20 Things You Will Need
to Survive When the Economy Collapses and the Next Great Depression Begins
to Survive When the Economy Collapses and the Next Great Depression Begins
Today, millions of Americans
say that they believe that the United States is on the verge of a major
economic collapse and will soon be entering another Great Depression. But only
a small percentage of those same people are prepared for that to happen. The
sad truth is that the vast majority of Americans would last little more than a
month on what they have stored up in their homes. Most of us are so used to
running out to the supermarket or to Wal-Mart for whatever we need that we
never even stop to consider what would happen if suddenly we were not able to
do that. Already the U. S. Economy is starting to stumble about like a drunken
frat boy. All it would take for the entire U. S. To resemble New Orleans after
Hurricane Katrina would be for a major war, a terror attack, a deadly pandemic
or a massive natural disaster to strike at just the right time and push the
teetering U. S. Economy over the edge. So just how would you survive if you
suddenly could not rely on the huge international corporate giants to feed,
clothe and supply you and your family? Do you have a plan?

Unless you already live in a
cave or you are a complete and total mindless follower of the establishment
media, you should be able to see very clearly that our society is more
vulnerable now than it ever has been. This year there have been an
unprecedented number of large earthquakes around the world and volcanoes all
over the globe are awakening. You can just take a look at what has happened in
Haiti and in Iceland to see how devastating a natural disaster can be. Not only
that, but we have a world that is full of lunatics in positions of power, and
if one of them decides to set off a nuclear, chemical or biological weapon in a
major city it could paralyze an entire region. War could erupt in the Middle
East at literally any moment, and if it does the price of oil will double or
triple (at least) and there is the possibility that much of the entire world
could be drawn into the conflict. Scientists tell us that a massive
high-altitude EMP (electromagnetic pulse) blast could send large portions of
the United States back to the stone age in an instant. In addition, there is
the constant threat that the outbreak of a major viral pandemic (such as what
happened with the 1918 Spanish Flu) could kill tens of millions of people
around the globe and paralyze the economies of the world.

But even without all of that,
the truth is that the U. S. Economy is going to collapse. So just think of what
will happen if one (or more) of those things does happen on top of all the economic
problems that we are having.

Are you prepared?
The following is a list of 20
things you and your family will need to survive when the economy totally
collapses and the next Great Depression begins….
things you and your family will need to survive when the economy totally
collapses and the next Great Depression begins….
#1) Storable Food
Food is going to instantly
become one of the most valuable commodities in existence in the event of an
economic collapse. If you do not have food you are not going to survive. Most
American families could not last much longer than a month on what they have in
their house right now. So what about you? If disaster struck right now, how
long could you survive on what you have? The truth is that we all need to start
storing up food. If you and your family run out of food, you will suddenly find
yourselves competing with the hordes of hungry people who are looting the
stores and roaming the streets looking for something to eat.

yourselves competing with the hordes of hungry people who are looting the
stores and roaming the streets looking for something to eat.
Of course you can grow your own
food, but that is going to take time. So you need to have enough food stored up
until the food that you plant has time to grow. But if you have not stored up
any seeds you might as well forget it. When the economy totally collapses, the
remaining seeds will disappear very quickly. So if you think that you are going
to need seeds, now is the time to get them.

#2) Clean Water
Most people can survive for a
number of weeks without food, but without water you will die in just a few
days. So where would you get water if the water suddenly stopped flowing out of
your taps? Do you have a plan? Is there an abundant supply of clean water near
your home? Would you be able to boil water if you need to?

your home? Would you be able to boil water if you need to?
Besides storing water and
figuring out how you are going to gather water if society breaks down, another
thing to consider is water purification tablets. The water you are able to
gather during a time of crisis may not be suitable for drinking. So you may
find that water purification tablets come in very, very handy.

#3) Shelter
You can’t sleep on the streets,
can you? Well, some people will be able to get by living on the streets, but
the vast majority of us will need some form of shelter to survive for long. So
what would you do if you and your family lost your home or suddenly were forced
from your home? Where would you go?

the vast majority of us will need some form of shelter to survive for long. So
what would you do if you and your family lost your home or suddenly were forced
from your home? Where would you go?
The best thing to do is to come
up with several plans. Do you have relatives that you can bunk with in case of
emergency? Do you own a tent and sleeping bags if you had to rough it? If one
day everything hits the fan and you and your family have to “bug out”
somewhere, where would that be? You need to have a plan.

#4) Warm Clothing
If you plan to survive for long
in a nightmare economic situation, you are probably going to need some warm,
functional clothing. If you live in a cold climate, this is going to mean
storing up plenty of blankets and cold weather clothes. If you live in an area
where it rains a lot, you will need to be sure to store up some rain gear. If
you think you may have to survive outdoors in an emergency situation, make sure
that you and your family have something warm to put on your heads. Someday
after the economy has collapsed and people are scrambling to survive, a lot of
folks are going to end up freezing to death. In fact, in the coldest areas it
is actually possible to freeze to death in your own home. Don’t let that happen
to you.

#5) An Axe
Staying along the theme of
staying warm, you may want to consider investing in a good axe. In the event of
a major emergency, gathering firewood will be a priority. Without a good tool
to cut the wood with that will be much more difficult.

#6) Lighters Or Matches
You will also want something to
start a fire with. If you can start a fire, you can cook food, you can boil
water and you can stay warm. So in a true emergency situation, how do you plan
to start a fire? By rubbing sticks together? Now is the time to put away a
supply of lighters or matches so that you will be prepared when you really need
them.

In addition, you may want to
consider storing up a good supply of candles. Candles come in quite handy
whenever the electricity goes out, and in the event of a long-term economic
nightmare we will all see why our forefathers relied on candles so much.

#7) Hiking Boots Or Comfortable
Shoes
Shoes
When you ask most people to
list things necessary for survival, this is not the first or the second thing
that comes to mind. But having hiking boots or very comfortable and functional
shoes will be absolutely critical. You may very well find yourself in a
situation where you and your family must walk everywhere you want to go. So how
far do you think you will get in high heels? You will want footwear that you
would feel comfortable walking in for hours if necessary. You will also want
footwear that will last a long time, because when the economy truly collapses
you may not be able to run out to the shoe store and get what you need at that
point.

#8) A Flashlight And/Or Lantern
When the power goes off in your
home, what is the first thing that you grab? Just think about it. A flashlight
or a lantern of course. In a major emergency, a flashlight or a lantern is
going to be a necessity – especially if you need to go anywhere at night.

Solar powered or “crank
style” flashlights or lanterns will probably be best during a long-term
emergency. If you have battery-powered units you will want to begin storing up
lots and lots of batteries.

#9) A Radio
If a major crisis does hit the United
States, what will you and your family want? Among other things, you will all
want to know what in the world is going on. A radio can be an invaluable tool
for keeping up with the news.

Once again, solar powered or
“crank style” radios will probably work best for the long term. A
battery- powered until would work as well – but only for as long as your
batteries are able to last.

#10) Communication Equipment
When things really hit the fan
you are going to want to communicate with your family and friends. You will
also want to be able to contact an ambulance or law enforcement if necessary.
Having an emergency cell phone is great, but it may or may not work during a
time of crisis. The Internet also may or may not be available. Be sure to have
a plan (whether it be high-tech or low-tech) for staying in communication with
others during a major emergency.

#11) A Swiss Army Knife
If you have ever owned a Swiss
Army knife you probably already know how incredibly handy they can be. It can
be a very valuable and versatile tool. In a true survival situation, a Swiss
Army knife can literally do dozens of different things for you. Make sure that
you have at least one stored up for emergencies.

#12) Personal Hygiene Items
While these may not be absolute
“essentials”, the truth is that life will get very unpleasant very
quickly without them. For example, what would you do without toilet paper? Just
think about it. Imagine that you just finished your last roll of toilet paper
and now you can’t get any more. What would you do?

The truth is that soap,

? #13) A First Aid Kit And
Other Medical Supplies
Other Medical Supplies
One a more serious note, you
may not be able to access a hospital or a doctor during a major crisis. In your
survival supplies, be absolutely certain that you have a good first aid kit and
any other medical supplies that you think you may need.

#14) Extra Gasoline
There may come a day when
gasoline is rationed or is simply not available at all. If that happens, how
will you get around? Be certain to have some extra gasoline stored away just in
case you find yourself really needing to get somewhere someday.

#15) A Sewing Kit
If you were not able to run out
and buy new clothes for you and your family, what would you do? Well, you would
want to repair the clothes that you have and make them last as long as
possible. Without a good sewing kit that will be very difficult to do.

#16) Self-Defense Equipment
Whether it is pepper spray to
fend off wild animals or something more “robust” to fend off wild
humans, millions of Americans will one day be thankful that they have something
to defend themselves with.

#17) A Compass
In the event of a major
emergency, you and your family may find yourselves having to be on the move. If
you are in a wilderness area, it will be very hard to tell what direction you
are heading without a compass. It is always a good idea to have at least one
compass stored up.

#18) A Hiking Backpack
If you and your family suddenly
have to “bug out”, what will you carry all of your survival supplies
in? Having a good hiking backpack or “survival bag” for everyone in
your family is extremely important. If something happened in the city where you
live and you suddenly had to “go”, what would you put your most
important stuff in? How would you carry it all if you had to travel by foot?
These are very important things to think about.

#19) A Community
During a long-term crisis, it
is those who are willing to work together that will have the best chance of
making it. Whether it is your family, your friends, a church or a local group
of people that you know, make sure that you have some people that you can rely
on and work together with in the event that everything hits the fan. Loners are
going to have a really hard time of surviving for long.

#20) A Backup Plan
Lastly, it is always, always,
always important to have a backup plan for everything.

situations rarely unfold just as we envision. It is important to be flexible
and to be ready with backup plans when disaster strikes.

rely on the government to take care of you if something really bad happens.
