Are we headed for an economic and dollar collapse? If so, how do I prepare?

“A collapse is brought on by...Socialist Democrats.”

“The root of any collapse stems from...Socialist Democrats.”

“The two warning signs of a possible collapse are...Socialist Democrats and Socialist Democrats.”

I see a pattern here. ;)

“You can weather a crisis or a collapse with less stress and greater flexibility without debt.”

If you do nothing else this year, concentrate on doing this one thing.

prairiebreeze :" I actually stock up on Crisco as I find it lasts longer without going rancid. "

Given it has long storage life, without going rancid, it is a bargain. Also, it is a good bartering item.

<<" However, I need to continue to restock some areas of the pantry. " >>
Much easier to do if you have a clip board with an itemized list of products in the pantry; easier to rotate product too!
If attached in proximity to the pantry along with a pen on a string, you would know at a glance what you need to re-supply.
Once established, the list needs to be maintained before any product removal; not even go into another room to fetch a pen (therefore, the pen is on a string).
Don't procrastinate -as others are in your same circumstance, and don't realize that they only have 5 days to get their sh*t together !

For non-emergency use, stick with butter, olive oil and avocado oil.

“It’s becoming slightly less rare now, but I’m hearing more about goods being offered for services. If the economy really crashes such trading will come back. After all, isn’t that what you’re alluding to when you suggest stockpiling stuff you don’t use?”

The tried and true barter system. Mastering skills that others in your area would be willing to barter goods for in exchange for your services may be more valuable then having gold and silver on hand.

“People who’s first first response to SHTF is to buy gold aren’t gonna last long.”

Once can last for 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 30 days without food and forever without gold.

I’ve been reading about this type of FUD since before Obama. Karl Denniger and his ilk. But, I suppose at some time, someone will be right.

Yes. And when the U.S. economy tanks (again) so will much of the world (again).

See “2008”.

Yes, I have several manual can openers on back-up.

I like the pop-tops but sometimes the cheapest cans don’t have pop-tops.

paying it back for people that have a steady income....this does not work for people who live off of SS or small pensions....

Learn to make sourdough and keep your starter going forever. Yeast doesn’t last. Yeast-less bread sucks but works.

If you don't like the taste of sourdough, learn to make wine, and get yourself some airlocks. A few carboys would be handy, too, although you can use just about any food-safe container as long as you can adapt it to the airlock. Start a batch using bread yeast instead of specialty wine yeasts. As it brews, you'll notice a beige-colored layer of residue collecting on the bottom. That residue is more yeast. When you move the wine to a different container, save the residue. Use part of it to make bread, and the rest to start the next batch of wine.

With a little practice, you can have an unending source of yeast, without the sour flavor of sourdough. And some wine as a bonus :) If you don't drink and can't use it for bartering, you can turn it into vinegar for cooking and pickling. (Have a way to test the strength if you use it for pickling.)
