  • That's not a stupid idea mate, Don't forget yabbie and rabbit snares, and a fishing hand line. and a small tent and swag. If you have to vacate your home head for fresh water stream or the beach. a piece of good durable plastic to make fresh water as well. Buy the beach you can catch fresh seafood and wash. But fresh water may not be so close. Near a fresh water stream you can do the same and drink it. don't forget a pot to cook and boil water. cheers

  • Have you considered putting emergency food like BP-5 in your BOB? The nutritional value to weight/space ratio is much better than cans. Since you'll only be carrying a few days worth of food in your BOB, the taste isn't as important.

  • Sardines gross? I love that full taste with the crunchy fish bone in the middle.

  • nice working progress :) but i would suggest you put a bigger knife in there i know you've already got the knives in the multi tool but having a big knife would be a essential tool to have, if you want you can have two eg a bowie and/or machete.

  • If you have adequate clean water where you are going, dried food and vitamins are a better idea. You need to go high calorie high density. In cold climates, carbs, protien, and water are critical.

    Staying warm will be really important. The gun's are good, and the ability to make fire. I missed the salt, you will be busted without that, not just to eat, but it is a good disinfectant/ preservative.

  • Love your videos.....But man....Your bag is WAY TOO HEAVY!......A bottle of bleach is worth gold, btw.....Also....You need 'something' for shelter.....I'd go dried food.....Multi tools are nice, but imo, they are are made cheaply and are too mechanical...Get a non folder knife.....Add a few fishing hooks, some line and 'something' to read(I brought some edible plant book....Because you WILL get bored!...Bugged out for 3 months after my divorce...ha/ha....Other than that....Nice pack...

  • the canned fruit is very good because if you dont get enough vitam c and citrus your will develop gingivitis like the pirates did.

  • a lighter alternative to canned goods would be MRE's

  • from my experience, a 8 or 12 inch flathead screwdriver can come in handy.

  • Spend that cash before it turns to ash.

    Buy plenty of ammo to protect your stash.

    Oh, and don't forget the Lanacane, it's an ass saver. :)

  • Hey demcad, just a quick note on hygiene. You have to keep your hands, face, feet and groin as clean as you can. the rest is a bonus.

  • ingore the stupid comments cause in the end you will survive and have the last laugh so to speak

  • Hell, Ketchakan Alaska, you are already bugged out :)

  • Would you please STOP EVERYTHING and pretend it is NOW! Then EAT this food only and turn your Heater Off then make a new video and tell us whatever didn't work.

  • @2012Twist What is your point?

  • Great video, if you feel like it's the right thing to do, it is probably the right thing to do! Preparation is key to survival!

  • You are a unique individual. My guess is that most black men are not prepping and unfortunately for them will be the first casualties of a wrol situation as they turn to crime to survive.

  • Thanks for all your videos and updates. Have started investing in essentials for bugging out/in. Could easily have blown £30-£40 in a video game, but it's just not an option anymore. I see a bug out bag like a life support machine

  • i couple things that we just put in a bug out bag bible surgical kit(if u get shot or stabbed) and these water purifier pills if u go to a dirty water source n u dont have good water...just a tip on urs man great videos keep em up

  • very good and entertaining videos mate people can learn alot from you subed

  • May a Dinamo Lamp it is around 4.99 to 15.00 ith radio and cellphone charge

    you know,never batteries to buy

  • A question is ... where are well all going with a bag out bags ??? Its sort of a TREND these days also.

  • what gauge, type , manufacturer, and barrel length of your shotgun?

  • dry goods better and you  can store it for along time b o b and look into mre

  • Nice selection of a kit. I own a blast match, and it is amazing with a few cotton balls.

  • p38 ......

  • it is a good idea to have Irish spring because it keeps rats away for some unknown reason

  • @divad55234 lol....

  • look into wolf buckshot, its cheaper and made by lapua in germany.

  • open all your tin stuff and vacuum seal in idividual bags ,they way alot less plus you now can boil in the bag

  • I think you have too many canned items...they'll be too heavy to carry...you can buy the tuna in a light weight plastic to go package.....but hey youre on the right trck!! Im just starting my bag.

  • Get a small victorinox if you want a good can opener. It's small and has more than just a can opener:)

  • Ditch the can opener. A knife or even a spoon can open cans!

  • You are correct in thinking you do not need a BOB in Alaska. Only people in densely populated areas are bags like that a must. But then again once you bug out... WHERE WILL YOU GO. Are you going to go out to the country and try and squat on us redneck's land???? Or fight over unpopulated land full of resources with others who have bugged out.

  • I had one of those magnessium fire starters. the metal part that you're suppossed to strike fell out. lol

  • nice vid but no worries where you live - perhaps you should plan for what might happen in your area, such as power outages, having an extra heat source, food for yourself,etc.maybe fill a few gas cans for feul for vehicles.

  • HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA~!!!! All emergency kit ~!!!

  • love the video and the idea of the lotion *cough* :P good video keep it up

  • Thats a very good start keep up the great work

  • I like to take care of the basics Comfort Shelter Warmth Water Health Food Signal First Aid Sanitation Location Orientation Direction Travel
  • u should get better nives than that china crap look like it cost 15 buck at walmart get case knive or benchmade knives are the best buck allright but half there crap is made in china now

  • @ST4leave My iPhone, Gerber knives, Dell laptop, Paracord 550, and mountain bike are all made in China, and they are all damn good.

  • @ST4leave My Ford 150 is Made in America and it's a piece of shit. I have now switched to a Durango.

  • @aguswidjaja dont blame car doge not that bad my gradpa had one run prety nice i dont like those new durango look like a mini van

  • @ST4leave The point is some stuff made in China are crap, but not all. I appreciate Chinese products because the low prices keep our cost of living low. We in America make some good products and some junk too. Peace bra!

  • you need to rethink about your bug out preparation ur actually gonna bring canned food in a bug out bag? are you serious? cant you try to atleast think up of a better idea and create a homemade MRE out of those, man you need alot of things to sort out.

  • you should really think about making it better look at some vids

  • I wish I found out about this channel earlier! Great collection of video's

    5/5 and subscribed!

  • get rid of all the canned foods. too heavy!! and too bulky!!!! dried foods are way beter and way lighter.

  • so true! imagine walking around with that 4 hours?

  • for a light compact can opener look at a p51 or p38 that the military issued the gi's going all the way back to ww2.

  • ya but they dont last thats why they are issued with every can of b rations cause they brake constantly he should have got a multi-tool with a can opener

  • In 1964, Alaska had one of the highest if not the highest magnitude earthquakes recorded in history. I probably don't need to tell you about this.

    This is exactly the kind of reason YOU NEED a B.O.B.

    You are off to a good start but yes add to it a refine it.

    Good Job !

  • @clearlyme2u if that happened here now this place would rip itself apart with civil unrest...Even on a good day the groceries stores in Anchorage dont have wat you find in the lower 48s in way of stocks..i have went to grab a box of something from a shelf and was shocked that the stocks are always pulled to the front of the shelf to appear full..it happens all the time....We just had a 6.8 down the coast near BC today..if that hit here...F ME!

  • Thank you Sir, you help me see the urgency to get prepared too.

  • A good map of your area would be great for navigation, along with a wilderness field guide for reference.. 5/5

  • Dude! You're so fortunate to live in Alaska! The food is walking around outside everywhere there. I live in AZ and when SHTF in a few weeks I don't think I'll get through all my food if you hear what I'm saying. I need a Katadyne Packer the one that filters 13,000 gallons. I also need some more ammo, more food, a windmill and some solar panels to power the water pump. Oh and most importantly a 4x4 cause the car I'm paying for can't go off road. Dangit this video showed how much I'm not prepared

  • Just a thought, but maybe you should have a bug-out vehicle,...start stocking an entire vehicle and take it as far as you can. A bike and a trail map might be something else to look into. I wish i had the $ to stock up the way I need to..so I guess I will have to make do with what I can. Best of luck to you.

  • I live on an island in Alaska. A vehicle would be useless to me.

  • @DEMCAD a boat then maybe? you never know.

  • well good luck man .

  • you need some wilderness gear. check out dave canterbury from wildnessoutfitters on youtube. the man is a true guru and anyone who knows of him can vouch for that.

  • Like you said you may not need a bug out bag but your cabinets are bare...you really need to stock up if you need to sit in place. Not sure if you hunt or not but stock up on food you would like to eat and of course MORE ammo. Great video!! I enjoyed it.

  • Demcad, Great vid! Some items that I have in my bag that you may want to consider: Water filter (most inmportant!) Poncho (for rain and shade) p-38 multiple fire starters map of local area list of contacts first aid kit 22 gauge wire for snaring critters concealable firearm cash and silver dimes for bardering I have put some of my funds into junk silver, gold, cash, ammo, and heirloom seeds. Diversify!
  • P-38 is the best can opener out there.

  • buy more ammo because when it's illegal 7.99 will seem reasonable

  • demcad .. u forgot the condoms

  • ur nuts for nuts? dude....

  • All out! is the way to go. Better safe than sorry.

  • Bad times are ahead no joke good video mate

  • of coarse its your decision man...but i would say put your money half in at most...no need to spend every penny...just get a few supplies but keep some money in reserve as well...thats what i would do

  • Allways good to prepare!

    Dont forget to set your spiritual house in order as well!

  • Just get a small boat, nobody will mess with you, and you can fish...

    Get the can opener that wont cut you, they work better too, and you can reuse the cans for stash...If you use that soap the bears will want your body....lol... don't forget toilet paper..buy a girlfriend,, at least you wont be lonely..and have a smile on your face...

  • Very good idea demcad!

    It's better to be safe than sorry.

    5*****

  • lol - call me a sceptic, but when the Queen doesn't seem to know what's going on, im scared.

    I blame the monarhcy for everything, so if she hasn't got hold of this yet, im starting to wonder who has.

    Im starting to realise that this "illuminati" stuff is actually TRUE. Watch "Angels and demons revealed" for the full communist story.

    I dont like the royals, but im not having them murdered by Stalinists.

    We in Britain fight tyranny, of any kind, even the mass genocide of the Aristocracy.

  • In my humble opinion, any money left over after you get what you need, buy silver with it. I'm sure you have heard it all before as to why everyone should own some silver, but also, keep it somewhere safe from theft. This is, of course, a long range suggestion. If you are going to need the money short term, I don't know what to tell you.

  • Gold and silver are th ebest investments, if you are sure of a long life. they will always be there for you.

    However, people buying survival kit, will not be needing it (except for a small amount, to buy passage on boats etc.).

    However, small deposits here and there, may lead someone to keeping you alive long enough for you to show them all your hiding places. This give s you chance to turn the tables.

    Other than that, learning to skin and cook humans, may also be in demand.

    Ymmmmm !

  • ok dumar

  • 2 Words "BUY GOLD"

  • You buy the gold, i will dig it up, with my shovel !

  • After you've bought all the stuff, you need to go camping to show yourself how much different reality is, and how you will never beable to carry half of what you bought.

    It also teaches you about the things you FORGOT to buy !

    You will soon find out what they are, if you spoend 3 days out in the hills.

    Also, an elephant gun (which should sort out the bear problem). And some butchery practice, so you can eat the bears. Its looking better already.

  • I never understood all the "fire-starter" gizmos I see on survivalist sites when a few Bic lighters weigh less, last a year(s) and cost about $1each.

    You'll also need duct tape, in case you have a female accompanying you. You'll need something to stop the nagging.

  • Id rather carry the flu, than a female !

    They are gona realise about equality, when they have to catch their own sqirrels !

  • LMAO

  • too much soap , you want something to sleep in and some thing to cook in .

    sleeping bag or blanket maybe a goretex bixy bag or a tarp or poncho ditch the can opener and get a swiss army knife that is as good a tin opener as you will need and is smaller than your can opener .

    normally wear outdoor clothes and walking boots then add to that , the lowest type of bug out should be stuff you carry in your pockets then expand to what you would carry in a small pack then to a big pack

  • SHOVEL !

    A shovel will not only enable you to bury your waste, but will help you to dig a massive hole,which, in the event of a govt attack, you can hide things in, to go back later.

    Also, a dog would help, cus he can sniff out other peopel's buried things.

  • sorry to post 2 comments in a row but i ran out of space to address the money question. you could always keep the money in currency for but convert it out of dollars. canadian dollars might be a good idea since its more stable and is very close to your location.

    good luck with what ever you decide to do.

  • i didn't read all the comments but a flash light with spare batteries and a decent sized quality folding knife seem like good items for anyone. even if they dont plan on 'bugging out' but doing something mundane in the dark, or cutting open a stubborn package.

    being in alaska i'd definitely bring sunglasses to eliminate any chance of snow blindness, one of those metal shielded emergency blankets and some salt because it makes everything taste better and its dirt cheap.

  • Bandaids, fishing pole, dutch oven, solar oven, food dehydrator, wind-up radio, t.p., deodorant, toothbrush, dental floss, pop-up greenhouse, homesteading books (like foxfire), candles, solar lights, dehydrated eggs, tea etc.

    Buy 5 gallon paint buckets to use to grow potatoes.

  • I can't believe no one here is suggesting MRE's for bug-out bags. If I was doing one, that's what I'd use for the food part.

  • As for your money dilemma. . . If you don't feel you need additional supplies ,or there's some left over after doing that, I'd be inclined to "perserve your wealth" by converting it to gold and/or silver. A small stash of cash at home isn't a bad idea either, incase of future bank holidays.

  • Reginald -- have you tried dried fruit? It's lighter, smaller to store, and lb. for lb. much more nutrient packed than canned fruit. And if you get a dehydrator (Excalibur brand recommended), you can make your own!

  • I'm going to get chastised for this, but I do not have and am not planning on making a bug-out bag. I'm in the semi-country, we have our own manual water source, garden, supplies, self-defense, and livestock. Plus, we have family and good neighbors here. We will not leave. And that's good because we have no other place to go. Whatever comes, this is where we'll face it.

  • p.s. i would consider a bugout ROOM. It doesnt have to be for survival mode. It can be a hedge against inflation. Higher food prices are going to really hurt a lot of people and if you can stock it w/ currently priced food items, it could save you LOTS of future dough. Id aim for 6mths to 1 yr of goodies. 20 lb bags of rice and 8 lb bags of dried beans are el cheapo - for now...

  • buy 'junk' silver (valued for its metal content): pre-1965 (64 and earlier) dimes, quarters. Theyre usually going for around 9x to 12x face value, so a silver quarter might currently cost about $2.50 or so. A $5 roll of dimes might go for $45-$60.

  • toilet paper sir. TOILET PAPER!!!

    puzzle book

  • morale fruit. lol. good

  • You need a flashlight and lots of batteries. A small transistor radio would be good too.

  • Reg - WTF? You live in Alaska! Where's all your smoked and vac-pac'd fish?? That will cut down on the weight and it's healthier than mercury filled tuna. Also, we got a couple of those buckets at Costco that have a 30 day supply of food, only like $85 each and they keep for a very long time. Something else we've been doing for awhile - buying scrap gold jewelry from pawn shops. Just a thought. Great vids, please keep them coming. :)

  • Being in an isolated area the odds of a bugout are small. Youre in the kind of place people bug out to, not from. Alaska has had several earthquakes & Tsunami`s so a BOB is still a good idea.

  • Don't forget multi vitamins stashed away somewhere. 200 tablets minimum. not the best thing to take in normal times, but canned ham has only so many nutirents in it.

    As for money, it is not earning anything these days. Get stuff you're going to use anyway. Food will never be cheaper than it is now!

    If you get equipment - make sure it holds its value at resale, or could at least trade it is for a truckload of stuff you migt need in post bug out days.

  • I have a stockpile of a variety of sardines. They do taste kind of gross. I am going to try and put some in a skillet and try them. at least the mustard ones.

  • Nice message Demcad, new suscriber. What's the name of the song at the end btw.. thx?

  • "I Guess You're Right"

  • @drakflyga The Songs Name is - "I Guess You're Right" by The Posies

  • i really like your vids you have a great personality. remember typically bug out bags are 72 hr and you should prepare for your specific environment. that is alot of food you would be packing there and some things like a rain pancho, thermal blanket, tarp you might want to pack so you dont get sick from the elements. i would assume you would hunker down in your house and would not need a bug out bag but i enjoyed seeing what you had.

  • Jeez.. how long u gonna survive on that thing?

    And hwy u wanna carry a heavy load of cans tuna? Just grab the whole fish from the river if u feel hungry dude lol

    As long as u have enough ammunitions and fishing hocks/wires u should be okay!

  • Don't forget the toilet paper with all chili. LOL

  • Jesus H Christ on a cracker! OK if you've EVER gone on a long distance marches or hikes you would know weight is NOT your friend. The idea of a "bug out bag" is when shit truly hits the fan. I would recommended things with extremely high calories and lots of ammo with a .22 or a high pressure air gun. Also some kind of bag to store water (from rain), tarps etc. . . Remember what ever you pack you carry! I don't mean to hate. I'm Alaskan & Prior US Army Infantry.

  • Finally, some more about how to get ready, yeah, I had to make the decision to go all in.

    For me it came done to this;

    If thing dont make sense in the news today, if you think the feds are lying to you about how bad thing really are, and how bad things will get, then maybe its time to take some proactive steps/countermeasures to protect you and yours.

  • and dont feel like your going overboard, because you are not...you are on the right track for sure....I am maybe a bit extreem, I even built an underground hidden bunker...if its bad with looters you can shoot them, however, military you need a place to hide, and under the bed wont do...people need to plan a VERY good hiding place when and if the military go door to door....

  • you also need a long knife and a hatchet or small axe....dehydrated foods are a lot lighter and last a long time...but the drawback is more cost....

  • It's be worth it. Can someone tell me about efoodsdirect

  • Pasta, rice are good choices. Dried fruit, granola and jerky are good too. Tuna in the pouches is better. Cans are bulky and heavy. An army surplus P-38 can opener fits on a key chain. You are making a plan and that is a good start.

  • Reggie, China isn't loaning us money anymore. We only account for 5% of their exporting GDP.

    I would start buying 1oz bars of silver bullion if I were you. They are going for about 15 bucks. No way silver is going to actually end up costing less. If you look at the gains of silver over the dow and even GOLD, it is a much better investment than gold.

    Get your money out and put it into commodity before it's too late!

  • You should invest in a good rod,reel, and some tackle. Find all the places you can fish in the area. Use Google maps to find lakes that might be just up the road. As far as food goes your surrounded by it. Use the internet to find out the local vegetation that can be gathered and eaten safely. Get some good thermal clothing for extreme temperatures up there. Also check out what types of game are in the area for hunting if you must. You could also buy a solar panel for charging batteries.

  • not the worst bug out bag but far from the best

  • Get you some dried fruits instead of the cans and dont forget your toothbrush!!!

  • Good to see you're preparing DemCad..you kinda live in the boonies man. Might be okay for you to stay put.

  • My cat can operate a magnesium fire-starter. There is nothing "complicated" about it.

  • If you hadn't started a a video blog what would you have done with it? That's your answer. If you're not already set with a degree I would invest in a new education. That's your best preperation against anything. That's what I'm doing. Other than that get into some mutual funds and let it acrue 8% interest. You're young. You will have money again. Don't freak out.

  • what good is a degree or a mutual fund going to do when there are no jobs, and the dollar collapses? are you mentally challenged?

  • What good are 50 bags of rice, boxes of ammunition, and pessimism when this channel is gone in a year because there is no more bad news to report? Don't put your eggs in one basket. I know for certain some of you have kids and you're draining their college fund in favor of your movement. It's good to read between the lines, but pretty soon what you own, owns you. 50 little red thumbs down on this post aren't going to stop cooler heads from prevailing.

  • I will tell you a story.. It looks like you are trying to decide between making a memory, or investing wisely. When my Dad died, my sisters and I inherited some money.. My sisters invested the money, I took a cruise and a few other trips. I have great memories..they lost most of it in the stock market. I do think it is important to save some for a rainy day, but you just cannot live in fear of what may happen. If you do, you are already dying slowly.. Just my opinion..

  • get a pair of thermal pants and top. they are like spandex and really snug almost like a wet suit but in freezing temperatures you'll wish you had them. something light with really big wheels would be the easiest way to efficiently carry many supplies.

  • Reginald in snug spandex, lol. I'd give my right nut to see that!

  • You're wise to put your money into survival goods and equipment. That's where I've been putting most of my extra money since november of 2007. I wouldn't recommend keeping any of that money in a bank. Instead, put it into precious metals, diversifying some into ammo.

    For your bugout bag (in alaska) your first priority should be keeping hypothermia away. That means heavy insulated clothing, an arctic sleeping bag and a good tent. Research how to build a debris hut too.

  • Make sure you have a good tent and sleeping bag in your kit as well. Pack up everything in your pack to see if you can handle the weight- you don't want to discard something valuable in an emergency. Good video again with common sense information. God Bless!

  • I know what you mean by making a personal decision to "go all out." I made my decision back in October when the stock market collapse and I was watching economic indicators. Also, I'm a history buff, it was easy for me to reach my decision. The US economy is collapsing right in front of us NOW! I am commiting most of my time and money in supplies and gardening to salvage a little from this collapse. I am the only member of my family who believes that we are in a Depression now

  • small stove... i recommend a butane stove, extra butane canisters for the stove, map of your area,small tri fold shovel, more ammo, portable water containers, and a bible

  • hmm.. i suggest you get a good durable mountain pack with your money.. also bring some heavy duty garbage bags, mess kit, a few long lasting emergency candles, a small and powerful tripleA LED flashlight with extra batteries, machete, hunting knife, 3 in 1 coffee packetts, extra matches and lighters, add some extra clothing in your bag, crack radio with flashlight, be sure to have rugged hiking footwear, water filtration device,

  • You're right. This backpack isn't going to do it.

  • you took making a survival pack into something entertaining and funny. good job, very interesting.

  • It would be wise to get a can opener with less moving parts. Moving parts and machinery are the enemy in rugged living. I would also invest in a Kabar combat knife. PS. you do not know frustration until you try to open a can with a butter knife. I have perfected it but its dangerous.

  • when it says removed by author do they mean author of the comment or DEMCAD

  • It means "removed by author." As in the author of the message. If you create a message, you are the author.

  • An Idea for your bugg out bag. For your bag you might be interested in a Large A.L.I.C.E. pack. If you want food that is light weight and will last a long time, try getting some MRE's. And you might want some cleaning supplies for your gun. A rip-stop poncho with some 550 para cord would be good too. Plus some water purifacation tablets. And lastly, get a good amount of gauze and or feild dressings along with a terniquite incase of serious injuries. I hope this helps friend.

  • I think Yams are good to stock up on as they hold for six months without refrigeration. They can be peeled easily with your hunting knife and are a storehouse for carbohydrates which provide incredible energy for your body. Even outside of your food preparation..it's just wonderful to have Yams on hand. I love them. You can make a nice hash out of them for breakfast..boil them like a potato for dinner. It would make a great addition to your list of survival foods.

  • Store a few of them in a small mesh bag for portability. You can get a nice mesh bag at walmart in the laundry section.

  • Sorry to keep posting, but, I also think that you should stock up on 100% Aloe Vera Juice/Gel. The stuff contains over 200 compounds that cures illness such as skin disorders, indigestion, it's a natural blood thinner like warfarin..so it will help prevent heart attacks & the list goes on. But, I'd look at some naturalistic healing herbs, juices and berries. Consider buying a cheap dehydrator and start dehydrating and storing fruits like bananas, berries you can make your own raisins as well.

  • Invest in some really good clothing...Heavy duty boots,jeans,socks etc. You might be surprised how quickly your tennis shoes will wear out in the woods. AND get a few pairs of leather gloves for the B.O.B.

  • Bug out bag? I remeber years ago when people were building bomb shelters.lol It's the same hysteria. Wether the system collapses or not something will replace it and people will buy and sell that is something that has been going on for thousands of years.

  • Comment removed

  • yea, the dog food chili,snd really all stuff in can except sardines, maybe are not good choices. Water filter, small guns/bullets, dried food, dried herbs,cash,toilet paper(flat),batteryless items.

  • Maybe a couple TP rolls....smoked salmon dried fruits, more nuts, emergency blanket, flashlight, tho it stays pretty much light up there this time of year.

  • Don't know bout ev'one else but if things collapse with a major shift come summer/fall this yr, all debts are off-I ain't paying. Like VV said bout Credcard, I send the Fed all my bills. LOTS bullets.

  • wow yea this is really gonna be bad. America doesnt have it anymore

  • Pay all your debt. acquire 1 year of food and supplies. Divide food into long and short term.

    Buy junk silver. You also need a pistol (9mm or .45 acp), and a battlefield rifle (.223 or 7.62), a .22lr w/ a scope would help.

  • I'm not in debt.

  • Got my 72 hour emergency bags. I also have week long emergency reserves in the trunk of my family's vehicle. I am now getting emergency kits prepared for other family members and giving them as gifts. Some of them will think I am nuts but a few of them will appreciate my gift. I hope it is one gift they never have to use.

  • Get some Chinese Renmimbi and a few Euros.

  • Switch your food to MRE's (with heaters) or freeze dried the weight reduction will be helpful. Get a water purifier.

  • Gotta have the bug out bag. Remember a hatchet and military shovel!

  • In regards to the money put in half into all out keep half behind.

    For your bug out bag, you'll need to lighten the weight quite a bit. Look at ready to eat meals. Wet wipes are lighter in individual small packs.

    Get a mylar blanket small and usefull. Also there are small tents that you might need for shelter.

  • A bug out bag is a great thing to have. I lived in LA during the riots .... I had to bug out from my business - they torched the buildings all around me. You never know when you need to run and for what reason. I fully expect riots in the streets within the next decade ... probably sooner than later.

  • Think it's smart to spend the cash... use a bit to pick up some gold and silver coins as well...

  • guys you can prepare for the collapse all you want, but this economic problem will happen again and again until we destroy the source of the problem, which is the greedy people running our economy.
