will, imho) get even worse ... at which time you won’t be able to get the toys you really want....you’ll have to settle for just about anything that goes Pop....
that they still have available

NOW you can still get some selection...

Now is def the time to buy what you need BEFORE the big rush. Don’t wait.

You may be sorry you waited.

Tp is the one item I don't want to be out of, so I found a simple alternative - a spray bottle. It feels a little weird, but it gets the job done. Don't forget seeds, and pellet or bb rifles are a cheap way to put meat on the table.

2.5 gallon plastic Hudson sprayer with a pump handle that will mount the spray arm. You can bathe with it, wash dishes put out fires etc... Cheap at twice the price (and they’re under $20).

Spray paint one black and leave it in sun for a while for hot water.
