Honestly, the only reason to bug-out is if you both have nowhere to stay and some idea of somewhere else to go. Trying to live out in the woods isn't a long term strategy, and it's a pretty pitiful short term strategy. Have whatever gear for bugging out focused more on getting somewhere else...
Anyone know a good bugout bag that can carry a TON of weight? If I'm bugging out it's because bugging in has somehow failed, and I don't want to leave my silver behind.
MREs, according to a few links I found via Presearch, average 1,250 calories each. Two would easily consist of a day's worth of calories, so 96 would be about a month and a half of food considering a roughly 2,000 calorie per day diet. That being said, one could live off of 1,250 calories a day...
There was a capital city, I think in Bosnia, that was under siege for like a year or something. Society collapsed within the city for that time. A market eventually sprung up in one of the city's streets. They actually had issues with sniper fire until they hung up blankets so that the sniper(s)...

Buy good, thick mylar bags, a mylar bag sealer, some 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot, some oxygen absorbers, and rice/pasta/dried beans in large quantities. You will be storing away food for pennies on the dollar compared to what these companies charge. Also get canned meat, as that's going to...
There's a guy who runs a youtube channel called "Uneducated Economist". He examines and explains macro economics, but he works at a lumber yard so he also provides an inside perspective on lumber prices and what not. Interesting videos if you're into that kind of thing. He's been talking about...
Comparing currencies is a propaganda tool used to delude the ignorant masses. All currencies are currently fiat, and all are rapidly losing purchasing power because of inflation. The rate at which one is losing its purchasing power against another is a mostly meaningless thing to know. However...
The economy started its death spiral before anyone even knew about the plandemic. In mid September 2019 the repo-markets (repurchasing) completely failed and interest rates went up to 10% for overnight lending. Only after trillions of dollars injected into there did the rates artificially come...
