The Power Grid Collapse Nobody is Talking About
The video below was from last week, but it’s a good reminder about how the power grid is only getting worse. Although I’ve long warned about inflation and rising gold and silver prices as something we should be preparing for, the power grid infrastructure (and growing demand) is an increasing concern too. Because the truth…
Is Bug Out via Interstates Really an Automatic Death Sentence? Maybe Not.
The question of whether to evacuate via interstate highways or “back roads” reared its ugly head again. But I’ve seen this debate play out in forums and Facebook groups from time to time. People line up on both sides, but most preppers say that evacuating via interstate amounts to little more than a death sentence.…
These 20 Items Disappear First in Hyperinflation (And Why History Keeps Proving It)
I’ve been warning about economic collapse for years now. Not because I enjoy being a doomsayer, but because history has a nasty habit of repeating itself.

Gold and Silver at All-Time Highs, Yikes!
Gold and silver recently hit all-time highs, and I didn’t even realize they were heading towards the stratosphere. (At the time of this writing, silver is over $90 and gold is over $4600.) I haven’t bought precious metals in years, and honestly, I’m kicking myself a bit. Like many preppers, I purchased some gold and…
