CHICKEN LITTLE, THE SKY IS FALLING!
YOU WERE RIGHT!
YEAH, DICKHEAD!! WHAT DIDYA THINK?
These are the items you will have to have on hand to enter the Second Great Depression.
#1. Generators (Good ones cost dearly. Gas storage, risky. Noisy..
target of thieves; maintenance, etc.) CONSUMER REPORTS must
be studied to get good brand of cheap generator.
#2. Water Filters/Purifiers (Shipping delays increasing.) Britta filters.
#3. Portable Toilets (Increasing in price every twomonths.)
#4. Seasoned Firewood (About $100 per cord; wood takes 6 - 12
mos. to become dried, for home uses.)
#5. Lamp Oil, Wicks, Lamps (First choice: Buy CLEAR oil. If
scarce, stockpile ANY!)

too much.)

Slingshots best HUNTING rifles for birds, rabbits
#8. Hand-Can openers & hand egg beaters, whisks (Life savers!)
The blade on canopener lasts a year so buy several!

#10. Rice - Beans - Wheat (White rice- 50# bag. Sam's Club, but I
recommend you hit INDIAN groceries and get BASMATI rice.

BREAD RECIPES

boiled, etc.)

psychic. They are not stupid. They watch events and deduce! During this
Sept 2008 Financial crisis, Home safe sales have soared as trust
in banks collapses! Worried savers are taking their cash out of banks and
investing in home safes in an attempt to beat the current banking
crisis. Myself I don't like safes. I like waterproof boxes buried
under a rosebush. Keep a map. MR LINCOLN, $2,000 in fives. ROSY DAWN
- $5,000 in 100's. Stuff like that.
