With your life revolving around smart this or smart that, here is the up side that's been created, by the sheep.
Hope you enjoy it when it hit's, your hood. Some react like the power has been out for a week when the net is down for just 2-3 hrs. Hope everyone Enjoys the fruits, once it starts here.

Until cash is worthless in a real SHTF scenario...

Don't compare SHTF events previously with what will be today's version. Today we live in a plastic age...people buy everything, even a cup of Joe, with a credit card. Makes no difference whether you pay the card off at the end of the month or you accrue debt. If the infrastructure goes down and you can't use your plastic, what will you use? Never before in our history has this been the state of affairs.

If you believe that cash won't be king when the plastic won't work, I feel bad for you. Cash will not only rule, it will be worth more than face value. Only thing better will be bullets, gold or cigarettes
 
I have seen the effects an worked many a natural disaster. I will tell you this, when the power goes out or the uplink drops, it all reverts to cash immediately. No store will take your IOU unless they know you, or a local they know vouches for you. When we went into areas where the power had been out for days or the up links were down, we kept between 25-30K in cash at the rally point to hand out to our people to complete our mission. We did not have time to mess around an paid the price, they ask if we had to buy something local. Now just think if you were on the road with your family an the power was out or up links were down for a 300 mile radius what are you going to do, set an hope? Hope is never a plan,...

There is a reason cash is king. Stack it deep and in multiple denominations if your finances allow.

I'd be careful with large stacks of the high denomination ones like $100 and such.... they may just decide to one day demonetize them for "money laundering" prevention.

India did just that...as a way to really screw over the poorest of their population.
 
It's wild how people freak out when the Xbox or Playstation network, Facebook, Instagram servers go out for like 3 minutes.. people act like there's a crisis going on.

Old fashioned porn... on paper. Be ready.

This reminds me of this a guy on the Reagan that had a DVD duplicator.. he could make 6 copies of any movie at a time. He would sell porn for $5-10 a disc and just made a KILLING at it. Probably cranking out at least 50 discs a day to people because there was no internet connection. Couldn't even imagine how much paper porn would be worth at a situation with no power!

One other thing that is even more insidious and going to be more likely, is the government hand in hand with the technocrats selectively blocking anything they don't like so you may not notice it at first it also has a subtle effect of forcing you to only say what they want.
Kind of like if you are calling someone in a "residential" program, you say something the person listening in doesn't like and the line goes dead & you have to call back, over and over till you get the point and only say what you "should" say.

Much like the internet in China. If you go somewhere not "approved" the connection just slows down to a crawl and stalls out...

Also Facebook in their latest Virtue Signaling roadmap, mentioned that they will be rolling out "AI" censorship of your supposed "private" and "Encrypted" chat apps such as Messenger, Whatsapp and various other properties that can "dynamically" block anything that might be "negative" or "hate speech" from being transmitted (and of course report it back on you too).

Few folks these days bother to even pick up the phone & call.

Imagine how much fun they can have when everything seems to work but if you say anything they don't want transmitted or any news, the message just never makes it to it's destination, but your latest cat video gets there just fine. Will anyone notice?

And this is new how ?
WW1, news censorship, hill people waiting on weeks old newspapers, the traveling salesman with news, the hobo even a news source, food and materials rationing, price controls on your goods, and your staples, and materials collections for the war effort with no compensation.
You, Joe Civilian do without. Fat cats did not do without.
WW2, news censorship, fireside chat propaganda, until Joe C talked to an actual Bataan survivor, old newspapers slanted by .Gov and MSM, the salesman, the hobo, the returning serviceman, real news, price controls, food rationing, materials rationing, gas rationing, black market, putting people in internment camps, putting vocal protesters in jail or asylums...

Just because its plastic $ and the internet, just what is new about the way it goes.....

Survival now, is the same as then.... the hillbilly mountain clan isnt such a bad idea after all, is it....
The farm community where family values matter, where War of Northern Aggression survivors taught their children survival, who became WW1 survivors and Depression survivors who taught WW2 survivors, who taught some of us, who tried to teach our children, alas, they chose a faster lifestyle but are going to have to learn survival on their own....

Just how is it so different and nobody knows how soon, any more than the previous generations.
For some people, its tomorrow when they get sick, fired, or bankrupt by events beyond their control.

It has been b4, it is now, and it will be. Some things never change, and cold hard cash is one of them, a food source is another, and the ability to protect you, your cash, and your food....
The survival modus is always the same, the generational infrastructure may change. Word of mouth, pony express, mail man, newspaper, radio, TV, internet, same same...

If your mileage varies, there are going to be problems.

Darwin is gonna collect a bunch. Could see improvements...

I'm a pretty firm believer that if we ever really get to a SHTF situation, where everything is shut down and the government is removed, cash will be completely worthless. We'll get back to trading for gold, silver, hogs, basic necessities. Back to the wild west.
 
Mother nature SHTF events, save a Yellowstone, cash would be king. Man made SHTF cash would be worthless. Unknown SHTF to those effected I give cash a 0-2 week high seat, after that it starts to become worthless. I know of Pussy & Blow jobs, being traded for Food, Water, Ice, & Meds in less than 3 days after Hugo & Andrew both. Extremely sad to see what was once young to old, vibrant, God fearing woman trying to sell their body's (an yes some in front of their worthless spouse), just to save/help their children. When a block of Ice or gallon of Gas/Diesel = 10 bucks within 72 hrs there is a clue in that.
3 days, just 3 days after their world went to shit an they were back 200 years,... even as lots of recovery help was known to be pre staged. Some of the events/things you would see were beyond belief unless you either seen it with your own eye or experienced it first hand. Most want to think they have a grip on reality until perception becomes reality, and smacks them up side the head.

I wanted to think people were learning from those two events I was involved in, yet during Katerina the same story's an worst were relayed back to me by those I would trust my life. So it seems nothing changes unless it's for the worst. Some people will receive an deserve their actions based upon their train of thoughts prior to. Others will just step sideways while moving along, as if nothing but tree fell across the road or a light bulb had burnt out.
 
^ If u serious about survival, better read that several times.....
That writer isnt the only person who's viewed those scenes, and they never seem to change.
Darwin will thin the herd. The more socially educated and sophisticated airheads suffer the most, most times. Into a level of vicious they cant conceive, and some cant live with after.

Useful things.....……..
 
One time pads are good but many groups that are trigger points for the whole (man made) end game have devised a better system. People who will be the first to disappeared (or be on the kill list) to a man/woman has a dooms day, no saftey release trigger plan in place. While Ham Radio is great for many things it can pose a issue as well, depending. There are other means of comms that modern man can not track or subvert, an those are quickly being rediscovered.
