Play blackjack for grains of rice.
When you win, bump up the stakes to pinto beans.
When you win, bump up the steaks.

Hmmm. That means I should hoard rice, pinto beans, and decks of marked cards....

Many established people have been busybodies, rumor mongers and false accusers against the property rights and other civil rights of their neighbors. No contracts with them. They and anyone doing jobs for them will be on their own.

I also have a lot of those skills, except for the medical care. I can do self-aid/buddy-care fist aid stuff, but I don't birth no babies or work on teeth.
Heck, I'm not even sure where my teeth are right now.

I hear ya. One old lady here on the street is on her own. Sorry. She burned bridges with almost everyone in the neighborhood.

The author forgot what will probably be the single most sought after skill set:
Brewing beer.
We put back enough ingredients for pretty near 50 gallons. I reckon we are going to be right popular when the SHTF.

50 gallons isn't very much at all.
Legally, in the US, every adult is allowed to brew 250 gallons of beer. I know some homebrew guys that keep enough materials on hand for 1000 gallons. And they aren't preppers. ;)

To: JRandomFreeper
50 gallons is enough to get things going, trade for other stuff, additional ingredients, etc. I’m mostly limited by the number of E-Z cap bottles we have. Those things are not cheap.
And we are adding to our stash as we can. Other items are taking priority right now, mostly those of the brass and lead persuasion.
And food. And more medical supplies....

And I’d be really polite to those thousand gallon home brew folks if I were you. LOL

Since most carry, I'm always polite. But I won't need
their beer. I'll get by. ;)
