We’ll all be fine. Maybe a little poorer, but fine. Maybe, maybe not.

The most spoiled country in world history that is filled with the most self centered/entitled people in world history and less than 10% of those people are self sufficient enough to survive any grid down scenario or have any common sense.
What could go wrong?

Black beans matter. I was in Wyoming for a family reunion and the electricity went out for 6 hrs. You would think the world was going to end.

What could go wrong? Nothing will go wrong here. Good to be in the 10% minority.

Dirt, I'm coming to live with ya.
In my opinion we are flirting with a currency collapse. If that happens it will make the Great Depression look like a full on bull market. The difference between now and then is we are awash in debt.

Danny you got a good deal with trading cows for labor, just remember you got to guard them cows. Several years ago when the price for cattle went up we had a big problem with rustling. Guard is exactly what i was thinking of trading. I hope it doesn't come to that. Somebody starved into leaving the city could be here quick if they have gas. If they have to walk it would take a few days. Especially if they are already hungry. One thing to keep in mind is that gangs who distribute drugs are already organized and armed. They have no qualms about killing people to take whatever they want.The first skirmishes would almost certainly occur in urban areas. The survivors would be the ones who finally leave. Those survivors will be tough and smart. I don't think any of that is very likely but it is possible. I doubt I ever get stranded for more than a day or two tops while trapping some remote place but I have enough MRE's and water in my pickup to last a week before I ever leave to check traps of a morning. Have several fire starters and tools too.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I told you all to plant a garden, put it up, can a bunch of fish ,beef, pork and poultry. Raise a few rabbits and meat birds. Also buy as much ammo as you can afford. These few things will be worth more than all the gold and silver you can carry. I will even go further and bring this into the conversation...
Mathew 24 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Isaiah 51:6 But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

. Wanna bet? While you advice is good and has great merit, Gold and silver have been a store of wealth and a means of exchange as far back as any history book goes. I could carry a quarter million worth of gold in today's prices in my back pack and not even know it's there.

I could carry a quarter million worth of gold in today's prices in my back pack and not even know it's there. I watched a movie like that once. These guys robbed a bank and split the gold bars up. They rode thru the dessert to escape the law. One was very greedy and the other was very wise. The greedy one was fine with selling the wise one his water for the heavy gold. Soon the greedy guy needed to water his horse but had sold the wise man his water. Soon the greedy guy was carrying his gold across the desert while the other man rode next to him with plenty of w for his self and horse. In the movie the man ends up dying from the elements right before they made it to a safe border town. The wise man then took the fool's gold and rode into town with all of it. Moral of the story is that you cannot eat or drink gold and it taxes your resources to defend it from someone who will take it when you are at your low. LLL

Good Lord man. Don’t you know them things is nothin but trouble. Currency will be crap in any form or will make you a target, if even having/using precious metal currency is even legal. Horse trading barter will be the new purchasing system. If you have something useful or that I may need we trade, not sell, trade. Somewhere it’s written all the gold and silver will be thrown into the streets, it won’t fill your soul or you bowels, also, that it will take a days wages for a measure of wheat. I do think a little here and there is a good thing, but some are placing let it ride bets on this path, I think they will be horribly surprised in the end. I’m with most though, it will be bad, but not that bad. Store up 1 - 5 years in your pantry, some house payments set aside, then diversify thinking outside the box. Forget movies and Hollywood, what lessons did the depression era folks and the pig farmer poor folks(I’m a pig farmer so ease up) tell us about how things worked, go that direction and everyone will be fine.

FUR-PRICING COMPARISONS FROM 1930 – 1960’s Prices During the 1930’s Prices During the 1960’s Mink Up to $50 ......... $25 Muskrats $2 ......... $.50 to $1 Skunks $2 to $3.50 ......... $.50 to $1 Raccoon $6 to $10 ........... $6 Beaver Up to $75 ........... $15 to $25 Fox $5 to $10 ......... $60 and up Not all things are bad during a depression. Fox were bringing $60 and up in the 1960's? Must be a misprint?

White 17, Steven 49er, and Dirt I respect ya'lls opinions on this topic and others....What do ya'll think about this article regarding Russia and the Dollar? I thought it was interesting, but was wondering if ya'll thought there is anything to it? Thanks in advance. Chancey https://www.rt.com/op-ed/478865-imf-great-depression-russia/
