Thanks for the link.
Not good,not good at all.
Dig out the lawns,set up a greenhouse like I did.
I posted a link way back on greenhouse geothermal heat.
Stock up on firewood NOW.Fill the garage,to the top.Fill half the yard if you can.You can always barter it for whatever you need.
Oh,btw,
you might want to think about boobytrapping the freezer...
if nothing else,maybe an alarm.

Great ideas guys! Thanks. I'll work on it. I saw the Optima batteries at Sam's Club. Think I'll shop EBay for some small solar panels, too, and go see a couple coin dealers, too, about junk silver.

I picked up Junk silver by the rolls on Ebay. Usually for Spot minus S/H costs. Can't beat that deal. Dealers are going to roll you. They will pay you 20 dollars or more less than spot and charge you a hefty fee over spot.

There have been several threads started about food riots throughout the world. Now, the first news reports that there are rice shortages in the US starting to "pop up" at local grocers.

Check out this forum started on US food shortages.

PO topic on U.S. Food Shortages

One of the pieces of advice given on this thread was to buy food with your gov't hand out when it arrives. Still good advice!

Here's an excerpt from an old book on buying and storing goods and food as inflation protection. I thought it could be useful to beginners here, and has some thoughts for all of uswith regard to financial meltdown.

Alpha Strategy

The website is full of essays with money advice, mostly a "hard money" outlook, FWIW.

edit: Many thanks to Seahorse for the headsup by starting this thread!

And you can make land mines out of old balloons and nitroglycerin! ...Well, actually, you have to throw them. But they're still pretty effective!

That website you linked to is great. Lots of good doomer info.

BTW, I found this link to the entire book "The Alpha Strategy"
