Default Re: What exactly will happen in the aftermath of the collapse?

I don't think anyone can tell us what it will be like.

I know what I am planning for: keep yourself in good shape, be prepared to lose your job and live off modest means for awhile. Think of alternatives methods for income and how you can reign in your spending.

Stock as much long term food, health and medical supplies and water as possible. If you can stock up on house essentials like paper household products and batteries, thats a good idea as well.

If you were able to stash some cash for gold/silver as a bonus great, have as much cash on hand as you can manage.

Take a leap of faith that bank deposits might whether the storm. I know I have, its tough to convince my wife to liquidate long term cds.. so I've managed to top off some cds, but the others well.. I just hope they are not lost forever. If they are.... sigh...

But I am planning for a crazy winter and as the webbot guys "summer of hell".

I really like what the halfpasthuman guys have been managing to get out there.. if our problems stay only economic, we can manage through this. I have been reading the urbansurvival newsletter religiously the past few weeks, he has excellent insight.

I also like this blog:

and Bob Chapman as well:

Friend of PC MStC has launched his own site too with a lot of interesting tidbits:

If they escalate this economic chaos into loss of human life, we are in for a paradigm shift.

And as Ringo says on his latest CD:
"Are you ready to Cross Over?"
