Creating A Venezuela Collapse Supply List​

May 22, 2016
New Preppers and old, this is a list of the things that are running out in the collapse of the economy in Venezuela. By watching what is running out there, we can prepare better here! It's a handy list of things to stock for a total economic collapse as well as many of the day to day emergencies you may face.

Just be aware in the wet markets of Venezuela that the monkey meat you think you are buying might actually be cat or dog.
 
 
Commentary / opinion podcast by the Canadian Prepper. Nothing to see, can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. As usual, take it fwiw and dyodd.

Grandma Was Right: Why You Should STOCKPILE (Wisely)​

Dec 30, 2025 #Stockpiling #Inflation #FrugalLiving
🥫 Modern finance calls it "hoarding." Your grandmother called it "common sense." 🥫
🛒 We live in an era of "Just-in-Time" delivery, where we are trained to buy only what we need for the next few days. But when supply chains break and inflation spikes, this convenience becomes a trap. 🛒
📉 In this video, we explore why building a sensible stockpile isn't about doomsday prepping—it's about economic resilience. We analyze how converting depreciating cash into essential goods is actually a high-return investment strategy. 📉
🛒 From beating "shrinkflation" to securing your peace of mind, learn why your pantry might just be better than your savings account. 🛒

Any old-timer ever try to put together a bug-out bag?

I have a kit. TWO bags. A week's worth of food; medicines; warm clothing; water purification.

TWO duffles. Each about 40 pounds.

I can hustle them out to the car in about 5 minutes. If auto travel is not workable...I'm dead.

There's little there that I can do without.

It is what it is. End-of-the-World, vis-a-vis the last years of life.

I started doing that, when, ten years ago, my (then) apartment house (on top of the Yellowstone Caldera) had a significant earf-quake. This area is known for them, but this one was significant. Happened at three in the morning. I was up, having just gotten off work.

The drywall thrummed like a sound-board. Crap shifted in the pantry. I thought we'd been hit by a truck...there was a major road two-stories up, over a berm, with a curve. Cars had overshot that curve before - I thought a heavy truck had hit the building.

Nope. Everything held, even though I expected the brick facade or steel studs would give or collapse.

But I was thinking...what if I had to get out, and fast?
