Survive The United States Economic Collapse

Using basic Austrian Economics an impending economic collapse is imminent in the United States. With horrible debt, inflation, national debt, and multiplying debt to GDP ratio an economic collapse WILL happen. I'm writing this article to all Americans or people of the world to help you survive the economic collapse.


Instructions


1. The first thing one must do is learn what they will do in food shortages or in cases of hyper inflated food prices. This requires somebody to well in advance start putting away non-perishable goods. There are many sites on the internet which detail safely store foods. There are also many videos on youtube which describe store foods for long term. You will need many beans, grains, rice, powdered milk, sugar, and yeast. Collect many staples that are eaten around the world. Store dehydrated fruits and vegetables as well.


2. Many economic indicators show that we could be in for it for decades. Plant several fruit trees on your property if possible. Learn garden and garden well. Plant foods that have a high volume of productivity (plant cherry tomatoes vs. large big pretty ones because they yield higher volumes & weight). Plant what grows well for your area and concentrate on that. In an economic collapse, experimental plants should be out of the question. Focus on what you can grow VERY well.


3. Silver and/or Gold is a must. Buy as much raw bullion as possible. Do not buy paper gold and silver either because in a collapse, futures markets can default as well leaving you with paper. Buy smaller pieces of bullion so that you can trade it easier. I put an emphasis on silver because right now it is more affordable and very liquid. If the currency (paper) value collapses, silver & gold will be a means of trade, along with barter.


4. Take up trades like sewing, mechanics work, and construction. If you are at a desk job now, be sure that you are skilled in these areas. These types of trades can help you repair your home or somebody else's home if needed without having to call a pro.


5. Have spare 2X4's in the garage or tucked away somewhere ready to go. If needed, you can secure your windows and doors with these if needed (in the event of mass rioting).


6. A 12 gauge you will need. Many many people argue and debate what type of gun or what kind of bullets, clips, and defensive / hunting weapons you will need. A 12 gauge is simple, cheap, widely available, and nobody will argue that a 12 gauge is a wonderful gun to own. It's great for hunting, and great for general home defense if needed.


7. Put away extra clothing. Stock good quality clothes with fabrics made of wool & high quality cotton mixed with polyester. A good wool sweater will keep you through any temperatures and cotton + polyester T-Shirts will last for years in the summers. Stock good quality boots, work boots, and shoes.


8. Stock a good quality pellet gun. The ammunition is cheap, they are very quiet, and you will be able to hunt all the fowl you want if needed. These are also great for getting small critters too.


9. Stock some supplies for camping. These can help you in a pinch. Stock propane & gasoline too.


10. Google articles on economic collapses in Argentina & Zimbabwe. These are great resources as well to help you survive. In a collapse, do not trust anybody. What is reported people will come up to you dressed well and who look descent & rob you.


11. Use your wits, trust your gut feelings always, and don't give benefits of doubt ever. Take care and good luck, we'll all need it!
