Re: Ideal habitat for survival long term.

The way I look at survival and preparedness you start with the most likely scenarios, job loss, (CHECK) short term disruptions, so you sock up on food and other essentials, (WORKING ON IT) start to get out of debt, (HELL NO, IF SHTF THEY WON'T NEED OR GET WHAT i OWE THEM) put money away.(HARD BUT TR...
