Common Sense Family Preparedness |
There are a lot of people that have seen the current economic crisis coming and have been preparing for years. I used to work on Wall Street and specifically moved out of New York City largely because I was concerned for the direction this nation was headed. I have read a lot about individual preparation for a variety of scenarios and there are plenty of great resources out there. However, they really are geared towards people who have a lot of time to spend studying this information and also a lot of money to spend on implementing these solutions. For the average American, this is just not practical.
What I wanted to do on this site is try to use the knowledge that I have gleaned over the years through hours of study and combine it with all the knowledge that individuals in our membership network have to bring to people practical advice on what they can do to prepare for economic collapse or other disasters, if they happen. I do not believe one needs to go out and buy a bugout cabin in the middle of nowhere waiting for society to collapse. In fact, I believe that being in too isolated a location is not necessarily the best place to be as ultimately I believe individuals in communities will need to rely on each other to help the process of rebuilding the economy. If people are prepared, they do not need to fear the worst.
What I will be outlining here are abridged instructions for how the average person can start to get prepared for the worst. The content will be expanded over time. I think by far the most important thing people are going to need to grasp with early on is food. Sure, water is more important, and I will be shortly addressing that. But for most people, food preparations will be their most important expense to be budgeted because, quite frankly, water is currently very cheap. As a result the first resource we are releasing here is the barebonds food plan. This should be the number one preparation priority for each family. We will be following this with resoures on water, electricity, heating, etc. in the weeks to come so check this page periodically.
