Even a broken clock is right twice a day. If you predict a slump in the stock market long enough, it will come true. SHTF is nothing but doom and gloom all the time.

It’s why it was created. Some saw where the world was headed and created the site. Some of this stuff is ridiculously easy to predict. What is hard is the timing. So you look like a nutcase until you don’t.

Back when I was younger, they were called survivalists. One of the things I have a problem with regarding this sort of stuff is that the bible clearly teaches, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” It means that whatever you plan and prepare for is what you, deep down, HOPE will happen.

When you buy a certain stock, you hope it will go up. When you buy a generator, you hope you get the chance to use it before it rusts away. When you acquire SHTF skills, you hope you get the chance to use them.

I don’t want to live like that. It’s why, when I bought my bugout place, I made sure it was where I would want to be if nothing happened as well. It is. We’ve been here four years and even had the opportunity to buy 19 acres from my neighbor:
