Hey people, think outside the box. If currency does become worthless in the future, what can you buy now for pennies that will be worth its weight in gold later. In an economic melt down, anarchy, etc., what would people want that they would exchange their gold for? I am thinking hybrid seeds, canning lids, water purification, and yes, freeze dried peas.
This isn’t gloom and doom, it is an investment opportunity. Did you know that Mountain House freeze dried foods is not taking any new orders until fall because they are sold out! Some folks are already ahead of us.

Ahead of you, maybe.

Wake up people. You can protect yourself without Mountain House. Canned goods will last longer than many of us here have left to live.

Maybe? Maybe not.

I just placed an order this AM of #10 cans of freeze dried foods from Emergency Essentials, including Mountain House product.

Emergency Essentials sent an e-mail this AM that they had many Mountain House items back in stock.

I also checked Amazon and the vendor they use is also fully stocked on Mountain House.

IIRC, Mountain House was on deep back-order for much of the first half of this year, reportedly due to huge .gov orders...and preppers' heavy demands.

Don’t forget how-to books of every kind! The future may belong to the person who knows how to turn a bicycle into a water pump, or can convert a sewing machine over to treadle.

That wasn't the usual group or preppers or even the growing ranks thereof. It was the United States' Government ordering some 240 million freeze-dried meals.

Either someone is stocking up (or the usual suspects will be provided for, like someone's private army they wanted), or the Government has effectively interdicted the supply of freeze-dried foods to the consumer by stripping the market. Either way, if the SHTF, you can be guaranteed that there will be those who will gladly sell their souls for a full belly.

Uh, skip the hybrid seeds, they require fertilizer, go for the herloom varities. Not only do they produce better in a natural enviroment, they put out usable seeds.

If I was trading, I would not trade for hybrids. One shot crop that is too demading of the soil.
