Grab a cup of coffee, it's a long read. http://ferfal.blogspot.com/2008/10/thoughts-on-urban-survival-2005.html
I got my coffee and read about this guys plight after 2001 collapse of Argentina! WOW! It was enlightening, and we had a forum discussion on FR about survival too...and we may need to be prepared within months to a couple of years..don’t know the timeframe.
I’m trying to prepare and it takes time.....that is why I posted this, it seems that there are behind the scenes manipulators trying to pull the strings, just like Lehman Bros.
