Like many Americans, you may have come to the realization that there are few or no signs of economic recovery in the United States. The inept federal government has done everything possible to prevent a true economic recovery and now you just want to know how to survive an economic collapse. Some Americans would even like to know how to make money during the economic collapse. Well, now is the time to prepare for both while you still have the means to do so. Taking just a few simple actions could put you well ahead of the crowd and in a position to survive and even prosper during the coming economic collapse.
The first thing you should do is to make sure you have access to safe and clean water to drink should there be utility and infrastructure failures (this could happen in a dollar collapse). Remember you can go weeks without food but only three days without water. Some type of filtration system will work well if you have access to water that may not be drinkable as is – say, from a river or lake. Berkey water filters do the job well. They are gravity fed and require no electricity. Another option that works well if you have electricity but no source of water is an EcoloBlue atmospheric water generator. An atmospheric water generator pulls humidity out of the air and can produce several gallons of water per day.
You should have at least three months worth of food on hand to prepare for the economic collapse. A years worth or more would be even better. You should stock up on foods that you usually like to eat. But if those are foods that do not keep for a long time you should also stock up on non-perishable dried or canned foods. If you can, plant a garden. And try to get healthy foods that are organic rather than typical survival freeze-dried foods, which may not be very good for you. You’ll want to be consuming high quality nutrition so you are better able to deal with the economic collapse and a stressful situation.
Medicine could also prove to be very important when surviving an economic collapse. If you can, have your doctor prescribe antibiotics to stock up on and whatever medications you are currently taking. Some doctors will not do this, however, but there are effective alternative medicines and natural therapies you can use too. Look into essential oils and colloidal silver as antibiotic substitutes. These can be purchased at health food stores and on the internet without a prescription.
Keep in mind that when things get tough and the SHTF, people can be more likely to use violence to get what they need. You’ll want to be able to effectively defend yourself from such people during an economic collapse. You can use various self-defense methods but a firearm is hands down the most effective self-defense weapon available to you. Learn what type of firearm will best suit your needs and then get trained on how to use it safely and capably. Do not take gun-safety lightly. Firearms are very serious weapons and should be respected as such.
As far as how to make money during the economic collapse is concerned, the simplest way is to buy physical gold and silver. Do this now rather than later because by the time the masses realize what’s going on and go on a buying frenzy, it will be too late. Big money is always made by a minority of people who were smart enough to position themselves well ahead of the mainstream. Right now hardly any Americans own gold and silver because they do not understand the likelihood of catastrophic economic collapse. When everyone else starts loading up on gold and silver, that will be the time for you to sell and take your profit. Gold and silver stocks and other commodities are also worth looking into if you have substantial capital to invest, but these are much more speculative and, therefore, dangerous investments. However, they also offer a way to multiply your wealth many times. Learn as much as you can before taking the plunge into these types of investments.
