"Sadly gold and silver won’t be worth anything either when everything goes digital.
Imagine how many pissed off people there will be when they can’t trade a gold nugget for a can of beef stew."
You are quite mistaken: Those who planned ahead, and prepared have put some of their savings into...
Agree, and will ad from the instructions, the filters must be rinsed with "clean running water"....which may not be available...and if it is, why would one need a filter in the first place?
There is a downside to cleaning the Berkey filters

What is called “justice” here in America today is achieved through massive fraud and deception. One thing that is relentlessly driven home in law school is that it is far easier to deceive people than it is to convince them that they have been deceived.
I once read that in reality, some 97% of...
In all the above, the references to money should be changed to fiat-USD or some other fiat "currency" which has no inherent or otherwise intrinsic value.
Note that anyone who has the forward thinking and volition to turn some of his fiat currency into real money, gold and silver for example...
Inflation sucks up the purchasing power of your currency and transfers it to the central banks and gubmints.
They really should call it "dilution" instead of "inflation": credit created out of thin air, when spent, goes into the money supply and dilutes the purchasing power of all USD paper...
In 2008, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson threatened then President W that if he did not get a paltry 900,000,000 (nine hundred million) bailout, he would bring down the whole system.
Today, they are talking trillions........
Did you mean "cost ain't one of them"? It does seem like a disproportionate cost for the caloric value. However, most of us can survive on 1200-1600 calories per day as long as we are not in combat, so dividing it out comes out to about $10/day. There is a lot that goes into producing a...
Good nutrition is great, but in survival, calories are what keeps the engine running. Being in the best possible physical condition beforehand should be on all of our lists.
PS: don't forget the clean water. While the average joe can live a month or so without eating, most humans will be dead...
Night time is no problem with angry bees when it is warm. One night, back in the 60's, I backed over a 5-super (layer) hive (temp about 105F)....even with good bee gear, they still managed to sting me more times than I could count.
It was a royal mess for a couple of days.
If you connect your well water to the city water system, most Public utilities will require a back-flow preventer be installed to insure that your pump does not feed well-water back into the city water system.
A three way valve at the connection point will accomplish the same thing, but will...
