“If the nightmare scenario plays out as I suspect it may then the debt situation gets worse. There is currently no exit strategy and the reaction to the crisis of policy makers remains a big worry.”
As a result, Fry is telling investors to play it safe and buy physical assets like land.
“I don’t want to scare anyone but I am considering investing in barbed wire and guns, things are not looking good and rates are heading higher,” he said.

For those who wish you may donwload my Preparednes Manual at:

I just wanted to say that I did, and that while I haven’t read through it yet ( I did start it), I did enjoy the LDS Preparedness Manual that you accredited and look forward to going through your manual as well. :)
also include band-aids
Home Depot sells 1/4 mile spools of barbed wire for about $65. That’s about as big of a spool as one person can handle at a time, and it makes great tangle-foot obstacles and barriers to slow down intruders. I’ve got 2 spools in my kit and may add another if I can find the space to put it.
Have you tried that, and is it any good? I have been considering it since I first saw it, but am not that adventurous.
Since I don’t have enough land to farm, once I got the personal armory fully stocked I’ve been buying canned goods whenever I see them on sale. Canned veggies, canned hams, even Spam .....
He doesn’t want to scare anyone...but he is scaring me!
Everything I read on FR makes me want to cash out of the market, but I have not done so yet.
I have already tended to self defense needs, but food, land, and barbed wire not so much.
Then, 10 feet in from the buckthorn, I planted an inner perimeter line of Texas red cedars eight feet apart all around the line. Didn't cost me a cent, as I just dug out seedlings under the larger cedars already in the yard and went from yard to yard offering to dig up all of their little cedars. The seedlings varied in height from six inches or so to two feet tall.
After they were all planted, I went out to the open range on Fort Hood after a major field exercise and policed up about 50 rolls of concertina wire. I unrolled the concertina wire over the seedlings and carefully monitored their growth over the next five years.
Now, the buckthorn is growing along the inside of the fenceline, backed up by some very nasty 20-foot tall red cedars, with their branches interlaced through growth.
Inside that cedar hedge, at a varying height of between two and five feet, is a coil of very sharp, very rusty concertina razor wire.
My late wife wanted bunkers and machine gun nests, but I had to draw the line somewhere. [smile]
When the doorbell rings, either my present wife or I will look out the small kitchen window that flanks the front door and porch. If it's someone we don't recognize, we retrieve the pistol (for me) and the shotgun (for her) and open up the window to ask them their business.
Should they try to break in the steel door, they're going to have a little problem because, whenever one of us is in the house, the two deadbolts are thrown (2.5 inches of deadbolt into the doorframe which is a treated 4x4) and the bar is across the middle of the door (a 2x4 in the manner somewhat akin to what you see across castle gates held in steel braces with 2-inch bolts securing it to the 4x4 door frame).
The windows are all covered with painted treated wooden lattice .. easy enough to kick out if you have to escape a fire, but delaying and noisy enough to discourage break-ins .. and, underneath the paneling below the kitchen window is a 4'x4' piece of 3/8-inch steel plating from a salvage yard, in case of gunfire into the kitchen when we're asking them their business.
We live well out in the sticks, away from the main road .. a lot of privacy, but we're pretty much on our own. My wife, who is from England, took to the property and the Texas way of life with guns like a duck to water.
I just finished the book “One Second After” a well thought out and terrifying fiction about what could happen if an EMP was set off over America.
The most precious item of exchange within a year of the event was bullets.

I'll bring my guns, ammo, and my police/army experience. Any takers?
(Oh, must be within a few days walking distance from NYC!) Haha...

It appears George Soros is getting just what he wanted from his “purchased administration”.
Disappointing that your manual is only for Christians.

Yep. Not a bad investment either.
Thanks for your kind words.
I have exchanged e-mail with Brother Parrett a number of times and he was most kind in his words and indicated that he himself was in the process of updating his LDS Manual and was looking at adding some of sections of my manual to his.
Lucky most of the manual is written by others and there is little of my own writing that one must suffer through!
