I'm not saying that things are blowing up in our face and the world is coming down around us.

Just the same, here are some resources for those with families that are considering a strategy for how to make it through a major financial and societal meltdown.

Food Storage Calculator.

Enter how many people are in your family and group and get an idea of what it would take to hunker down.

Water Storage Guidlines.

Notice on an official government site about storing gasoline not a word is said about the need for a gasoline preservative.

You can get it Here.

How to cache weapons.

Edible plants

Self reliant home plans.

luckily, I dont have to stash weapons or ammo yet.  7.62X54R ammunition is still fairly cheap, as are the rifles that shoot it.  I'm still working on a good place and method to store emergency food and supplies.

oh, and also buy up some silver dollars, dimes, and nickels from the pre '68 era just for some hard currency that will never lose its value compared to paper. I think, better to buy it at whatever price its at now (silver that is) then wait until the inflation train hits.

From my experience all you need in a real crisis is a big stash of cigarettes. You can trade that for anything else.

But as far as the food goes - vegetable oil, rice and dry powdered milk. And of course all canned food can last long as well.

But rice boiled in water is you safest bet since there is hardly any smell when cocking. And if your entire neighbourhood is starving last thing you want to do is start heating up some beans with beef

Edible plants?  I've seen a few - they are about $0.99 a pound at the local market.

Is this like one of those zombie surival guides?

A lot less expensive than your smokable plants aren't they?

One of the few good things about the Mormons is their emphasis on self-reliance.

I'm not expecting society to collapse by Thanksgiving, but I do know that in case of an emergency, I cannot expect anyone, especially the government, to be there to help or protect me.

Do you honestly not get it?

Yeesh, I thought the minute people read what I wrote, they'd understand it... "prepare for the future"? "Survival Guide"?

I guess I overestimate your comprehension capabilities. https://forums.newyorkislanders.com/style_emoticons/default/dontknow.gif
