Surviving Economic Collapse: Tips, Tactics, And Gear
A large part of our society operates on a disturbing assumption, a belief that has been driven into the very fabric of our culture for generations; the assumption that preparation for disaster is unnecessary because all will remain the same as it always has been.

This collective assumption exists in very few countries. South America, Africa, most of Asia, and even parts of Europe experience and even anticipate upheaval and catastrophe from time to time, not only in respect to mother nature (as recently occurred in Haiti), but also in terms of economics and social unrest. Many Americans have attempted not only to insulate themselves from such events, but to also insulate themselves from the very idea that such events could ever happen to them. The concept of hyperinflation, loss of utilities, loss of police protections, loss of infrastructure, loss of grocery outlets, is so outside their pre-programmed world view that to dare discuss these subjects is seen as “absurd” and “alien.”

While many Haitians would see the act of survival preparation as entirely practical (for numerous reasons), many Americans would become incredulous, jeering, as if they are above and beyond such concerns. This must change, and it must change quickly.

One trip to the store can make a world of difference, so to my way of thinking it is never too late, unless your dead.

I'm a prepper too but it's going to be all for naught.

Yup i'm a one percenter with everything thing i need to see us through and then some and it isn't going to do any good because the other 99% with no preps will come and demand or else take all our stuff outright even if i manage to take 30 or 40 of them down the starving hordes will keep coming till they overwhelm me/us.

The only way to beat the Zombies is to bug out before TSHTF to a very remote location with 0 peeps for 100 miles around minimum and good luck calling that one.

Preppers are done too.

You may have some warning time, a few days...long enough, if you are determined, to pull up stakes and drive to a remote location.
