Prepare: Fast Survival Questions Answered

I check my website stats frequently and see some interesting topics that people are searching for regarding preparedness, survivalism, storage food and retreats among other things.

Here are some quick answers to those search phrases which lead people to this site and who need that information in a hurry!

pre 1964 coins

US quarters, dimes and halves minted before 1964 have 90% silver content. This means they are a viable form of "real" money. In the event of the dollar collapse, these coins are good to have and can be found in pocket change (sometimes) but can also be purchased in reasonable quantities which won't break anyone's bank.

thrive food

Costco warehouse store has an online store which sells Long Term Storage (LTS) under the Thrive brand name. The food is freeze dried, shipped in big number 10 cans and can store for several years. Comments from buyers say the taste is very good and they are very happy with their purchase of Thrive.

shtf stories

There are a number of websites which feature shtf fiction stories. Try checking Frugal Squirrels, shteconomy.com, whenshtf.com, survivalistboards.com and preparednesssociety.com. Story "Lights Out" is no longer available for free download online. Tom Sherry's stories are no longer available online with the exception of "Remnant". The earlier chapters can be obtained from the author.

cheap survival food

Cheap survival food describes food that working people can afford to buy extra and stock for hard times. It includes dried beans, rice, flour, pasta, grain, sugar, salt, and cooking oil. When supplemented with meat from hunting, small scale livestock, foraging and a vegetable garden, a family can survive and avoid starvation.

how to prepare for the end of the world

First, there is no way to prepare if the world truly ends other than through religion, faith and prayer.

However, one can prepare for any number of calamities which may be better described as "End of the world as we knew it" or "the collapse of society". Store food, water and seeds. Establish a remote, rural retreat. Stock weapons and ammunition. Allign with other like minded people. Set aside some trade goods for post-end of the world.

shtf guns, shtf ammunition, shtf calibers

Top guns and calibers to have for the post-SHTF world.
Shotgun - 12 or 20 guage.
Rifle - .22, .223, .308, 7.62x39.
Handgun - 9mm, .40, .45, .44, .38, .22

Get as much ammo as you safely obtain, afford and transport. Get extra magazines if your weapon uses them. Get decent cleaning equipment. Learn to shoot!

the road

Its a book by Cormac McCarthy. It is the ultimate survival, depressing, end of the world tale ever written. Read it and be thankful for everything you have. Then try and prepare for the events described in the book. Nearly impossible.

Hope these little bits and pieces help. Have a great day!
