It looks like western governments have overdone the quantitive easing and the bond markets are saying enough , any further and brokers may start selling their bonds before a likely crash and on a domestic level the economy is starting to look a little healthier bank of england may risk a small rate rise to offset QE . government borrowing rates have risen by a third in a few months..... the cost of food is rising year on year , ... never a better time to prepp as the world adapts to the peak oil situation...... hopefully we will all muddle through
Muddle through, looking at the posts and inwardly I have to say that's very British and Muddling through is probably the best way of describing us.Living on special offers and bargains is how we muddle through, Ebay ninjitsu by my wife and the best I can do betwixt city centre by foot, and 4 different supermarkets by car gets us by but only just, so surviving austerity is the name of the game, and hoping we don't get cut ourselves ( fairly clear that the disabled ones aren't going to by some miracle get better) should we get through that it's back to muddling through with luck, other than that it's general and again bargain driven prepping/stock rotation and trying not to waste anything, the shooting though could be useful is a fun hobby and that alone, given we had no outdoor fun prior to that, I pity people who have not had the time (or prefer denial of all possibilities) to think about prepping even in a small way, yet that's life and humanity, we live next to volcanoes and other threats that rarely cause complete devastation to a community.
We take our chances hoping that we won't have to deal with it (Disaster etc) and yet knowing that we might and at some point in the future our descendants will, my philosophy is to leave mine (descendants) better equipped than we were, making sure that they understand that the junk I leave behind could save their lives.
