Thank you!
No debt other than our mortgage and the monthly utilities... Sons have college loans, but nothing that is not manageable, as long as they have jobs once they get out of college...
Arms - another story... none.
Self-sufficient?... we live in a city. we have family and land in another state, 500 miles away...
Nothing less than 40 cal. 9 mil is useless in the grand scheme of things, for personal protection, if you have to protect yourself or loved ones.
22 rifle is good for small game.
Shotgun for a house gun.
Become proficient in the use of all, that you have. purchase ammo and store it, stick to only a few types of like weapons.
For me, I have several weapons, but only 2 calibers.
And like was previously stated PRAY.
Do not trust Dem or Repub, there is no real difference between them.
there's your first answer -
You do not want to be living in a city when things break loose...and it's too late to make plans afterwards
“Self-sufficient?... we live in a city. we have family and land in another state, 500 miles away...”
Kudos to you. Just make sure to have your “bug-out” bag ready and a reliable / feasible means of escaping the city when the “fit hits the sham”.
We live in L.A. and just bought a motorcycle, because if it all falls apart, the only way out of Metro L.A. is via the freeways, which will be backed up for miles and miles. The only feasible means to escape will be via motorcycle (weaving in, out and between cars on the freeway). Motorcycles are low-maintenance and are much for fuel efficient that cars or trucks, plus ours can carry additional fuel, bug-out bag, shot-gun, hand guns and plenty of ammo, and can pull small trailer for additional supplies. (I ain’t kidding neither.)
Thank goodness our daughters go to college out of state in a rural area.
Economically, we are in a long-wave contraction; a decade-long period of historic deleveraging and wealth contraction. It will not get better, it will get worse. In their 3Q 2011 Macroeconomic Report, Salient Capital Partners in Houston gave a shocking overview of what's ahead. If you google Vienna Initiative and look at what the Chief Economist of the EBRD is saying, the king pins of money are all bracing for the WORLD'S economy to go to hell in the near future. This is not tinfoil hat material, my friend. It's an economic period we must survive - not a single event from which we must recover.
With this a@@hat in the White House, and his progressive/socialist buddies running the show, it will be a madhouse when the wheels finally come off the bus completely.
Dr. Manning Marable, in an open letter to the Socialist Review, bragged that Obama surrounded himself with communists and independent marxists, and has them in his administration. This lion of the LEFT was boasting about it before his death. Here's a direct link to the article.
Before hyperinflation really sets in, start stocking up on food. Food prices have jumped anywhere from 25% to 50% over the last year. Butter used to cost $2.00; it's now $2.98 by me. Whatever is on sale, that your family already likes to eat, buy an extra CASE every time you go shopping. Make it a priority purchase. Encourage those you love to do so, as well. Soups, nuts, canned veggies and fruits, PB&J, crackers, stuff that lasts, is easy to prepare (requiring only a pot and heat), and LOTS OF WATER. Lighters, candles, guns, ammo, food, and bottled water (get the 2 gallons jugs), ways to stay warm, light, heat. Oh, yes, and don't advertise it to anyone. Seriously, get a weapon, a ton of ammo, and learn to use it.
If you have anything in savings, pull a little out and start your stockpile. Seriously, start reaching out to neighbors you know and trust and build coalitions. Together, you can defend your community. Alone, you are sunk.
You will need enough for at least 40 days. At that point, most of the animals will have taken each other out or formed their groups. Hopefully, you will have formed your group, too.
Most of my street could survive a Zombie Apocolypse. Do I think it will get that bad? Sure as heck hope not. But the America of today does not resemble the America that survived the Great Depression; it's godless, morally bankrupted, government dependent, and ignorant of history.
Just hedging my bets and protecting my own. Insurance, you might say, with a powerful punch.
