I've been trying to warn my readers as well that things are about to get really hard. This is why we are so diligently seeking self sufficiency in our own lives. We are just starting up a food storage, with a goal of one year's worth of food stored up. We've been buying non-electric equipment, like a wood cook stove, a hand wheat mill, etc, we have purchased some silver and gold, and are stocking up on things... just in case. After studying every other time in history when hyperinflation has set in, I've come to realize that we are doing exactly the same things that these other societies did just before their collapse. We are merely limping along due to the unaware public. Eventually, I'm afraid, we won't be able to keep going. Thanks for reminding everyone the importance of preparing now!! I agree with you 100%!

We live about two hours from the Canadian border and we have also stored some of their currency as well. We bought gold when it was still $300.00 an ounce and have some of that stored with the extra cash. With our tax return, we are going to expand our vegetable garden and buy canning materials/dehydrator…although I have no idea how to do either, I will learn. Thanks for the tips!
