How to prepare your family to survive and thrive in todays uncertain world
We all know that the economic climate around the world is pretty awful. The job situation still sucks, stock markets world wide are collapsing, and the outlook isn’t getting better. In fact, it’s getting worse. Right now it looks like we may be on the edge of another major credit crunch. Financial companies are dropping [...]
Full disclosure time. I’ve been in a pretty big funk lately. There’s a number of reasons, and probably quite a few that I don’t know about. All in all, I haven’t felt the writing muse for a while. It’s tough to write about preparedness related stuff while keeping a positive tilt on things, and lately [...]
(Warning: A bit of language slipped into this one … I got a little excited. I left it in because it’s how I genuinely feel, but if you don’t like a few choice words, you may want to skip a few parts…) Despite the focus of most of the world and the press being solidly [...]

I know this is a hot topic because I’ve gotten several emails and a few Twitter messages about ways to guard against the continually eroding dollar. The thought of ending up with paper money worth no more than the paper that it’s printed on is a bit scary to say the least. As you know [...]

Today I want to write about another collapse that is more recent but also very different in root cause. The core of the collapse remains hyperinflation, but in the case if Zimbabwe the causes of hyperinflation are drastically different. [...]
Today we’ll talk about inflation! I’m hoping you’ve read my article on deflation and depression and my primer on currency. If you haven’t read those two posts, go read them and then come back and continue here! In the deflation article we established that deflation is an overall decline in price, or increase in the [...]
