People who think they’re going to be safe buying property and living off the land are nuts. They have no idea of the work involved. You better have years of experience living in the bush or a hired farmhand who knows the business.

Furthermore, an isolated farm is not defendable. You’d need to set up a perimeter and guard that perimeter. For that you need manpower. The smell of cooking, burning fuel or running a generator carries for miles. You’ll be the first ones picked off during general anarchy. I don’t care how much ammo you’ve got. Looters will wait for you to walk to the outhouse or go beddy-bye and bam - you’re dead.

You’re better off moving to a small Christian community where the people are heavily armed and believe in the Constitution. There is strength in numbers.

Green Acres is a TV series, people. It’s comedy.

If I have gold … who will buy it?


Don’t think of the gold as helping YOU survive a crisis, but as helping your spare wealth survive a crisis.

Food, ammo, and other preparedness supplies are first priority for crisis survival.
