pasted down from a old gent to Me. Lots of Vaseline thick cotton and wool socks. Better greasy feet than trench foot. damage to your legs and feet will not only hinder you but will stay with you for a life time. Full leg boots for rough areas, but realize, they are good protection for work NOT hiking.

It is strange but the Early English settlers claimed that the American Indian were lazy do nothing people. Still, they thrived and survived in a non-English society.
The foraged, hunted and fished at their leisure in stead of laboring in the fields. Who was wrong and who was right. Take the leisure time to go camping/ fishing/ hunting and practice your survival skills. Oh yeah, have some fun.

The very rich did not comply and many shipped there gold overseas. That is why collectors can still buy antique U.S. gold coins in uncirculated condition today at modest prices! I wish the skeptics could visit Dubai and see how gold works. Dubai is now among a handful of cities, that the worlds elite are flocking too.

When the dollar starts to flop, gold will skyrocket as trillions of fiat dollars chase real wealth. Foolish people will accept those dollars as old habits die hard and they will still see dollars as wealth. There will literally be gold buyers on every corner. The world is not limited to America, our dollar, or our inflated ego!

A good example is what is happened in Iran. During their wars with ISIS etc., the pickers are making a fortune on the antiquities flowing out the country and they pay in gold. It is always the same and there will always be people with money and those who what more.

I dare anyone to show me a single documented time – in all of human history, when there was not a market for gold. It is nothing more than a poor persons fantasy, that we are all be equal and will starve together. Don’t resent it – use it to your own advantage! What will the people with resources need and want? Swamp

Swamp, Gold is only a medium to trade. All the rest are credit currency and have no real value. Yes, there will be a market some where, but getting it there is another story. Brazilian miners only get 1/2 the value on the world market. So here is the point. You Have GOLD, I have gas. What are you going to trade me to take you and your gold to some place to trade your gold. No one else has gas and gold is heavy. WHERE are you going to sell it and HOW are you going to get it there? Remember you are at your remote BOL and there are miles of criminals before you sell and what curency will you accept.

So you have lots of PMs, the dollar fails. Exactly who are you going to sell it to? Exactly who will give you the total value for it. If the past has any story to tell, you are going to hold it for 27 yrs to get full value. Can you survive that long to be able to recoup your investment? Pms are only good for short term events of 1-2 years. Okay you say the world market will buy, who is your transfer agent? What is his cut? Better a hunting lodge as an investment. They can be lived in and sold to a rich sports man later.

Depends, do you garden, mow more than an acre, do wood working? Having a skill that you actually practice and just sitting is a great divide.

Cheap fishing line and pin pull alarms. These are normally used as hotel intrusion alarms. also called personal alarms can be had for $5 sold even at Walmart. I tried pull poppers and they get wet and are unreliable.

They are the same for all emergency situations and frugal living.
1. Food (Gardening, Foraging, trapping and hunting).
2. Clothing (proper low profile dressing for the weather).
3. Shelter, being able to build or find shelter. This includes lock-picking into abandoned structures.
4. Medical, sew up wound, set a bone, Treat infection without a drugstore (herbal).
5.Basic military training (make a weapon, handle weapons, stealth, and scouting).
That said you should know how to use a weapon for hunting already, how to climb a tree for scouting and setting up a tree stand,and how to field dress a dear quickly and quietly. You should be able to shelter in place if caught in a storm or just over night. Prepping is a test of your ability to adapt.

Human health did not improve significantly until modern medicine stepped in. Soap was known by the Babylonians 5000 yrs ago. (yes I googled soap history). Cleanliness maybe next to Godliness but It didn’t help Longevity. Still, if I don’t do at least a sponge bath every other day I stink. If you are a stealth prepper you don’t want to make it easy for dogs or other sensitive noses to find you. I rather have a enemy pass me by than be scented a mile down wind. Pond water is fine to wash with and you can water the garden with it. If you have problems with that put on the compost pile.
