Make sure you have a deep well and a power generator of some kind.

“His belief, fund managers were told, is that the US is going to go bankrupt.

Under President Obama, he said, the country’s annual fiscal deficit will not drop below $1 trillion and could rise beyond that figure.

Arch bears have predicted that US debt repayments could hit 35 per cent of tax revenues within ten years.

Dr Faber believes that the ratio could easily hit 50 per cent in the same time frame.”

Farmland? My grandfather was a farmer. I expect to keep busy
defending my small subdivision lot if things get that bad.

Long time ago I ran a farm for a while - lived in a log cabin - heated with wood. Kept my kids and a few hundred animals alive. It is NOT easy. I have experience and I wouldn't be able to survive without gasoline for chain saws, feed for animals, access to a vet or ways to keep repairs done without a hardware store. People have no idea what they'd be in for... To this day there are times when I look at water coming out of a faucet and experience amazement.

Could alway get a sailboat and fish for your dinner.

At least that way, you don’t have to worry much about looters, squatters, and vagrants... just pirates.

And a nice hardpoint and a 50-cal. will taken care of most, considering a modern pirate’s favorite weapon is an RPG. 50-cal. machine guns have a *FAR* greater range.

Heh, I’d post stuff similar to this on FR 2-3 years ago and get mostly responses saying I was a crackpot, gold nut, never happen, etc., etc.

Not a one, this time around.

I'm a fan of Peter Schiff, but I think this government will seize everything when it gets real bad. Private property and assets will be history.

"'Buy farmland and gold,' advises Dr Doom"

One problemo there, you can't KEEP either one of them if you don't invest in some other precious metals as well like:

Brass, Copper and Lead!

Stock up on plenty of the latter so you can keep the former!

The world is not falling apart, the economy is only contracting a few years.

People who think they’re going to be safe buying property and living off the land are nuts. They have no idea of the work involved. You better have years of experience living in the bush or a hired farmhand who knows the business.

Furthermore, an isolated farm is not defendable. You’d need to set up a perimeter and guard that perimeter. For that you need manpower. The smell of cooking, burning fuel or running a generator carries for miles. You’ll be the first ones picked off during general anarchy. I don’t care how much ammo you’ve got. Looters will wait for you to walk to the outhouse or go beddy-bye and bam - you’re dead.

You’re better off moving to a small Christian community where the people are heavily armed and believe in the Constitution. There is strength in numbers.

Green Acres is a TV series, people. It’s comedy.
