The best survival tool is a strong president such as Donald Trump. Use your creative imagination:

A light 22 caliber rifle, as much long rifle ammunition as possible and duct tape.

Cut a bicycle inner tube in half, pack it with a small magnifying glass, compass, strike any where wooden matches, wire, fish hooks and line, plastic ties, bleach tablets, beef jerky for bait, a whistle, a swiss army knife, needle and thread, lint from a clothes dryer. Pack it tight, then duct tape it shut.

Larger items for a back pack: all steel hatchet, two cup metal pot, sturdy saw, aluminum foil, tarp, wool clothing, light shoes, penicillin, iodine, small mirror, radio, flashlight and extra batteries.

Use your imagination and never give up.

I don’t think we are going to be running into this kind of problem with Trump at the helm.

In reply to Sabrina - Prepping Pros. I wondered how junk (pre 1965) U.S. coins would do in a financial collapse and whether the distrust of the currency would hurt their value.

Where I grew up there were a number of people who didn’t have electricity , running water (hence no flush toilets) or telephone heated and cooked with wood . I agree that a large number of people will die .. But it will be by disease (IMO).. People need to unlearn the ” Push The Button Mentality”.. take time in your backyard to learn to cook with a Dutch Oven and/or a Reflector Oven. Learn how to start a fire after a week long rain.. learn how to use a kero lantern .. If you don’t know to even use hand tools …etc.

Lots of good comments and ideas – how would a couple seek out other peppers willing to share ideas and preparedness in local areas? Needless to say, the time to think about this is now.

We will always have running water – the spring is uphill from the house :-) No propane deliveries? Build yourself a methane digester toilet. Your own waste will generate enough methane to cook your food. If you need more, say for canning, throw the livestock manure in there! No sense in being miserable, or letting everybody know you have power by running a generator. My husband learned how to dispatch lambs by cutting their throats. Silent meat. One guy in our valley is prepared to dynamite bridges on the roads leading in here.

A bicycle would be a great thing to have in a long term disaster scenario. It can be rigged to carry a backpack or other dead weight and it sure beats walking. My 20 year old bike doesn’t look like much (and very few thieves would even want to steal it), but it has a rack in front and one in back, and I can rig each rack with a basket or other container to carry fuel, groceries, a small pack, etc.

This is even more of a reason to stock up on barter items and “universal” currency like ammunition and precious metals.

One suggestion is purchase a nice used or new camper or rv, you can use it for recreation and it would be invaluable during a shtf event. Most campers and rv’s are self contained and are powered by 12 volts. What I’ve done is bought a decent sized portable solar panel to keep lights and water pump(both 12 volts) going, you can always carry water from a nearby stream or pond. I also stocked up on a few 20 lb propane tanks for heat, hot water and cooking. For a few hundred bucks (after you buy the rv ), you can put yourself in a position to hunker down in a comfortable situation for a few weeks. That’s my plan!!!

In reply to Wolf. You have provided some interesting insight but it would be even better if you knew how to communicate it.
