Good Post Zorgon. Also a dehydrator and a smokehouse for preserving meat.

If you live in a rural area raise your own chikens.

Cheers.

I've made a blade out of an old lawnmower blade and another arm swing with a back you can trust against yours is always a good thing.

Funnny you should askI am actually restoring an old antique plow right now

Great point. Also, baking soda is a very cheap, but effective ant-acid . Put about 1/4 teaspoon in some water, stir and drink.


ICKIE...can make you throw up if you are not careful as to the amount you use, or if you use it after drinking alcohol, be ready to be really really sick.

Well, there are truck driver members of ATS, and let me clue you in. If Obama or McCain try to re-implement the Mexican truck driver fiasco, the entire nation of truck drivers will SHUT down America, and I'd be the FIRST to SUPPORT them.

Actually, it has EVERYTHING to do with what we are discussing. Groceries are shipped from the warehouse to the store VIA TRUCK. Shutting down the trucks shuts down delivery. Are you SURE you really WORK for a food supplier? How could you not understand that?

something else to consider for those who still believe our economy will survive:
Upcoming events:

As a result of "This is it and It is NOW":

US exchanges will be closed. There is a chance all world exchanges will close down. Only gold and currencies which are planetary markets will continue to trade.
Retirement programs will not pay off.
Medicare and Medicaid will at best buy you a bandage or pay for 1/4 of a visit to a free clinic.
Social security, due to the massive upcoming inflation, will provide no security for any society.
Money Market Funds will not pay off.
A CD is a gift, but not to you.
Unified central bank action has a short life.
Central banks will soon revert to the strategy of everyone for themselves.
401Ks not self directed are headed for the toilet forever.
Exchange Traded Funds will not return the assets upon which it is based to you.
Sliver will demonstrate the fact that it is more industrial a metal than precious.
Silver is not a currency because it is simply too HEAVY to settle debts or to be universally fungible.
Silver performs best when there is reasonable industrial demand and distrust of currency. When this happens rounding up the gang and their money will have a lot to do with which party is elected.
Credit card companies are going to have to be bailed out.
GE Capital is a nuclear capable entity that has the capacity to take down the good old toaster and refrigerator manufacturer - SIGMA ZERO.
GE Capital is a huge OTC derivative dealer but somehow I do not recall that fact being discussed.
Gold is the only Honest Money because it has no liability attached to it.
Gold coins are the best way to own gold for the average investor.
When you select a junior gold, I would look for the highest quality, most bashed, highest short positioned, with real assets and real people devoid of pussy management. The situation is best if it is based in another country than the country you live in while doing business in a third and trading in multiple areas. The benefit is obvious.
Nobody ever did or will ever trade items as insurance. That is a form of madness.
At $1650 I will take my leave, having been with you to the point I promised.
The only place you will find me then is at my place of business on the ground or the web.

i find this most disturbing. all the economic brains on this site (some boasting to be as young as 17) said this would never happen. called it a correction not a recession and i say shortly we will be angry enough to do something about our government. when people get hungry they get angry. unfortunately, i live w/a total moron who controls the money! stocking up is impossible for me.

Man....can we try to stir up any more scare tactics???? There's not going to be a shortage of food. Just like when wallstreet imploded the other day America didn't shut down...Come on... This should be filed under the same crap as the October 14th or was it the 15th or now it's the 16th Mass U.F.O. sightings and such... Just stop the non-sense use your common sense if you havent lost it by watching the news and other fear monging out-lets..


You haven't REALLY read all the posts, have you?
If people have no money because they have lost their jobs or their 401K's (down 50% for most people), they WON'T be able to BUY FOOD!
Preparing for the worst, while you still have some money left is PRUDENT, NOT SCARE TACTICS.

Look, no one is MAKING you do anything. You continue to live in your fairy-tale world. The rest of us will make sure that we take care of our families. My parents had to live through the depression, eating mashed potato sandwiches to survive, and that was on a GOOD Day. My parents lost their jobs, and also had no savings. Tens of millions of people were in the same boat. So, when the markets and banks CONTINUE to crash, you BELIEVE it WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN?

WHO is the one that has DELUSIONS?
I suggest it is YOU.

People aren't being scared, they are being realists and being prepared. If you don't like it, don't prepare.
You be the grasshopper. We'll be the ant. Now hop along and sing a merry tune, while the rest of us prepare for winter.

When does your canned corn expire?
Does your water have an expiration date?
If you think it will be that bad, surviving in place will not be an option.
The hikers and foragers might be the best off, if they can get out of the cities.

Oh Im sorry I must have explained that wrong.
They break down the manufacturers coupons from the Sunday paper into a list form based on the specials or good deals.
I still dont think I am explaining it right but the coupons are what you would clip out of the paper not printable (for the most part)
For instance Progresso Soup was on a bogo with a coupon from the paper and they break down your savings and percentage off so you can instantly see the best deals and what coupons to clip etc. Plus the list is great because yu can break it down from home with what you will be buying and print it and take it with you.
The progresso soup came out to be .33 a can after coupon
Anyway anybody who is struggling should check out the site, it makes budget shopping and coupon clipping so much easier.
