My personal exodus from the city landed intentionally away from potential looters with a well that is a far cry safer and accessible than city water. I remain financially challenged, just as you may be on your journey into self-sufficiency. But better to have a basement full of life-sustaining food, and a woodstove to warm you, than a room full of gold or designer clothes vainly collecting dust.

I’m convinced I will never be finished with my preparations. I doubt that you will be either. There is always a goal just out of reach. Mine is an ATV. It would be nice to have a mode of transportation when calamity strikes.

In the meantime, many years of research made the impossible possible while I learned there are many ways to stretch a dollar, even a dollar as disastrously devalued as ours. There are free blogs offering food storage recipes, farmers who will happily sell you beans, wheat, fruits, and vegetables for pennies on the dollar, random grocery stores not so greedy they won’t sell you bulk goods at a fair price (bless them), craigslist for cheap supplies, and survival and preparedness websites whose generous wisdom will share how you can avoid standing in line for a handout when calamity strikes.
