AMERICAS SURVIVAL GUIDE

FINANCIAL COLLAPSE AND THE SOON COMING CRASH OF THE U.S. DOLLAR

Many brilliant economic experts agree that there is a very small window of opportunity to make preparations for the inevitable catastrophic collapse of the U.S. Financial System. Americans who are heavily invested in U.S. dollars and in dollar denominated assets will find themselves ripped off by the dollars sudden loss of purchasing power. The coming crash of the U.S. dollar will bring panic, violence, suffering, and death throughout America. The soaring hyperinflation that has recently gripped Zimbabwe and the former Weimar Republic of Germany that led to the rise of Adolf Hitler is also coming to the United States of America. Americas Survival Guide is not an investors guide to make you filthy rich, but rather, it is a guide for surviving through the chaos and anarchy resulting from the fall of Empire America.

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL

America is running annual Trillion dollar deficits with no end in sight. The only solution the government has come up with is to borrow and print more money at an unsustainable pace. Americans are going to have to pay the price for the foolish spending sprees of their government. Many economic experts agree that the consequences of printing trillions of dollars out of thin air and borrowing trillions more with no end in sight will soon bring on a catastrophic collapse of the U.S. financial system and a catastrophic crash of the U.S. dollar comparable to the collapse of the Weimar Republic of Germanys currency and the more recent collapse of the currency of Zimbabwe. Most Americans are completely unprepared for the imminent consequences of its governments out of control spending, printing, and borrowing practices. There are catastrophic economic consequences for any nation that resorts to massive printing and borrowing to sustain its massive budgetary deficits. All nations who have already traveled down this path in recorded history eventually experienced a massive collapse of the value of their currency, extreme hyperinflation, and a collapse of their entire economy. We are not talking about the coming of mere inflation. Americans have been experiencing periods of inflation for decades. What we are now talking about is severe hyperinflation. The cost of food, goods, and services will soon rise so dramatically that Americans will not be able to afford the basic necessities of life. Americans have enjoyed relatively cheap groceries, food, fuel, goods, and services for decades but this is soon going to come to a tragic end! The foolish practices of the present and past United States Presidential Administrations is going to bring on a catastrophic economic crisis the likes of which Americans have never seen before! All nations that resort to the practice of uncontrolled printing and borrowing of money to keep their financial systems afloat will suffer the consequences of hyperinflation. It is now certain that hyperinflation will hit the United States of America within this decade. Most Americans will be completely unable to pay for the basic necessities of life. When Americans cannot afford to eat and pay for their basic living expenses then multitudes will resort to violence, rioting, and looting at an unprecedented destructive level never experienced before. This message is not what Americans want to hear but it is the truth! America is on a course which will soon lead to widespread poverty and violence that will impact all of America. We are particularly concerned about the tendency for Americans to become violent in the midst of crisis. When Asian countries recently experienced deadly catastrophic tsunamis, floods, and earthquakes the Asians did not resort to widespread looting, robbery, and murder. Yet in the recent Katrina disaster many Americans
Mike Larson was among the first analysts to predict the housing bubble before it actually occurred. Mr. Larsons paper, How Federal Regulators, Lenders and Wall Street Created Americas Housing Crisis received broad media coverage following its July 2007 submission to the Federal Reserve and FDIC. In the paper, Mr. Larson accurately predicted the long-term impact of the deepening sub prime mortgage crisis on the broader economy that the nation faces today. Mike Larson now predicts a FINANCIAL CATASTROPHE in the United States of America in the coming years. I'm at a loss for words, folks. These figures [the national debt] are horrendous ... outrageous ... infuriating ... and terrifying all in one. They paint a picture of a country that's on a collision course with financial catastrophe. Mike Larson Feb. 2010

began looting, robbing, and murdering other citizens. We are very concerned that America will erupt in violent riots, looting, robbery, and murder. Our current American generation as a whole is spoiled, sinful, and selfish. When Americas wealth comes crashing down and people find themselves living in poverty conditions much like most third world nations many will react with great hostility and violence. Many godly Christians have seen prophetic visions of American cities burning out of control from violent and destructive mobs. If Americans fail to make preparations for the coming collapse of the U.S. financial system and the coming implosion of the U.S. dollar then they will find themselves falling with the rest of the nation into abject poverty. Sadly, many Americans will die from the rampant violence, sickness, and starvation which shall permeate the nation. Most Americans will not believe this message of warning because they falsely believe that America will always be a land of wealth and plenty. They do not realize how vulnerable America really is, nor do they believe in a God who is ready to bring swift judgment upon America for its sins.

What will happen in large urban areas when the dollar crashes in value? What will happen when gasoline prices soar to $15 - $25 per gallon? How will Americans afford to pay for the gasoline to truck in the large quantities of food needed to feed millions of Americans living in highly populated areas? How could the government possibly bring in enough food to feed two hundred million people living in highly populated areas? If people cannot afford to buy food or if it becomes unavailable in supermarkets then desperation will eventually drive even normally law abiding citizens to violently try to take food by force. Widespread violence and looting will lead to Marshal Law but local law enforcement agencies and the military will be completely overwhelmed. Just as in the Katrina disaster, many Police Officers and military personal will choose to protect their own families rather than the general public.

Americas cities and populated areas shall burn out of control as hungry, desperate, and violent people unleash devastating destruction and chaos throughout America. When Americas food supplies are for the most part cut off from the populated areas, even military and police imposed Marshal Law will not be able to protect the lives and properties of most American citizens. It is up to you to make preparations now to survive and thrive during Americas frightening and catastrophic economic collapse. There will be a period of destructive civil unrest followed by a semblance of order. This is just the beginning of the collapse of the once great and powerful American nation. To find out why God is allowing this see our free book entitled, The Destruction of America.

WARNING! FAMINE SHALL STRIKE AMERICA!

Just as God gave Pharaoh a dream of seven fat cows and seven lean cows so the Lord has given the American church a prophetic warning of imminent famine. The Spirit showed us through the gift of prophecy that America will suffer from a famine (which we believe will be caused by an oil crisis) that will be so severe that there will not be enough gasoline to transport the food from the agriculturally productive areas to the highly populated areas throughout America. God revealed this in the following three visions: VISION 1. Three cows were grazing together in the field but each cow was missing parts of the flesh on its bones. The skeletons of each cow were complete but each was missing two thirds of its flesh. One cow had no flesh on its head and belly, another cow had the parts of the flesh of the other cow. And a third cow had the remaining parts of the flesh that was missing from the other two cows. The flesh on the bones of all three cows made up one complete cow. VISION 2. A fruit tree was observed with a strange stone wall circling all around it so that a man could not pick the fruit thereof. VISION 3. A water fall flowed off of a high cliff but a hot strong wind blew on the water fall so that the water evaporated before it could reach the earth. The bottom of the water fall was dry and the earth was cracked. The interpretation of these visions are as follows: The meaning of the three visions are ONE and the same. The three cows and the three visions are for emphasis. God is warning His people that a famine shall soon strike America. As the fleshy parts on each of the three cows was healthy so the cows will be healthy while they graze in the field. But as each of the cows was missing two thirds of its flesh from its bones so about two thirds of Americas food supplies will be cut off from reaching the American people, causing rampant hunger and starvation throughout America. The large sections of bare bones separating the fleshy parts on each of the three cows represents a deadly famine caused by a major disruption of Americas food supplies. About two thirds of Americas food supplies shall not reach the general public. The giant wall around the fruit tree makes plain the meaning of the first vision of the three cows with fragmented sections of flesh separated by bones. Americas fruit trees will grow with health and vigor in unpopulated farm areas but the fruit of those trees will not reach the majority of the American population living in highly populated urban and suburban areas. The water fall that was evaporated by a powerful wind also makes plain the meaning of the first and second visions. The wind indicates that the soon coming American famine will be sent from the LORD God of Heaven. The water in the water fall represents both the life giving sustenance of Americas agricultural base and its drinking water. The gas crisis will probably lead to the cutting off of much of Americas drinking and irrigation water. The heated wind may represent WAR (we believe a war in the Persian Gulf) which may deprive much of America of its its life giving agricultural products. As the heated wind did not allow the life giving water to reach its intended destination so a heated War (oil tankers and instillations shall burn) will likely deprive most Americans of the plentiful and affordable life giving food and water supplies that most
While writing this book I received a clear vision of what appeared to be an American destroyer being hit by a torpedo. I could see the destroyer shooting up three or four missiles in rapid succession before it was hit by a torpedo. The God of heaven has shown us that Americas military will suffer great losses in the Persian Gulf and in the Middle East in the near future. God gave us another vision of an aircraft carrier being hit with great loss of life.

LEFT PHOTO: AN OIL TANKER BURNING OUT OF CONTROL. IRAN HAS THREATENED TO BLOCK THE WORLDS OIL SUPPLIES BY SINKING SHIPS IN THE NARROW STRAIT OF HORMUZ. SHIA IRAN HAS FURTHER THREATENED TO ATTACK ITS OIL RICH SUNNI ARAB NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FACILITATING AMERICAS MILITARY AND ITS ECONOMY. SINCE SHIA IRAN HATES ITS SUNNI ARAB NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE ALSO BECOME ALLIES WITH AMERICA THEY WILL LIKELY STRIKE AT THEIR OIL SUPPLIES IN ORDER TO HURT THE WEST. WHAT BETTER STRATEGY COULD IRAN HAVE OTHER THAN ATTACKING BOTH ARAB OIL FIELDS AND ARAB OIL TANKERS THAT SUPPLY BOTH THE AMERICAN MILITARY AND ITS ECONOMY? UNFORTUNATELY, IRAN HAS THE MISSILES AND THE TECHNOLOGY TO CARRY OUT THESE THREATS!

ABOVE PHOTO: AN OIL INSTALLATION BURNING. THE NEXT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST WILL PROBABLY BLOCK OR DESTROY 40% OF THE WORLDS SEA BORN OIL SUPPLIES: Lebanon's al-Nahar reported on Tuesday (December 29th 2009) that Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak against an Israeli attack on his country. Larijani told Mubarak that if Israel dared to attack its nuclear facilities, Iran would launch a counterattack on Israel and all US bases in the country, as well as countries of the Gulf region. If Iran successfully attacks Arab oil installations in the Persian Gulf or if Iran blocks the flow of oil from the strait of Hormuz it will result in a catastrophic oil crisis and a complete economic collapse in the United States!
Americans have taken for granted. The winds also indicate that this is a judgment from the Lord God of Heaven for the rampant sins, greed, and ungratefulness of the American people. God is giving the God-fearing a prophetic Warning of a coming famine. Just as some Biblical famines were caused by war so we believe the soon coming famine will be caused by war. America is very vulnerable to the blockage of the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf. About 40% of the worlds oil flows through the narrow strait of Hormuz which can easily be blocked by Iranian missiles. America would lose close to 70% of its oil. There would not be enough gasoline to transport enough food to over 300 million Americans. Whatever gas is left would be far to expensive for most people to afford. Americans who are unprepared will suffer greatly. The coming gas crisis will further collapse the U.S. economy and speed up the currency collapse and hyper inflated prices the likes of which we have never experienced before! God has further shown us that another worse famine will come after the first famine (in the not to distant future) that will be caused by a prolonged drought. God is trying to wake up Americans to repent and to turn from their wicked ways. The coming oil crisis may or may not last very long but it will be long enough to wake up many Americans from rejecting God. When these prophecies are fulfilled many Americans will be awakened to heed other prophetic warnings that God has graciously given. Many worse plagues shall follow! The United States government has frantically tried to escape a full blown depression by carelessly and recklessly printing and borrowing money but there is no way to print or borrow our way out of this crisis.

Americas reckless bail outs and stimulus spending sprees will only make Americas living conditions much worse in the long run. Printing and borrowing money has just bought us some time to prepare for a much worse collapse in the near future. Moreover, the coming depression will be far worse than the last depression because in the 1920s and 1930s America and its citizens were not steeped in debt. Most Americans are struggling to keep up with their hefty mortgages, auto, and credit card payments. And the American government now owes more money than all of its citizens auto loans, mortgages, and credit card debt combined. In fact, the average American family of four now owes the U.S. government well over $500,000 in taxes in order to pay for unfunded entitlements and to balance our federal deficit. The American people will never be able to pay for its governments mounting deficits, nor can we keep up with the annual interest charges on the skyrocketing debt. The American Government is printing and borrowing its way into its own financial destruction. The writing is on the wall. A currency collapse is coming at the United States like a freight train. We could suffer a complete crash of the U.S. dollar within the next few months. It is unlikely that the Obama administration will be able to keep the dollar afloat until the last year of his administration. It is our firm belief that sometime in 2010 through 2012 the U.S. dollar bubble will burst and all will come crashing down. Those who fail to prepare now will find themselves living in poverty conditions just like many people who live in many third world nations. Many nations around the world are dumping the U.S. dollar both in trade and as a reserve currency. Rich Arab oil nations are planning to dump the U.S. dollar some time in 2010. When many major nations band together to dump the dollar it could easily lead to a domino effect in which the U.S. dollar will come crashing down just like I saw in a recent vision of a fiery meteor crashing down on a giant U.S. dollar. Then I saw that vision dim out and I saw thousands of pieces of paper currency on fire as it shot up into the sky and came down to the earth as smouldering ashes. The land of the plenty shall soon become the land of the impoverished! Most of the American middle class will become poor. Globalization and free trade is transferring the wealth of America to foreign nations that are beating us in the economic arena. Those who read and implement the economic strategy outlined in this guide will be empowered to survive and prosper during the most difficult times that America has ever experienced. If you fail to prepare now while the U.S. dollar is still relatively strong you may forever lose your opportunity to escape an impoverished future! Americas Survival Guide will provide you with a sound financial strategy to escape the life threatening effects of hyperinflation and a major disruption of food, goods, and services brought on by a soon coming oil crisis that will dwarf the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973. Those who fail to heed this warning will be very sorry later! We trust that you will carefully follow what we believe is a Spirit led and inspired guide to equip Americans to both survive and thrive during the perilous years ahead. May all of Gods true servants follow the leading of His Holy Spirit to be prepared for the coming economic collapse and a major disruption of food, goods, and services brought on by a catastrophic oil crisis the likes of which Americans have never experienced before. Just as Joseph made preparation during the years of plenty so we pray that Gods people will make preparations during the short time of plenty that America is still experiencing. We do not believe that we have years to prepare for this famine and subsequent financial collapse. We believe that catastrophic events, including a war induced famine will begin in 2010. If this famine occurs after 2010 then God is graciously giving His people more time to prepare. God has shown us visions of a door closing and an hour glass nearing its end. The time of preparation for the coming calamity is very short so you MUST START PREPARING RIGHT NOW!

The land of the plenty shall soon become the land of the impoverished! Wise Americans will convert their U.S. Dollars and U.S. dollar denominated assets into survival supplies and real money, silver and gold.

NO RECOVERY IN SIGHT Many Americans are trapped in a housing market where their hefty mortgages are higher than the actual value of their homes. Many are holding onto the hope that the housing market will eventually recover. But there is another wave of foreclosures about to hit the U.S. real estate market. The prices of U.S. real estate is only going to spiral downward. If you can sell your real estate do it now before the housing market completely collapses. For now, it is better to rent than to own a home. You should convert your home and U.S. currency into real money before it is too late. Silver and gold is real money!

THE CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE OF THE U.S. ECONOMY IS CERTAIN

Even the liberal Washington Post is sounding the alarm. In a November 14 editorial, titled "The Coming Debt Panic," the Post editorial board noticed that U.S. debt had soared under one year of Obamanomics from 41% of the gross domestic product to a whopping 53%. The editorial also acknowledged that the government has "borrowed" big sums from its own "trust funds" (as I have reported before, this is a shell game since the "trust" funds to which the Post is referring are actually vaults of government-issued IOUs). As for arguments that the Obama Administration will stop its emergency spending in time to save the country from a solvency crisis, Euro Pacific Capital's John Browne offers this far more probable outcome: "Any efforts to reduce these stimuli will result in an immediate correction toward our previous depressionary trajectory. Acceptance of this uncomfortable truth is a political third rail. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that any major government will change course. Rather, the change will be thrust upon them." The Spirit of Yahweh recently gave us another vision about the collapse of the U.S. financial system. I saw a close up vision of what appeared to be a white government building (I did not see the whole building) with small cracks developing in its walls. I saw President Obamas face smiling which gave me the impression that he was trying to hide the serious cracks in the white government building which had pillars. Then the cracks quickly expanded wider and wider so that all America knew that the country was in great peril. Then President Obamas face became much more serious as the building completely collapsed. I believe that the white building is symbolic of the both the U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar. As the cracks started they were very small so that most Americans did not know how serious the economic situation really was. But as the cracks quickly expanded, more and more Americans could plainly see the cracks until all of America finally woke up to the realization that the whole American financial system was completely collapsing (but by the time that the cracks quickly expanded it was too late to prepare). Those who did not prepare when the cracks were still small will be left in financial ruin!
The U.S. Government has stimulated the American Economy by doubling its paper currency in just one year. Even after printing such an enormous amount of money the printing presses are still rolling rapidly with no end in sight. Printing paper money out of thin air devaluates the value of any currency. Experts agree that it takes two full years before a nation will feel the full economic impact of printing too much paper money. Within two years the value of the U.S. Dollar should crash to less than one half of its current value!

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FOOLISH OPTIMISTS

Some have attacked me for telling people the real truth about Americas financial future. They charge, What kind of a Christian are you? A Christian is suppose to be positive but you are always negative. I am normally an optimistic person and Im still optimistic about my personal outlook for success and prosperity in the future but I cannot be optimistic that the U.S. economy is going to come out of this crisis. The Spirit of Yahweh gave me a vision of a fiery meteor hitting the U.S. dollar and then I saw the currency on fire while it shot up into the atmosphere and then it fell to the ground in ashes. How can I be optimistic about the future of the U.S. Dollar when God Himself has revealed its demise? Just as the prophets of old were ridiculed for prophesying doomy and gloomy judgments from God so are Gods messengers still ridiculed today for giving prophecies which appear doomy and gloomy to most Americans! The hard economic facts are not bright for the future of the United States either. The wise and well informed shall prosper in the midst of economic collapse but the unwise shall suffer great harm. The collapse of both the U.S. and European economies will make way for the one world ruler. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever . . . Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:3,10 Do not let the recent stock market rally or brief rallies in the dollar deceive you from the truth. The U.S. Dollar and stock market will have some brief rallies but the long term value of the U.S. Dollar will keep falling until it finally spirals out of control. The Holy Spirit is WARNING THE AMERICAN CHURCH that the dollar and the U.S. Financial System will collapse very quickly in the very near future. The government is actually doing its best to hide the terrible state of the economy by allowing the banks not to claim their toxic assets. The U.S. economy is actually on life support through the artificial stimulation of printing money out of thin air. The true condition of the American economy is frightening as reflected by the statements of many wise economists.

MANY RESPECTED ECONOMISTS BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS ON THE EVE OF FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION

THE FOLLOWING WISE ECONOMISTS ACCURATELY PREDICTED THE U.S. HOUSING BUBBLE AND CURRENT RECESSION. THESE SAME EXPERTS ARE PREDICTING SEVERE HYPERINFLATION, DEPRESSION, AND A TOTAL COLLAPSE OF THE U.S. DOLLAR. Marc Faber - May 27, 2009 (Bloomberg) The U.S. economy will enter hyperinflation approaching the levels in Zimbabwe because the Federal Reserve will be reluctant to raise interest rates . . . I am 100 percent sure that the U.S. will go into hyperinflation. The problem with government debt growing so much is that when the time will come and the Fed should increase interest rates, they will be very reluctant to do so and so inflation will start to accelerate. Peter Schiff - I am a 100% convinced that anybody who has their wealth in US Dollars will be just as broke as the people who had their money with Madoff. Gerald Celente - . . . by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation . . . there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts . . . Were going to see the end of the retail Christmas . . . were going to see a fundamental shift take place . . . putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree . . . it will be worse than the great depression . . . Were going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. Its going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. Its going to come as a shock and with it, theres going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, peoples minds werent wrecked on all these modern drugs over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybodys comprehension. Jim Rogers - The massive (U.S.) bailouts is going to unleash rampant inflation and a (U.S.) currency collapse . . . They are unleashing an inflationary holocaust . . . when you print giant amounts of money, that is going to produce hyperinflation. Robert Kiyosaki - . . . in 2008, the Fed began bailing out investment banks such as Bear Sterns, and its role in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle is well known . . . Even if we find more oil and produce more food, prices will continue to rise because the value of the dollar will continue to decline . . . I believe somewhere between today (2010) and 2020, the system will break. We're on the eve of financial destruction, and that's why it's in gold I trust. I'd rather be a victor than a victim. Very brilliant and successful economists are admitting the hard reality that we are indeed . . .

ON THE EVE OF FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION!

WHO WILL BAIL OUT THE GOVERNMENT WHEN THE DOLLAR BUBBLE BURSTS?

CHAPTER 1 WHERE ARE YOU LIVING?

Before we begin to make preparations to survive a national emergency or a complete financial meltdown in which essential life giving supplies may be disrupted or denied for an uncertain period of time we need to first take a good look at where we are living. We need to know that we can successfully protect our food supplies and live safely through a national emergency. If your next door neighbors do not have any food for a substantial period of time and you have food it is quite probable that somebody will attempt to take your food by force. The more hungry neighbors you have living in close proximity to you the more danger you will experience. Therefore, unless the Holy Spirit prompts you to stay in a populated area, it is imperative that you are living in a well protected or sparsely populated location in which there is an abundance of natural water, wood to burn for heat and cooking, and where you and your family can defend your supplies. If a national emergency continues for an extended period of time such as a biological warfare attack resulting in a Marshal Law enforced quarantine it will become necessary to grow, harvest, or hunt your own food locally. Iran has all the biological weapons that Russia had during the cold war because it hired three Russian biological weapons scientists when the Soviet Union collapsed. Iran may just have Hezbollah sleeper cells inside America with deadly biological weapons ready to be released when a war breaks out. Many Americans who are foolishly unprepared for the coming catastrophic crisis will find themselves without life-giving food and supplies. They will have to suffer the consequences of watching their families suffer from hunger, malnutrition, and even death! If you are living in a rural location where there are not too many neighbors and there is plenty of farm acreage you are in a very good location for long term survival through a calamitous national emergency. But if you are living in an urban or suburban area where there is not enough land to grow food, protect food, or purchase food from local farmers then you are living in a very poor location for long term survival. The more hungry people that you are surrounded by the more chance that your food, supplies, and even your life may be taken. Pray and ask for direction from God to lead you safely through the coming crisis. If you are living in a poor location here is the best advise that we can give: 1. Pray for the leading of the Spirit. A righteous mans steps are ordered of the LORD. 2. After much prayer, find and move to a good location. 3. Find and purchase a good location where you can quickly flee to in an emergency and build a small survival community, preferably with other trustworthy friends and loved ones that are like minded with you. 4. Make sure you have a vehicle capable of transporting your family and survival supplies to a good location. You can fill a van or small truck with your survival supplies or you can purchase a pick up truck and pull your supplies and family in a small camper. Think and prepare in advance because

Remote wilderness locations will be much safer than populated areas.

when an emergency comes you will not have time to go out and buy a truck or camper and you will not have time to fill it with your survival supplies. If you plan on fleeing to a pre-planned survival area then make sure you have all of your survival supplies already stocked inside your trucks or trailers. Make preparations with other like minded friends and loved ones so you can carry all of your supplies in many vehicles together. If you are a large group you may want to purchase a tractor trailer truck and carry enough supplies in it for an entire community. If a large group of people all pitch in together they should be able to purchase a large tractor trailer truck and fill it with supplies.

Above Photos: Violent riots broke out in Greece and Iceland when their Financial Systems began to collapse. Will it be any different when the U.S. Financial System collapses in the near future? Below Photos: The best place to live during the coming crisis will be in remote rural locations.
Many Christians falsely believe that by staying in the populated areas that they will be in a good position to share the gospel. Yet nothing can be further from the truth. When people are desperate for food and life giving supplies they will not be interested about hearing the good news about salvation. Their main focus will be on obtaining food and supplies. If you have supplies and they don't they will most likely take your food and supplies by force. It is good to warn people before the calamity strikes. Then after the calamity subsides you can move back and resume your ministry. Many who rejected your previous warnings may later wake up from their spiritual slumber to receive the truth of the gospel.

If possible, buy property in a sparsely populated area just a few hours drive from where you live. As soon as you here of a crisis developing such as a blockage of the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf, or an outbreak of a deadly contagious disease (possible biological warfare), put in for emergency leave (if you can) and pack your survival supplies and drive off with a full tank of gasoline (keep enough gas in your tank at all times and if necessary, bring extra gas with you in gas containers to reach your destination without having to stop for fuel). It is essential that you travel before the majority of Americans realize there is a real life threatening crisis at hand. If you wait too long you may be stuck in traffic or turned back from reaching your destination via Marshal Law. Most Americans will probably empty out grocery store shelves first before they think of driving off into a secure and unpopulated area. You must beat the crowds before they also decide to flee for a safer living location! When there is rampant violence, robberies, murders, and looting everyone will want to flee but it will be too late! 5. If you do not have a small trailer, shack, or house on your remote property then bring a tent that is designed for long term survival with a small camping stove. It will be better to live in a tent (even in cold weather) than to live in a highly populated area. The American Indians survived quite well living in simple tents. It is far better to dwell in remote locations in tents than to live in luxurious houses in the midst of looting and riots. If you build a survival community on State or Federal land you take the risk of being evicted and possibly losing your supplies. It is best to have your own property or to live on the property of a close friend or relative. 6. Locate families and friends that you can live together with in a remote location. The best way to survive in a prolonged national emergency is to band together with likeminded families and friends that you can trust who also have their own supplies. This is the very best way to survive what is coming in the near future. One family alone can be easily overcome by armed attackers but many armed families encamped together provide a much greater defense. Just like a tribe of American Indians hunted, farmed, and protected each other so a whole church can work together and protect each other during a major national crisis. We strongly recommend that you do not try to go it alone in a real emergency. Unite with other likeminded families and form a survival community. It is good to have at least one dog that is kept outside to sound an alarm and always rotate armed guard shifts. This way there is always someone watching and everyone is never sleeping all at once. Communities will further have to protect their livestock and vegetable gardens. Always travel, work, and hunt in groups and always set a watchman over those busy working in the fields who can

alert those at work if danger approaches. It is best to train and equip women and teenagers to safely and skillfully use guns. Women and frail teenagers can more easily learn how to shoot small 22 caliber rifles (good for small game and protection) while stronger men should have shotguns or more powerful rifles. Shotguns are the best close range weapons for hunting both small (birdshot) and large game (buckshot). Whatever guns you choose to buy make sure you have ample ammo to survive indefinitely. It is best to build your survival community where there is a water supply from a natural well, spring, or stream that does not run dry. In times of calamity city water or electric may be lost. Purchase durable pots and pans to cook on a woodstove or outdoor fire. You may have to boil and then filter your water after it cools off. I have more than a years supply of carbon water filters. If you have to drink water from a natural source you should boil and filter it to protect your family from germs and pollutants. Choose to build your survival community in a well cleared area where you can easily keep a watchful eye on each shelter and the surrounding farm areas. If there is allot of trees, high bushes, and thickets around your community you will not be able to spot intruders as easily. If you choose such a location cut down the trees, burn the brush, and store the wood for cooking and heat. Construct at least one observation post where one person can keep an eye on the community from a high vantage point. Get binoculars and night vision goggles for your night time watchmen. If many families share the expenses together you will be able to purchase even expensive survival gear that you would not have been able to afford all alone.

When a major national crisis breaks out it will be far better to live in a simple tent or shack in an unpopulated area then living in a populated urban or suburban area where throngs of people are fighting and killing each other for food and vital life preserving resources! Urban areas will be filled with violence, pollution, death, and disease but rural areas will have far more food and fresh water then populated areas.

CHAPTER 2 SURVIVAL SUPPLIES

HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR SUPPLIES GET A SECOND JOB
Since most Americans are living from pay check to pay check it may be necessary to go out and find a second part time or full time job. This may be a grate sacrifice for a while but it will enable you to make extra money to quickly build up your survival supplies. Some are blessed with the ability to volunteer for overtime on their regular jobs. If you do not have enough funds to make preparations we strongly suggest that you go ahead and take that overtime for a few months so you can quickly go out and purchase what you will need. Some will quickly discount the idea of working overtime or getting a second job because most Americans have lost their work ethic. They are unwilling to make the sacrifices that are necessary to prepare for their own survival. Most early American farmers use to work from sunrise to sunset six days per week. We are not talking about working extra to go out and buy luxury items to play with. We are talking about your families survival! If you don't prepare right now the door of opportunity may forever be closed! There are many hard labor jobs that most Americans will not work. Do whatever work you can to have the money to buy your survival supplies. If you don't get that second job or work some extra hours to build up your supplies your life and the lives of your family members may be in jeopardy.

SELL U.S. STOCKS / REAL ESTATE

If you have stocks or real estate in populated areas inside the United States we strongly suggest that you quickly sell off these stocks and properties immediately because the real estate and stock market is going to come crashing down. If you fail to sell your house now it will probably be worth about 90% less in the near future. A house that is still appraised at about $300,000 will probably fall to under $50,000 in value. When you factor in a collapsed U.S. currency a $300,000 house will really be worth less than $5,000. Those who have their wealth tied up in U.S. real estate will suffer great financial loss. If you have money tied up in stocks or real estate you can quickly sell them and use the cash to quickly purchase survival gear, firearms, and precious metals. The market conditions inside the U.S. indicate that it is now far better to rent real estate than to own it (unless it is agricultural land). Many wealthy landlords are going to go belly up during the tragic financial collapse which is already at our doorsteps.

Those who bought precious metals while the dollar was still strong will be very happy that they did. When the dollar bubble bursts you will wish that you had bought more silver and gold because that opportunity will never come around again!
Once the U.S. dollar collapses there will no longer be an opportunity to buy large amounts of precious metals. American families who sell their homes to buy precious metals will be far better off than those who own homes that are collapsing in value. Those who purchased precious metals while the dollar was strong will have excellent buying opportunities.

You may not wish to sell the house you are living in now but when the value of the U.S. Dollar and the U.S. Housing market comes crashing down, you will be very sorry that you did not sell while you still had the chance. You will be trapped with mortgage payments that far exceed the appraised value of your home. Your hard earned wealth that has been tied up in your home, properties, and stocks will be forever lost. We are telling Gods people to sell off everything that is not useful for long term survival and use that money to buy things that you will need to survive. Use the money you have left over to buy precious metals as a hedge against hyperinflation.

Moving in with other trustworthy Christians or relatives is the best way to survive and thrive during the coming economic collapse. Larger family units can combine their efforts together for the groups survival. Some can work jobs while others cut wood, grow vegetables, and protect the family. It is comforting to know that there are armed friends protecting your family while others are out working, hunting, or gathering food.

MOVE IN WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS AND SAVE $12,000 IN ONE YEAR

Sell your home or move out of your expensive apartment and move in with your close relatives or Christian friends. Two families can save hundreds of dollars per month by sharing one home. This idea may be difficult for some but I can tell you by experience that it can and does work. Some community members may bring in income while others hunt, protect, cut firewood, grow vegetables and do household chores. Everyone can save money by sharing tools, automobiles, appliances, food, and living expenses together.
ONE FAMILIES MONTHLY COST OF LIVING EXPENSES TWO FAMILIES MONTHLY COST OF LIVING EXPENSES

Monthly Mortgage or Rent Average Electric, Heat, Water Share Internet / Phone

$1600 $ 320 $ 80

Each Family Pays $800 Each Family Pays $160 Each Family Pays $ 40
Total Monthly House/Utility Expenses $1000 Two families each save $1000 by sharing a home

Total Monthly Housing/Utility Expenses $2000 One family pays $1000 more for not sharing a home

The prices in the above expense categories reflect the high cost of living on Long Island, in New York State. If you live in a State like Tennessee or Texas the monthly mortgage, rent, and utilities will be much cheaper. If two families who both have children can share a four bedroom house then the girls can all share one bedroom, the boys another (you may need bunk beds), and the Parents the other two bedrooms. This may not be very convenient but it can be done. If the home has only three bedrooms then use a den or living room area to make a fourth bedroom. Children can always get changed in a

bathroom or other bedroom. Remember that we are not focusing on our convenience and comfort. We are focusing on our families SURVIVAL! If you fail to act now your life and the lives of your family may be in great peril in the very near future! In the above scenario each family would cut their housing and utility bills to about half of what they would normally pay if they continued living alone. Their food consumption will stay about the same but their housing and utility costs have been cut in half. Sharing a home with a second family also has many economic advantages. You can also save allot of money by purchasing food from local farmers in bulk rather than purchasing them in small quantities. Every October I can buy 50 pound bags of potatoes for just $10 - $12 each, a few crates of butternut squash from a local farmer for just 35 cents per pound, and 20 pound bags of onions for about $15 each. If you share your food expenses you can also save on your monthly grocery bills. It is best to alternate cooking and cleaning responsibilities so that everyone does their part in surviving and thriving together. The expression, many hands make light work is truly valid.

Above Photo: A long gasoline rationing line during the 1973 Arab oil embargo. In 1973 America imported only about 30% of its oil from foreign nations. Now America imports about 70% of it oil. If America loses about 70% of its oil the cost of food and supplies will quickly skyrocket out of control. There will not be enough gas to bring enough food to over 300 million Americans. The wise will prepare and stock up on food supplies now!

Above Photo: YOU CAN EASILY JAR FOOD FROM YOUR OWN VEGETABLE GARDEN. Jarring will preserve most foods for two or more years. You can buy reusable canning jars from your local Wal-Mart. Since canning jar lids will rust out it is best to buy many extra canning jar lids in advance so you can continue preserving your own foods at home without depending on resupplies from outside sources. Jarring your own food will be well worth the effort when you cant go out and buy foods at your local grocery stores.

STOCK UP ON YOUR FAMILIES FOOD SUPPLIES NOW!

IN A PROLONGED EMERGENCY YOU WILL NEED A VERY LARGE SUPPLY OF NON PERISHABLE FOODS. Many falsely believe that if they store up enough precious metals, or hundreds of thousands of paper dollars, then they will be able to purchase enough food and supplies in any coming crisis. But what good is paper money or precious metals during a prolonged famine? Can anyone chew on paper dollars for nourishment? When there is little or no food available FOOD WILL BECOME MORE VALUABLE THAN SILVER, GOLD, OR ANY PAPER CURRENCY.

If you really want to survive and thrive during the coming collapse of the U.S. Financial system you may have to take some drastic measures that you would not have normally taken. There are ways to save money to prepare for the catastrophic days ahead but you must have the will and the desire to ensure that you are ready. If you always keep in mind that you are making these sacrifices for your families future survival it will help you to make these sacrifices with a joyful and thankful spirit. Are you willing to take the sacrificial steps necessary to make sure you and your family are prepared? If not, then you will wish that you had prepared while there was still time.

DRY RICE AND BEANS MAKE AN EXCELLENT LONG TERM STORAGE SURVIVAL FOOD
Wise survivalists will be prepared for long duration survival scenarios without depending upon outside supplies. Buy sewing supplies with ample thread, patches, buttons, and cloth to repair damaged clothing. Buy extra parts for tools, bikes, autos, and tractors, or buy new (exact same make) and use the old for parts. Many thrifty old timers buy a new truck, tractor, bike, etc. and keep the old one stored in a garage, tent, or barn for parts. You can also learn how to make and repair everything yourself, including making clothes, blankets, and tents out of animal skins and furs. Also buy tools and equipment that can fix other tools and equipment so that you don't have to buy new again.

Do not waste your money on expensive MRES. You can purchase a mountain of dry grains, rice, and beans that will last for decades for a fraction of the price. Buy a hand powered grain mill to make your own flower for bread. When planning for Americas imminent financial collapse you must think about long term rather than short term survival. Make sure you buy large quantities of only NON-HYBRID SEEDS that have not been genetically altered so that you can harvest your own seeds every year without depending on outside sources.

SURVIVAL TIPS
WATER
It is very probable that many parts of the country will lose their public sources of pure drinking water. Therefore it is imperative that your survival plan includes storing and finding enough pure drinking water. Catch drinking water by placing large tarps over structures or tie tarps down using gravity to bring the rainwater into a large water trough or clean garbage can. You can further boil water from a local pond, lake, river, or stream and then run it through a WATER FILTER. We suggest that you utilize both rain water and water from a local source such as a pond, river, or stream. If you feel that the amount of water will not be enough for your community then dig a well (before a crisis) and install an old fashioned HAND PUMP to bring the water out of the ground. DO NOT TRUST YOUR CITY WATER during a national crisis because the water pressure may shut off. You will need plenty of large buckets to carry your water for bathing, irrigating, laundry, and to bring water to your livestock. Always boil drinking water from the above sources, then let it cool off. After the water has cooled run it through a filter before drinking. When a real emergency strikes, fill up all of your buckets, troughs, and containers with city water right away.

HEAT
Most Americans have to deal with very cold winters and most of us have been spoiled by our oil burners which do all the work for us. If there is an oil crisis most Americans will no longer be able to afford the cost of oil heat. This is why ever single American should have a back up heating plan besides oil or natural gas. If you do not live in a location where there is plenty of natural wood then we strongly suggest that you plan on moving out of that location when a national emergency strikes. Your going to need at least one large WOOD STOVE for a house or a small CAMPING STOVE if you are living in a very small tent or shelter. You can purchase a nice camping stove for about $100 (used) and about $150 (new). Most large wood stoves will cost between $500 - $1,000 but there is a way to turn a 55 gallon steel drum into a large wood stove for about $200. We bought two 55 gallon steel drums on sale for just $79 each at NORTHERN TOOLS. You can usually get a heavy duty steel 55 gallon drum for under $100 and then you will have to purchase a kit (we recommend you purchase the kit at Northern Tools) for about $80, a grate for $30, and a hot plate conversion kit that allows you to cook on the barrel for just $30 more. Therefore you can build your own heavy duty wood stove for about $230 but you will need to know someone with the proper tools and experience to properly assemble it. If money is not a problem

and you don't feel like bothering to assemble a circular 55 gallon drum stove then you can pay more than double or triple this price for a wood burning stove. Your 55 gallon drum stove may not look as nice as a regular stove but it will serve to keep your family warm. In this book we are not focusing on comfortable or beautiful homes. We are focusing on your families survival rather than your families enjoyments.
Chain saws will cut through large logs like butter but even the best hand saws will take allot longer to cut wood. We recommend that you purchase both.

Buy chain saws and good logging hand saws so that you can still cut wood even if your gasoline supply runs out. It is far better to buy more expensive logging hand saws like the one above [cross cut saw - about $110] than to use cheap hand saws that will cut much slower and will exhaust you much faster.

TOOLS
We suggest that you have enough shovels, pick axes, three prong cultivators, wheelbarrows, axes, sledge hammers with wedges, saws, hammers, wrenches, screw drivers, nails, screws, masking tape, and everything else that you think will come in handy to do all of your work by hand. Purchase every tool you think you will need to survive indefinitely without having to go out and purchase more tools later. If you band together with other like minded families into a survival community then you can save money by sharing all your tools together. Each family does not have to have a complete set of tools because you can all use each others tools. If you have money purchase both electrical or gas powered tools and equipment along with hand powered tools and equipment. A chain saw can cut through wood like butter but a hand powered saw will take you more than ten times longer. Hand powered tools also are very exhausting to use while electrical and gas powered tools and equipment makes work much easier. It is good to have a farm tractor or a small rototiller but if you have no gas what good are they? If you have no gasoline you will need to depend upon hand held tools or animals to do all of your work. If you can purchase a few horses and large metal tillers for the horses to pull you will be able to farm a much larger area then doing it all by hand. If you have no horse power you will need to do all of your farming and towing by man power.

Horses are valuable farm animals for tilling soil, pulling heavy loads, and for transportation. Tilling soil and pulling heavy loads by hand power is very exhausting and time consuming. Survival communities will want to employ at least a few strong horses.

TRANSPORTATION

Above: Horses are strong enough to carry heavy loads and people long distances without expensive gasoline engines. Horses simply need grass, a little grain, water, and hay during the winter. The surge in unemployment, hyperinflation, and skyrocketing gasoline prices will force millions of Americans to flee highly populated areas to live off of the land again just like our great grandparents did just one hundred years ago. Bicycles, scooters, and great mileage motor cycles will replace automobiles and horse drawn wagons and carts will again become common in non urban environments. Those who prepare now while the dollar is strong will have a great advantage over those falling victim to Americas fiscal irresponsibility's.

Hyperinflation will cause gasoline prices to rise so high that most Americans will no longer be able to afford buying large quantities of it. Scooters, bikes, and horses will probably become the main means of transportation for most Americans. Bottom Left: BICYCLE CARTS can be attached to bicycles to carry both children and supplies.

What will you do to transport yourself and your supplies when only the wealthy can afford gasoline? It is best to purchase scooters, bikes, wagons, and the materials necessary to carry yourself and your goods now before the dollar collapses. It is wise to buy all of the tools you will need to build and repair everything without having to buy replacements later. Items that are cheap now will become far to expensive in the future. Buy bicycle carts for your bicycles and strong heavy duty back pack to carry goods while riding bicycles or scooters. I purchased surplus military back packs, sea bags, gloves, hardy winter clothes, ponchos, and former East German military hats that cover most of the head and ears for ridiculously low prices at SPORTSMANS GUIDE. Survivalists should purchase these items now before they become ridiculously expensive later! If you don't use them you can always use them for barter later.

Many oil experts admit that the worlds oil supplies have already reached peak potential output. A major war in the Persian Gulf could potentially cause a catastrophic world oil crisis. What will Americans do when gasoline becomes unavailable for most of the general public? They will have no choice but to revert back to some of the earlier forms of transportation used just one hundred years ago. Depending on where you live you might want to buy a few horses, horse drawn wagons, tillers, horse packs, horse shoes, saddles, and other equipment for horses. If you buy horses you will need a barn to store hay and to shelter your horses during the winter. If you do not have the land, nor the facilities for horses then you are going to have to do everything by man power or by gas powered tillers. When the U.S. economy completely collapses those who have accumulated stockpiles of non perishable food items, essential supplies, guns, and precious metals will have a wonderful buying opportunity. During a national oil and food crisis many who are rich in land and real estate will be willing to sell you their properties and possessions at greatly reduced prices. Nonperishable foods, guns, and ammo will be worth their weight in gold during a life threatening crisis. Just as the ancient Egyptians were willing to sell their lands and possessions to Joseph during a severe famine so starving people will practically give away all of their possession just to eat another day. Hyperinflation will cause the prices of food, guns, ammo, and precious metals to skyrocket in value. Those who possess large quantities of these commodities will have an excellent buying opportunity in the near future. Wealthy Americans who become desperate will be willing to sell you their land for food and other stored commodities. Survival communities may elect to purchase more land when the real estate market completely collapses. Those who prepare now will be in a great position to benefit from the coming collapse of the U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar. Americans would be wise to purchase bicycles, bicycle pulled carts, back packs, scooters, horse drawn carts, tools, and equipment that can be used to build and repair the above items. Hyperinflation will prevent most Americans from buying simple tools and equipment. Therefore they will be forced to repair what they already have. Purchase tools, equipment (such as a welder), and sewing supplies while the dollar is still strong so that you will have what you need to survive and thrive when the economy completely collapses. Hyper inflated prices will prevent the majority of Americans from purchasing items that were once very cheap!

If you and your family fail to purchase food, tools and supplies while the dollar is relatively strong it will be much harder to buy these items later. We strongly urge everyone to purchase as much gold or silver as possible while the dollar has strength. Once the dollar falls hard you will forever lose the opportunity that you now have. We suggest that Americans sell everything that they do not need and cash it in for the real precious metal money. If you can buy 20 or more ounces of gold and 500 or more ounces of silver you should be in very good shape in the coming years. If you cannot buy this kind of gold or silver then we suggest that you buy as much silver as you possibly can, even if it is just a few hundred ounces. We strongly believe that silver is going to rise in value to well over $150 per ounce. Buy now while silver is under $20 per ounce. The longer you wait to buy precious metals the more likely you will have to pay more to obtain them in the future. If you and your family are living from pay check to pay check and you have no money to buy extra food, supplies, silver, or gold then go out and get a second job immediately. With high unemployment you may have to work a laborious job that few people would be willing to work. Work that second job for a full year (if we have that long before the collapse) and take all the money of the second job (even if its a part time job) and buy your supplies and precious metals as fast as you can. Your families future will depend on it! Taking a part time job for even about $100 per week adds up to $400 per month, $2,400 in six months, and $4,800 in twelve months. You and your family can purchase allot of survival supplies for a few thousand dollars. Discipline yourself only to spend the money from the second job on survival supplies and silver until you are ready for the financial collapse. When the dollar and the U.S. Financial System does collapse most people will wish that they had done more to prepare while the dollar was still strong! If you live in a highly populated area we suggest that you try to sell your home if you own it. If you are able to exchange large sums of money for real precious metal money then you will be blessed with a tremendous buying opportunity when the dollar collapses. At this time I feel comfortable renting property where I am living in the United States but (if the Lord wills) when the time comes I am planning on buying farm land in the English speaking Central American nation of Belize where you can grow food all year round. There will be a Spirit Led Exodus of Christians from North America in the future. See our free book, The Destruction of America - And the Exodus of Christians and Jews. In the coming years Spirit led Christians will depart out of the United States of America. If you are able to purchase allot of precious metals now many nations will probably accept your visa application later but if you don't have a large sum of real money most nations will not let you in. If you fail to prepare now you will probably find yourself trapped in a very different America than the one you are use too. Just like most people living in third world nations are unable to afford a plane ticket and a visa to travel into another country, so most Americans will be financially trapped in an impoverished America. You must take drastic measures right now before the American financial system completely collapses and we become like a third world nation!

CHAPTER 3 VEGETABLE GARDENS AND LIVESTOCK

If possible set up your tents, shelters, or homes in elevated locations where you can keep an eye on your community, including your supplies, tools, livestock, and vegetable gardens. Make sure you bring plenty of dry seeds (not hybrids because hybrid vegetables are not good for reseeding themselves) and gardening tools with you to your community. It is nice to have electric tools and tools powered by gas but do not depend upon these kind of tools alone. Have a back up set of hand tools for everything because you may not have electric or gasoline during a prolonged emergency. Make sure you do not bring seeds with the word hybrid on the package. You cannot take the seeds from hybrid vegetables and plant them the next year because they will not grow. If they do grow these seeds will not produce successful fruit during the next growing season. Some winter squash seeds from the supermarket are good but you are taking a big chance that they may be hybrids. It is best to buy your own non-hybrid, non genetically altered seeds and grow and reseed these vegetables every year so that you will never have to buy seeds ever again. If you use a sharp pair of clippers to harvest your butternuts, pumpkins, and other winter squash before the first frost and then leave these squash to sit outside in the sun for about ten days then they can last you through most, if not all winter long. Keep your winter squash stored in a cool and dry place at temperatures between 40-60 Fahrenheit. Butternut squash are the best for long term storage. It has been my experience that acorn and other types of winter squash do not last as long as butternut squash. That is why we plant mostly butternut squash for our long term food storage supply. If you want to keep your immune system strong it is best to find or make a dry - unheated area in your basement or attic where the temperature does not rise above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Store winter squash, garlic, and onions for long term food storage until the spring. Carrots, potatoes, beets, rutabagas, ginger, and apples store better in cool and damp root cellars. Make sure you build a separate root cellar for apples because apples emit a gas that can ruin other stored vegetables.

STORING WINTER SQUASH

It is now February 2010 and I still have butternut and pumpkin stored in a cool dry and unheated attic and storage room inside my house and both are not spoiling yet. I tried acorn and a few other types of winter squash but most of them did not last as long as the butternuts and the pumpkins. If you harvest your winter squash and leave them sit in the sun for about ten days before the first frost they should last a long time. Butternut will usually last till the next growing season but most of your pumpkins should last through February or March. Keep an eye on your pumpkins and cook those that are beginning to show small signs of spoiling first. If a winter squash has a small dent or soft spot developing then separate this squash from the other stored squash immediately and cook it within a week or two. We usually bake the pumpkins for about an hour, scoop out the cooked fruit, and then mix it with flower to make delicious and nutritious pumpkin bread. We find this much faster and easier to bake then pumpkin pie.

I plant allot of Butternut Squash because Butternuts can be successfully stored for up to a year if kept in a cool dry place. Butternut Squash remains tasteful and nutritious even until the next growing season. I have found that pumpkins also store very well but not as long as butternut squash. You can eat your acorn and pumpkin squash first but leave your butternuts for last because no squash will store as long and as well as butternut. If stored properly butternut squash can last from 612 months.

MAKE YOUR OWN SEEDLING GREENHOUSE I use a large plastic laundry basket with no holes to start my cool sensitive vegetable seedlings indoors. I drill four or five 1/8th inch holes on the bottoms of dozens of used plastic yogurt containers (which I can use every year) and plant the seeds at the appropriate depth in potting soil. Then I wrap aluminum foil on the walls and top cover of the large plastic laundry basket. I cut a hole in the top and hang a 100 watt light bulb down over my planted seeds. The artificial light will both heat up the seeds to germinate and will provide energy for photosynthesis.
The aluminum foil will reflect the artificial light so that the entire seedling box will receive ample light. Keeping the cover on your seedling container will help to keep the seeds warm and will prevent moisture from escaping. Water the germinating seeds and seedlings every three or four days until they are ready for outside planting. Remove the new plants from their containers by turning the plastic containers upside down and gently squeezing them so that the entire plant will fall out into your other hand with their roots intact.

PLANTING EARLY IN GREENHOUSES Start vegetables such as squash (summer and winter), tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant in a heated greenhouse or by an indoor window (where the temperature remains above 70 degrees Fahrenheit) in early April and plant them outside in early June (New York State). Squash seeds need to be kept in a warm environment to germinate. You should not depend upon sunlight alone to germinate your seeds indoors. For the best results keep the temperature of your indoor seedlings above 70 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. If your squash, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants do not have an early start they will not bear enough fruit to be worth your while. If you find yourself unable to start these types of vegetables indoors (in the Northern States) then don't bother planting them. The best long term storage vegetables are potatoes, onions, and butternut squash.

Cold weather vegetables such as rutabagas, carrots, and beets can be harvested in late November or early December so they can supply you with additional nutrition until March or April (Keep an eye on your root cellar and use vegetables that start going bad first). Then in late March or early April you can plant vegetables that like cold weather again: Cabbage, Collards, Turnips, Carrots, Beets, Radishes, and Broccoli. Carrots can be kept fresh all winter long by leaving them in the ground and covering them with a large pile of hay or leaves in early December. When you desire to pull fresh carrots just uncover the carrots, pull them up, and then recover the carrot patch area until all the carrots are pulled. If you need fast nutrition in the early Spring plant a few rows of radishes. Since radishes can handle some frosts you may start planting them in late March. You can eat both the Radish Greens and the bulbs within 3 - 6 weeks after planting. If you plant different types of vegetables at different times you can supply the nutritional needs of your survival community all year long without having to depend on Grocery Stores. I try to grow enough butternut squash to last until the next growing season and I start planting the following vegetables in early April: Rutabagas (you can eat the Rutabaga leaves), Carrots, Radishes (you can eat the Radish leaves), and Broccoli (you can eat Broccoli leaves, stems, and stalks). I plant the following other types of vegetables
Below: Many types of vegetables like cold weather such as turnips (below left), carrots, radishes (below right), broccoli, cabbage, and beets. Plant these types of vegetables outdoors in April (New York State) to ensure you have fresh produce during the summer. You can plant fast growing vegetables close to slower growing vegetables such as carrots and radishes. The radishes will be ready for harvest in about 3-6 weeks but the carrots will need at least three months to be ready for harvest. The carrots will not need the space that the radishes will take up during their first six weeks of growth. In this manner you can plant your whole garden full of radishes in the very early spring to ensure an early source of fresh produce. Learning how to maximize space in vegetable gardens will allow you to grow more food per square foot.

indoors during the first week of April: Peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, pumpkin, butternut and zucchini squash and plant them outdoors in early June. I live in New York State but if you live in a southern State then you will have a longer growing season. Find out the best times to plant based upon your local geographical region. Here is the way that I am now planting my vegetable garden. Since there are many deer in my area I fence in the garden completely. If you have a dog that you keep outside you will not need to fence in the garden because deer stay away from dogs but if your dog likes digging and running through your garden you might want to chain him up. I plant the types of vegetables that the deer like inside the fenced in area and I plant the types of vegetables that the deer don't seem to bother on the outside of the fence. I grew butternut and pumpkins outside of the fence successfully without any problem from the deer. One time I noticed that a deer had taken a bite out of one of my pumpkin leaves but apparently the deer did not like its taste because the deer did not keep eating it. I did notice that the deer ate up some broccoli I had planted outside of the fenced in area because they ate the leaves right down to the stalks in one or two nights. When deer like a certain type of vegetable they will keep eating it until they ruin your crop. When we started our garden the first year we chose the best location that gets the most sun. Then in the early Spring we manually turned over the soil with shovels because a rototiller cannot handle large rocks and roots. Once you have cleared the land of large rocks and roots then you can use a rototiller or a horse drawn tiller to plow up the land every year thereafter. Make sure you use shovels to completely turn each chunk of dirt completely upside down so that all of the grass and weeds are completely 10-12 inches underground. After turning the soil over we piled composted organic materials with horse and composted chicken manure directly on top of the turned over soil. Use an Iron rake to spread out the organic materials evenly. Then we rototilled the entire area so that the compost and the manure was evenly dispersed and the soil became soft. Then we placed a tall fence all around the garden from fence materials that people had thrown out. We improvised by using posts from a very large tent that someone threw out and then we later attached a roll of chain link fence that was also being thrown out. There were a few areas that we needed to improvise to complete the fence but it looks quite good for not costing us anything. When I planted my first vegetable garden I made allot of mistakes because I had planted all of my butternut and pumpkin inside of my fenced in garden. Since I never grew winter squash before I did not know that these types of squash require allot of space. They proceeded to cover my entire garden in all directions. Therefore I had to direct the vines of squash by hand to go outside of my garden. The butternuts grew up to twenty feet out of my garden and the pumpkins grew more than thirty. Since the deer did not bother the winter squash and since I did not need to till all of that space I decided to plant all of my winter squash in small mounds outside of my fenced in garden. I only needed to till up small 2x2 ft or 3x3 ft areas and build small mounds mixed with composted manure. When the squash developed long vines I directed the vines to grow in the directions I wanted them too. Therefore winter squash is a great vegetable to grow in areas where you cut down allot of trees but the soil is very rooty. You don't need to till up all those heavy roots. It is too much work to manually till up entire acres of formerly wooded areas. All you have to do is dig up the areas that are furthest from the tree stumps. You don't need to dig down very far because you can dump a cart or wheelbarrow full of your composted mix of organic materials and then mix it with the natural soil you dug up. Your mound of compost and natural soil should be at least one foot high. You can plant a field of winter squash by making small 2x2 (butternuts) or 3x3 (pumpkins) foot mounds. You can plant four butternut squash on each mound about 18 inches apart and pumpkin plants on each mound about 30 inches apart. It is best to build the mounds with large logs, rocks, or concrete blocks around each mound to keep the soil from eroding away. I have found that you can direct each vine to go in the direction that you want so that the whole field or garden gets equally covered by the winter squash vines. Irrigation is also made easier because you only have to water the cultivated mounds where the squash have deep roots. When there is no rain for a period of three or four days then you should poor water onto the mounds with buckets or find some other means of irrigation because squash need lots of water to produce a good crop. We also suggest that you place a thick layer of straw, grass clippings, mulch, or old newspapers over the entire mound to keep weeds away from the plants when they are young and to keep the soil moist. Make sure you place the layer of mulch, straw, or newspapers all around the stems of each plant but do not cover the leaves or stems of each plant.

If you have enough compost and soil to build mounds you may not bother digging up the soil with heavy roots at all. If you decide not to bother digging in a rocky or rooty area then make sure you have enough nutrient rich soil to add another 24 inches of soil to the ground surface of each mound. We suggest that you use half natural soil and half composted materials when you build winter squash mounds. The tops of the mounds should be flat (not peaked) to minimize erosion. You may place logs or rocks around the mounds to keep the mounds in place without substantial erosion. If you dig up small areas of natural soil in formerly wooded areas it is best to have a pick axe, a regular axe, and a pin bar to cut through the larger roots. Make sure all manure and organic materials that you mix with the soil is properly composted. If not the soil will be too acidic and will burn your squash. It is always best to add lime to help reduce acidity, especially when you use manure. If you have never planted a vegetable garden or worked in agriculture before it is best to try to find some people experienced in growing vegetables or raising livestock. Most people, including myself, have had to learn the hard way. It is hard to tell anyone how to plant and grow things successfully in writing. It is hands on experience that is the best teacher. Organic gardening might sound good but some vegetables are just to hard to grow without using pesticides. I gave up planting collard greens, broccoli, and turnips without using pesticides. I recommend dusting the types of vegetables that small worms like eating with pesticide every few weeks. In my area small worms devour all of the leaves off of all my Broccoli, Cabbage, and all kinds of leafy vegetables. If I don't use pesticides then I lose the whole crop. The pests seem to leave my carrots and squash alone. If you do not have pesticides I recommend that you do not plant broccoli, cabbage, collards, or turnip greens. We suggest that all survival communities purchase enough lime, fertilizer, pesticides, and tools to last them at least three growing seasons. VEGETABLE GARDEN SUPPLIES 1. Lime - Lime is a good fertilizer that stabilizes the acidity of the soil. I always use lime in my vegetable garden every year. 2. Fertilizer - You can successfully grow vegetables without fertilizer as long as you use composted organic materials with chicken, cow, goat, or horse manure. Never use dog or human manure because it is not good for gardening. Most successful farmers use both organic and commercial fertilizers. Be careful to observe the directions or you might over fertilize your garden and burn your crops. 3. Pesticides - Stock up on a basic and affordable type of pesticide that can be used against all basic pest problems. You can dispense pesticides by hand or by a tractor. 4. Equipment - Wheelbarrow, Rototiller, tractor tiller, hand tools: Use wheelbarrows or horse drawn carts to transport organic materials and manure to place on compost piles. It is best to add lime to the compost heap and turn the compost pile over at least once or twice. I pile my compost heaps up either inside my garden in December or in a location very close to my garden in the warmer weather. Then in late March I shovel out and Iron rake the composted materials evenly over the garden. Then we run a rototiller over the entire area. If you don't have a rototiller you will need to till the soil by a horse tiller or by digging up the soil with a shovel, hoe, or pick axe. Using horses to plow up the land is obviously much easier and faster than using hand tools.
Organic farming is extremely difficult because some pests will completely ruin your crops. I had to learn the hard way that it is necessary to use pesticides on certain vegetables.

Above and below photos: Winter squash vines have are very invasive. Their large leaves will block sunlight from reaching other vegetable plants because they will grow up and over everything around them. Therefore it is best to grow winter squash in locations where the vines will have room to grow without chocking out your other vegetables. There is no need to till the whole plot of land where winter squash are planted. All you need to do is cultivate heavily composted 2x2 ft mounds for butternut (3x3 ft for pumpkin) and plant four plants about 1 and 1/2 ft apart from each other (pumpkin about 2 and 1/2 ft apart). Since winter squash does not need tilled soil for its vines to grow it is an ideal vegetable to plant in areas where there are allot of rocks and roots. When the squash vines are mature they will latch onto and spread all over dead tree branches, stumps, weeds, live plants, and rocky areas. Once winter squash become mature they will even climb up and over fences and tall obstacles so there is no need to worry about pulling up small weeds. I only pull up the very tall types of weeds or vines that would give the squash some serious competition. Never harvest butternut or pumpkin early, if you do so they will spoil fast and lose their flavor. Allow both butternut and pumpkin to remain on vines until they turn color (butternut should be tan and pumpkin dark orange) but do not leave them outside during the first frost. Winter squash that is damaged by frost will not last very long but butternut will last until the following summer and pumpkin will last until March if they are stored inside in a cool dry place before the outside temperatures reach freezing temperatures. Survivalists may wish to raise honey bees to help pollinate fruits and vegetables and to provide a healthy alternative to sugar. Im told that just two honey bee hives will provide about 160 pounds of honey per year. I plan on starting two bee hives this year.

Above Left: Pumpkin vines will travel far distances and their large leaves will block out the sunlight from other vegetables. Therefore it is best to plant pumpkins and winter squash away from most other vegetables. Allow Pumpkins to stay on the vine long enough completely change color. Always cut pumpkin and winter squash with clippers (always cut off between 1-2 of the stems along with the pumpkin or squash) and allow to cure in the sunlight for at least ten days before bringing into inside storage. If you do not follow these instructions your pumpkins and winter squash will not last very long during winter storage.

NO NEED TO BUY SUGAR OR HONEY

A friendly neighbor told me that his two hives of Honey Bees produce about 160 pounds of honey per year and that these bees substantially increased the amount of vegetables he harvests from his garden. The honey bees pollinate all of his vegetables much better then depending on wild bees. A few hundred dollar investment can provide you and your family with more honey than you will ever need! Raising honeybees requires allot of knowledge and weekly maintenance so make sure you learn more about honeybees before you begin raising them.

Rutabagas are large turnips that will grow well into the first few frosts of November or early December and are excellent to store in a root cellar for your winter food supply. If stored properly Rutabagas can last in a root cellar for 4-6 months.

In the late fall and winter I always place a few compost piles of organic materials over my vegetable garden. In the fall I take bagged leaves from my neighbors yards and the leaves from my own yard for my compost piles (dry leaves are also good for chicken nests). I mix composted leaves, table scraps (I give all organic materials to my chickens - whatever is left is composted), and manure over the winter to break down into good composted soil. When organic material is composting well you will see hot steam ascending from the compost piles. Turn the piles over once or twice and add lime. Then in the last week of March in New York I spread the piles of compost evenly with a shovel and an iron rake. Then I rototill the soil completely so that the soil is even and smooth. Here is how we plant our vegetable garden in the first week of April: During week one we plant a row of carrots (the rows are only 12-14 inches apart), a row of beets, and a row of turnips (prefer the large rutabagas) with a row of radishes between each row of carrots, beets, and turnips (the radishes are 6 inches from other vegetables). Then during week two we plant another row of all four of the above. Then we repeat the same process during the third and fourth weeks. We do not plant all of the rows of vegetables all at once so that we can have a continual supply of fresh vegetables to eat. If you plant everything all at once you will not have a continual supply of fresh vegetables. The above method works the best because the radishes will mature within about 3-6 weeks. The carrots, beets, and turnips will not need the room that the radishes take up during those first three to six weeks. This way I can start harvesting my first radishes in mid April all the way into the Summer months (radishes get much more spicy when grown during the summer months). You can also plant broccoli, collards, and cabbage in the early Spring with radishes in between the rows because all of these vegetables thrive in cool weather. When the carrots, beets, turnips, broccoli, and cabbage are harvested then we plant another crop in the mid to late summer. I plant winter and summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants outside during the first week of June. Never plant vegetables that dislike cold weather in the early Spring because they will either die or their fruit bearing potential will be ruined.
Bottom Left: Collard Greens thrive in early Spring and late fall. Bottom Right: Plant potatoes about one foot underground in early May (New York State). Many people grow potatoes in old tires or buckets so that they don't have to dig them up when they are ready for harvest.

IF YOU PLANT POTATOES IN BUCKETS: Make sure you drill many holes in the bottom of each bucket and place 2-3 inches of small rocks on the bottoms of the buckets for proper drainage.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF RADISHES Radishes have ten times more vitamin C than pears and apples. They are also a very good source of digestion enhancing enzymes. However, the radish leaves themselves have even more nutrition than their roots. Radish leaves are very rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C (2 and a half times more than tangerines), Iron, and minerals. Since radishes are very fast growing and you can eat the entire plants (roots, stems, and leaves) it makes an excellent survival food, especially in cool weather climates. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CARROTS Carrots are rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin A, minerals, and are an excellent antioxidant. Carrots help build the immune system and promote healthy cell growth. Since carrots yield a large amount of food per square ft, thrive in cool weather, and are highly nutritious, they make an excellent survival food. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF TURNIPS Just one serving of turnip greens gives you 184 milligrams of calcium, 167 milligrams of potassium, 6,300 units of vitamin A, and significant amounts of phosphorus, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin C. The roots are not as nutritious as the leaves but they are about the same vitamin content as potatoes but are richer in vitamin C. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF BEETS Both the beet root and the beet greens are edible and highly nutritious. Beets are loaded with vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and also contain folic acid, iodine, manganese, and potassium. Beet greens are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, sodium, and iron. Eat both the greens and the roots to cleanse your body, build your immune system, and strengthen your blood. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF BROCCOLI Broccoli is considered a nutritional powerhouse food because it is packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Broccoli is loaded with vitamins A and C as well as a variety of healthy minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. Broccoli leaves are also edible and are loaded with vitamins A, C and a healthy array of minerals. I could not find any information about the nutritional value of broccoli stems but I strongly suspect that they are also very nutritious and worth eating. Since you can eat virtually all of this plant it makes a very good survival food to consider growing in your garden. My only problem with growing broccoli is the pests that feed on its leaves and flowers. If you are not going to use pesticides on broccoli then don't bother planting it, at least not in New York. There is a striped type of worm that ate all of the leaves of my broccoli plants so that the crop produced no fruit at all in the late summer and fall. The same thing happened to my cabbage. Next year Im going to use pesticides.

The entire Broccoli plant is edible and packed with nutritional value. Survivalists can eat broccoli flowers (harvest the green flowers before they bloom into yellow flowers), the broccoli stems, the stalks, and the leaves. We cut off the hard external surface of the broccoli stems and stalks to eat the soft and tasty interiors. Use the inside of the stems and stalks in salads or in soups. The leaves can be used in soups or they can be cooked with turnip, beet, collard, or radish greens. Since you can eat so much of the nutritionally rich broccoli plants it is certainly worth planting in your survival garden.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Butternut squash is rich in vitamins A and C. Just one cup serving provides 160 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A and 52 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. It is especially high in manganese, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Just one cup serving supplies 21 percent of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium. Moreover, Butternut squash retains most of its nutritional content after cooking and after long periods of storage. Butternut squash is the very best non grain (uncanned) long term storage survival food.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF PUMPKINS The following nutrients are present in just one cup of cooked, boiled and drained pumpkin: Calcium - 37 mg Carbohydrate - 12 gm Dietary Fiber - 3 gm Folate - 21 mcg Iron - 1.4 mg Magnesium - 22 mg Niacin - 1 mg Potassium - 564 mg Protein - 2 grams Selenium - 0.50 mg Vitamin A - 2650 IU Vitamin C - 12 mg WARNING! Always harvest squash by cutting one or two inches of the stem with Vitamin E - 3 mg a sharpe clipper. If you twist the stems you will probably damage the vines. Cut Zinc - 1 mg off at least an inch of the stem from the vine so that an inch of the stem remains Calories - 49 on each pumpkin. If the stems are missing from the pumpkins they will spoil fast.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING PUMPKIN Pumpkin is very rich in carotenoids, which is known for keeping the immune system of an individual strong and healthy. Beta-carotene, found in pumpkin, is a powerful antioxidant as well as an anti-inflammatory agent. It helps prevent build up of cholesterol on the arterial walls, thus reducing the chances of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. Pumpkin is rich in alpha-carotene which is believed to slow the aging process and to prevent cataract formation. Pumpkins have been known to reduce the risk of macular degeneration, a serious eye problem than usually results in blindness. The high amount of fiber, present in a pumpkin, is good for the bowel health of an individual. Being loaded with potassium, pumpkin is associated with lowering the risk of hypertension. The presence of zinc in pumpkins boosts the immune system and improves bone density.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF POTATOES

Potatoes are one of the easiest foods to grow and store through the winter. Save a few of your potatoes and plant them about 10 inches under the soil in the first week of May. They will have buds sticking out from all directions. You can increase your potato yields by cutting potatoes into parts. Make sure you divide potatoes into parts with at least two buds per part. Place 10 underground in used tires, or inside tall buckets with good drainage (holes on the bottoms with 2-3 inches of small rocks). Potatoes are filled with energy yielding carbohydrates but they also have the following vitamins and nutrients when eaten with the skins: an average (~5.3 oz) potato with the skin contains: 45% of the daily value for vitamin C, 620 mg potassium, comparable to bananas, spinach and broccoli, trace amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron and zinc, all for only 110 calories and no fat. And potatoes with the skin on are an excellent source of fiber. In fact, with 2 grams of fiber per serving, a potato equals or exceeds that of many "whole" grain products-whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta and many cereals.

Potatoes are easy to grow and produce an abundant harvest.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CORN Corn is best eaten freshly picked but it can easily be sun dried and stored throughout the year. You can boil dried corn until it softens or you can grind the hard dry corn to make mash or corn bread. I buy 50 pound bags of dry corn for just over $9 per bag. Corn has Vitamin B (Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Riboflavin, Folate). It has traces of Vitamin A and Vitamin E. Corn is rich in phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and selenium. It also has small amounts of potassium. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF ZUCCHINI SQUASH Zucchini squash with the skin contains folate (24 mcg/100 g), potassium (280 mg/100 g), vitamin A (384 IU [115 mcg]/100 g), and vitamin C. Dark green zucchini also have some beta carotene and all types provide small quantities of minerals. STORING FOOD IN A ROOT CELLAR If you can find a dry place in your basement where the temperature will stay between 33-55 degrees Fahrenheit all winter long then you have an excellent root cellar. Root cellars were very common in the past and they will become common again in the future. You can build a root cellar by digging a 7 or 8 foot deep hole and then installing a sealed concrete block floor, concrete block walls, and a water and air tight roof. Underground rainproof storage shelters will stay cold but will not freeze. I prefer making a very easy but much smaller root cellar by using an old refrigerator or garbage can that someone is throwing out. Remove refrigerator motors and all of the inside doors and shelves. Dig a hole the same dimensions of the refrigerator and then place the refrigerator in the hole with its freezer and refrigerator doors facing up. Place your potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas, in every square inch of the refrigerator and freezer boxes. Keep the door shut and place a small tent or tarp over it to reduce sunlight and water damage to the refrigerator. Open the refrigerator at least twice per week to allow some fresh air inside. Use a second refrigerator or garbage can just for apples because apples will release a gas that will render other vegetables bitter. Store your onions, garlic, and winter squash in a cool dry place inside your home because the dampness and moisture of root cellars can cause onions, squash, and garlic to mold. We place our onions, garlic, and winter squash in our unheated attic during the winter and then move them downstairs in the early Spring. We keep our downstairs storage area under 60 degrees Fahrenheit through the winter and early Spring so the onions and winter squash stay fresh. If you cant find old refrigerators or garbage cans then try to find some old pallets. Pallets are usually easy to find and if damaged, they can be easily repaired. You will need six pallets to make a small root cellar. Dig a square hole in which you can place a pallet on each of the four walls. Make the depth of your root cellar about a foot deeper then the height of the pallets. Then tightly fit a large tarp inside the hole with the left over tarp on each side to cover the top of the cellar. Then place a pallet on the floor and four pallets on each wall (tie the pallets together with tie wire or a strong and thick string). Then place your last pallet on top and fold the remaining tarp over the last pallet so that rain water cannot enter.

Garbage Can Root Cellar

Above Right Photo: Potatoes are very easy to harvest when they are planted in old tires or buckets with rocks and holes in the bottoms of the buckets for proper drainage. Potatoes store well in dark and damp root cellars but winter squash, onions, and garlic need to be stored in a cool but drier location. We place our onions, garlic, and winter squash in an unheated room inside our house but potatoes, beets, rutabagas, carrots, and apples do better in root cellars.

LIVESTOCK
If you have a large survival community you will want horses for meat and for pulling heavy loads, cows or goats for meat and dairy, and chickens for meat and eggs. I like choosing livestock that produces two types of food. Dairy goats and cows produce milk and can be used for meat. Chickens can be used for eggs and meat (best for soups). Horses are good because they can be used for meat (in survival situations) and they can pull very heavy loads and till your fields. A few horses are good for a survival community because they can pull heavy tillers and carts filled with produce, water for irrigation, fertilizers, and supplies. Horses are also good for transportation when there is no gasoline. Therefore every large survival community should have at least a few good horses. Always have a few females for breeding and others for working. This way you will never run out of horses. Dairy cows or goats are very necessary for long term survival. They will provide your community with much needed protein and nutrition throughout the year. Small children are especially benefited by milk so you will need a steady supply of milk for long term survival. If your property is very small then get a few dairy goats. They don't take up allot of space and are much easier to take care of then dairy cows. Dual purpose egg laying chickens such as Rhode Island Reds are the best type of chickens for survival communities because they can provide a steady supply of eggs and can be used for making good soup. Eating the meat of egg laying chickens will not taste as good but if you cook the meat long you can make very tasty chicken soup. Egg laying chickens wont lay many eggs without egg laying mash or pellets. In a prolonged national emergency you may not be able to go out and buy commercial chicken feeds. My wife told me that her family did not need to buy egg laying feed because her families chickens free ranged all year round in the Philippines (all they had to do is throw their chickens some corn or rice). If chickens are able to eat plenty of high protein bugs and nutritious plants all year round then they will be able to keep laying eggs. However, North American chickens do not have fresh bugs and plants to feed on all year round so free ranging chickens will not keep them laying in the cold weather. I recently heard that many farmers are making their own egg laying chicken feed rather than buying commercial feed which contains unhealthy chemicals and even dead chicken and animal products. A good egg laying feed must include grains (corn, barley, wheat, or rice), plant matter (such as alfalfa hay), and beans (soybeans are the best complete protein) for protein. Alfalfa plants and soybeans have enough protein and nutrition to keep your chickens laying well. Make sure you roast the soybeans before feeding them to your chickens because soybeans have a protein inhibitor that needs to be burned away before chickens can benefit from the beans. The soybean plants themselves can be pulled up and fed to your chickens or goats (soybean plants are very high in nutrition). Save all of your egg shells to feed them back to your laying hens to provide them with enough calcium and nutrition to keep them laying eggs. Otherwise you will have to purchase oyster shells or calcium pellets to keep them laying. Some organic farmers are even raising crickets to give their chickens protein during the cold weather months. Wise and persistent survivalists will find innovative ways to successfully grow and raise their own food without having to truck in commercial feeds or supplies from far away.
Horses are good work animals for their strength but in survival situations they can also be used for human consumption. Europeans cook horse meat in a pressure cooker or they boil it for hours to soften the meat for soups and stews. If you refuse to eat horse meat then when they become old feed them to your guard dogs.

We recommend raising dual purpose chickens that are good for both eggs and meat. I prefer Rhode Island Reds because I have noticed that the Reds laid more eggs than the White Leghorns during the cold winter months. Rhode Island Reds are also good for meat but the Leghorns do not carry much meat on their bones. We prefer using the Rhode Island Red meat for soup only because their meat is not as tender as store bought meat chickens. If you wish to raise chickens for meat then raise and slaughter them while they are 8-10 weeks old or their meat will also become to tough. I don't like raising white feathered meat chickens because they consume an enormous amount of grain compared to egg laying chickens. You may not like dual purpose chicken meat but in survival situations you will be happy to have almost any kind of meat rather than no meat at all.

When gasoline becomes far to expensive for most Americans to drive their large automobiles so will the price of everything that is trucked in from far away become far to expensive. Therefore it will become necessary for local communities to raise their own dairy, poultry (eggs), and meat products. Since cow or goat milk is very nutritious and necessary for the growth and development of small children, communities should raise their own dairy animals. NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF GOATS MILK Goats milk is much more easily assimilated into the human body than cows milk. Goats milk is rich in Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium and Phosphorous. It has a good amount of Sodium and small amounts of Selenium, Zinc and Iron. Goats Milk is rich in Vitamin A, D and Choline. It also has small amount of Vitamin C, E, K, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Vitamin B12 and Pantothenic acid. Those who neglect raising dairy animals will miss out on a bountiful supply of daily protein and nutrition. The health of both growing children and adults is greatly enhanced by drinking milk every day. Calorie Content of Goats Milk: 100g of Goats Milk has 69 calories. Calories from fat are 36. Health Benefits of Goats Milk: Goats Milk is good to reduce the symptoms of ear infections, asthma, eczema and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also good for healthy bones and cardiovascular health. In a large and well prepared survival community many families can focus on many different types of work for the profit of the whole community. Some families can concentrate on raising dairy animals, while other families can focus on raising chickens for meat and eggs, while other families can focus on growing vegetables, others can build and repair houses, others can fix and repair tools and equipment, others can sew and repair damaged clothing, others can make clothing and blankets from animal skins and furs, others can cut firewood, others can transport firewood and other supplies, and others can focus on hunting, trapping, fishing, and gathering. Each family can share and barter with one another for the success of the entire community without using cash, bank cards, or the soon coming mark of the beast!

The nutritional value of goats milk and cows milk is relatively equal in value. However, goats milk is much easier for humans to digest. Since goats are much easier for families to take care of and since just one good dairy goat will supply about a gallon of milk per day they are the ideal dairy animal for survival communities.
Raising dairy goats is much easier than raising dairy cows because goats are much smaller and easier to handle. Although cow milk is more tasty than goats milk, goats milk is much easier for humans to digest. If you raise cows you will need more than one acre of pasture land per cow but goats require much less space. Furthermore, you can easily shelter your goats in smaller shelters with your chickens but cows will need very large barns.

Horses make plowing fields and carrying heavy loads easy work compared to plowing the fields and carrying the loads by hand. Horse tillers will not plow through newly cleared woods because the tillers will not plow through the thick roots that will take many years to decompose. It is best to use newly cleared woods for grazing, planting fruit trees, berry bushes, small mounds of winter squash, or for planting corn. Corn can be manually planted by poking 1 holes in hard unplowed soil (A three pronged pitch fork will make three holes at the right distance apart). If there is a large root or a rock on the surface or directly under the surface just dig it up or plant around it. Drop a grain of corn in each hole and then step on the holes to cover the seeds with soil. Plant each seed in a hole about 3 inches apart. My Philippine wife told me that her family use to plant corn in the Philippines this way. I personally spoke with Mennonites in Belize who told me that they also successfully planted corn like this in areas that were too hard to till. The Mennonites personally showed me the formerly wooded land that they cleared and successfully planted corn on even though the soil was filled with large roots. Like the Amish, these Mennonites live without using gas or electric. If oil becomes unaffordable then we may all have to learn to live allot like the Amish!

If oil becomes unaffordable then we may all have to learn to live allot like the Amish!

Corn is an excellent food to grow for long term storage for human consumption, poultry, and livestock. Corn stalk leaves and ears can also be fed to cattle or they can be gathered to burn as fuel for cooking and heating. Corn is easy to plant and can be sowed in rough untilled land. The American Indians used corn as a main staple survival food because it can be easily stored and eaten all year round. Cook hard dry corn to make it soft or mash or mill it into flower for corn meal or corn bread.

CHAPTER 4 PROTECTION

Desperate people do desperate things. Even in rural or remote locations there will be people looking to forcefully take your food and supplies from you. You may not like the idea of using physical force to protect yourself and your family but when things get really bad in America you will probably have to protect yourself and your life sustaining supplies. Those who fail to arm and protect themselves will likely be very sorry during the coming calamity. Many falsely believe that Christians have no right to defend themselves against physical assault but nothing can be further from the truth. Even John the Baptist commanded the soldiers to be content with your wages. A soldier cannot perform his job if he is unwilling to protect the public and the nation from criminals and invaders. If a Christian soldier can use physical force to protect lives then so can you! The early pilgrims first coming to North America were very dedicated Christians. They only used violence when they were under attack and had no choice but to defend themselves or be slaughtered. Using a firearm in self defense should only be used as a last resort. No one wants to kill another human being but sometimes it becomes necessary in the evil world we live in. Abraham, the father of the faithful, armed and trained 318 of his servants for war. Although Abraham was full of faith he also made preparations to defend himself, his family, and his community of believers. It is always good to do your best and leave the rest to God. I will be writing a book against Pacifism under Bible Difficulties in the near future but that is a subject matter Im not going to take time to address in detail right now. It is more important that you make sure you go out and get a firearm for hunting and for self defense. If you do not have any weapons then you will be powerless to defend yourself against those who have them. Those who will be depending on Police Departments to protect them during a prolonged national crisis will be in for a rude awakening!

FIREARMS
It may be a good idea to go out and buy some AK-47s and other military firearms. I was trained to use an M-16 when I was in the military but I do not own one now. A few of the brethren in our local church own some Aks and other military rifles. I think it is a good idea that at least a few members of a survival community have those kind of weapons. But to me the best weapon is the one that you are the best trained at and the most familiar with. A small glock is good for shooting inside homes and close quarter locations because it is hard to shoot around corners with rifles and shotguns without giving away your position well before you are able to take a shot. Unfortunately, in most States you will need a license or permit to carry a handgun. Since I am a Law Enforcement Officer I can carry a glock. That is my weapon of choice in close quarter combat. Yet if someone is shooting at me with a rifle or shotgun I am at a disadvantage because shotguns and rifles are far more powerful in taking down an opponent than a handgun. I receive annual law enforcement training with the Shotgun and the glock. Since I am the most familiar with these weapons they are my weapons of choice. Shotgun slugs have enormous take down power and are excellent for close range self defense. If you are like me you don't want to have to go out and purchase many guns. Guns cost allot of money and they also have to be kept clean. If you don't clean your guns they will rust out and become worthless when you need them. Therefore I suggest that you purchase one gun for each family member. Men and older teenage boys should be trained with shotguns and if women and teenage daughters complain of the strong kick back of shotguns then train them with smaller 22 caliber rifles. 22 caliber rifles have virtually no recoil. It has been my experience that women find it extremely difficult to operate shotguns because they have such a powerful kick to them. If shotguns are to powerful for women and teenagers then small 22 caliber rifles are the perfect solution. You can purchase a magazine clip for your 22 caliber rifles. This way you don't have to keep reloading in a combat situation. All you need to do is have a few magazine clips pre-loaded. When your firearm is empty just press the magazine release and tap in another pre-loaded ammo clip. If you have

Women and teenagers can use firearms just as effectively as men. Train your family properly and they will also be able to safely use them for hunting wild game. Firearms should only be used for protection against humans as a last resort. My late uncle told my now deceased mother that most of the American soldiers in his unit that attacked a beach in Normandy died by what they thought was elite German soldiers. After the few remaining American soldiers finally killed the German snipers they found that they were only a few German women in uniforms. After World War 2 the Russians testified that the German teenagers who had fought them were just as tough and good with firearms as the regular German soldiers were.

questions about firearms I suggest that you speak with licensed firearm dealers at your local gun stores. If you are purchasing weapons from a licensed gun store they will usually help you with all of your questions.

A SURVIVAL COMMUNITY
During a prolonged national emergency it is wise to link up with other people that you know and trust. It is better to join another family that also has ample supplies rather then remaining alone during a prolonged emergency. If one individual becomes sick or injured the other can help protect and take care of him. Two couples who have learned how to use firearms provides a defense of four. When one is working (doing chores, hanging laundry, or working in the vegetable garden) a second person can stand guard keeping a watchful eye on the worker. In times of a real emergency when people are suffering from lack of food and supplies it is wise to always have someone standing watch over the others in the group. All should have firearms nearby to protect the community. It is best to link up with more than just one other family. A larger community is best because the community can send out small hunting parties while others in the community watch the camp. Survivalists know that it is always best to travel and work in groups. It is best to never send out anyone all by themselves. During a national crisis always have at least two armed adults travelling or working together at all times. A survival community should have someone standing guard in a highly elevated location at all times (24 hours per day / 7 days per week). If there are allot of trees and shrubs around your camp it is best to cut them down and burn the branches. The watchtower should have a pair of long range night vision goggles and something loud to sound an alarm to the entire community. There should always be a watchman on an elevated and secure location who can keep an eye on the community, the livestock, and the vegetable gardens. The watcher in a highly elevated location (build a tower if necessary) should always have a loud trumpet, siren, horn, or loud sounding alarm at the ready to alert the community of danger. If the community is large there should be several guard dogs tied up outdoors in different locations all around the perimeter of the community. The dogs do not have to be big to sound the alarm. Large dogs are more formidable but they also cost more to feed. All dogs bark when then see an intruder so you don't have to spend allot of money to get a pure breed. I prefer German Shepherds because they are smart and formidable but I had a great watchdog which was half German Shepherd and half Rotweiler. This dog displayed both the intelligence of the Shepherd and the strength of the Rotweiler. Pitbulls are good watchdogs because they are tough but much smaller to feed. You can feed the dogs leftovers and the parts of wild and domesticated animals and birds that you don't care to eat. I suggest that you hunt everything, including pesty raccoons and opossums. If you don't like eating these critters then skin them, chop them up and cook them for your dogs. Dogs are not very picky when it comes to eating meat. Survival communities can learn allot from the way the early American Indians lived off of the land. The early American pilgrims would have died had they not learned survival skills from the Indians. Just like the American Indians did not waste anything so it is best to use everything available for the communities survival. You may not like living like the Indians but you may have too in the near future.

Survival communities must be prepared to defend themselves against armed intruders who may attack the community to take your supplies. It is essential that the community has manned observation posts, guard dogs (geese or guinea fowl) stationed around the camp and light to see in the dark. The observation posts must be manned 24/7 and a pair of generation three night vision goggles should be warn by the night watchmen in elevated locations where they can see the entire community. Make sure you do not plant corn adjacent to your community because the corn field will provide cover for trespassers. Whenever the guard dogs, geese, or guinea fowl sound a warning armed guards should be dispatched to check out the reason why the dogs are barking - or why the fowl are honking or cocking!

Above: Tree towers are excellent for watching your survival community. It is best to leave just a few trees for the tower and cut all the others down so that you can see clearly from all angles. The watcher should have a firearm and something loud to sound an alarm with such as a loud whistle, trumpet, bell, bullhorn, or siren. Whistles are cheap and easy for your entire community to carry. The German military used geese in World War 2 to sound a honking alarm whenever an intruder entered the area they were guarding. I know a neighbor who bought Guinea Fowl to eat up all the pesty ticks in his yard. He told me that these fowl always sound a loud alarm every time an intruder enters his yard (both night and day). These fowl roost in trees but coons usually cant catch them because they are flighty and roost in the thin branches where the coons cant climb. To keep your fowl completely safe from coons build a large cone shaped funnel around the trunk of their favorite roosting tree so the coons cannot climb it. Provide chicken feed (use high protein non-pellet feed in the winter) and water close to your house and the Guinea Fowl will never leave the area. To keep your fowl completely safe from most predators allow them to roost with your chickens at night. Since Guinea Fowl provide meat, lay a few eggs, rid the area of ticks, and provide an alarm system, these birds seem worth the investment. Im going to get some this year. If you want to keep and raise GUINEA FOWL READ THIS PDF E BOOK AT: http://www.ca.uky.edu/smallflocks/Factsheets/Keeping_guinea_fowl.pdf

Wind up lights do not require electric batteries.

Above: Guinea Fowl are easy free range birds that stay close to where you feed them. They always sound a loud alarm whenever intruders enter your yard and they escape predators by flying and roosting in trees.

Geese and Guinea Fowl are good for security because they sound an alarm whenever intruders enter an area. Since you can eat Guinea Fowl they seem like a better survivalist alarm system than dogs. Pit bulls make excellent guard dogs because their smaller size requires less food to feed than Shepherds and they are quite formidable attack dogs. However, pit bulls do not have heavy coats for extreme cold weather climates so use dog coats in the winter months.

POLICE WHISTLE

Police Whistles are easy to carry and are loud enough to warn an entire community. At just $4 per whistle everyone should have one on a key chain or around their neck.

ANIMAL TRAP

Watchmen should have loud police whistles or sirens that can alert the entire community. Traps and trip wires can be laid around the community in locations where the community knows not to walk. Place traps and trip wires in corn fields to protect your harvest. Since dogs have excellent hearing and night vision they will be alerted by the sound of someone falling or the sound of a trap going off at great distances. Kill all the coons, rabbits, opossums, squirrels, etc. that you catch in your traps and whatever you will not eat feed to your dogs. Constant trapping and hunting will eventually minimize the frequency of pesty night time critters.

Survivalists must have an elaborate system to protect their lives and their communities. Survival tools, traps, and supplies should be purchased in advance.

When the American financial system completely collapses America will be filled with violence on a scale never seen before. Many who have neglected to prepare for the coming danger will probably fall victim to thieves, robbers, rapists, and murderers. Even Marshal Law will not be able to protect the majority of citizens when most Americans fall into very desperate circumstances. What will you do when you call the Police and no one answers? What will you do when a Police dispatcher answers but admits that the Police Department is overwhelmed with calls and will not be able to respond for hours, or perhaps not at all? Are you able to defend yourself and your family without a Law Enforcement response? If not, you and your family are in grave danger! Guard dogs are good but even the best dogs cannot withstand armed attackers. Dogs should serve as an early warning system but not as a main defense. You must have a detailed security plan to protect yourself and your family. If you neglect to prepare in advance it will be too late to prepare later. When complete anarchy breaks out even Law Enforcement Officers will seek to protect their own families first. That is what happened in the Katrina disaster and that is probably what will happen throughout the nation when Americas oil supply is cut off. You must make complete and detailed survival plans now. Use this book as a guide to help you prepare but use your own wisdom to try to figure out what is best for you and your family based upon where you live. If you are living in a highly populated area then you should make plans to move to a more remote area where there will be less desperate people and plenty of wild game to hunt and trap. If you live in a city you must have all of your survival gear pre-packed and ready to go so you can quickly flee before traffic jams and violence breaks out everywhere. Buy traps, guns, and ammo now before a national crisis breaks out. During a crisis everyone will rush to obtain food, supplies, and survival gear but it will be too late to obtain them.

Many spoiled Americans will have to learn how to live off of the land without depending upon local supermarkets. Hunger and starvation will compel most Americans to eat local sources of food just to survive.

If the next full blown Depression is triggered by an oil crisis there may not be enough gasoline to bring essential food and supplies to the majority of Americans living in highly populated areas. Although the last Depression was characterized by increased crime the next Depression will be far worse because the government will not be able to handle the chaos and anarchy unleashed by hyper inflated prices. Unfortunately, it will become necessary for most Americans to defend themselves and their provisions from fellow citizens who will be willing to kill others for their life sustaining food supplies. Therefore it is absolutely essential that you are prepared to watch and protect your livestock, vegetable gardens, and supplies. If you fail to protect your food then you will be planting and laboring in vain. Train and equip your family and your community in survival skills and home defense. Your life and the lives of those you care about may depend upon making preparations now for the defense of your lives and property.

Firearms with stockpiles of ammunition are the paramount survival tools for every survival community. Without firearms you will be deprived from free life sustaining wild meat. And without firearms you will be defenseless against those who have firearms that will be more than willing to kill you for your food supplies. In a prolonged collapse of the U.S. food transportation system many starving people throughout America will kill each other for their food supplies just to live another day. If someone or a group of heavily armed people attack you with AK-47S and other military style weapons will you be able to defend yourself? It is a good idea for your survival community to have both hunting weapons and military weapons. You can use both to defend yourselves against armed attackers. Prayerfully you will never have to shoot anyone but it may be necessary in the near future. If you have weapons make sure you are psychologically prepared to use them against human attackers. Those who say that they would never kill anyone probably have never been in a life and death situation. If you actually experience a group of armed attackers trying to kill you, your wife, and your children you will probably change your mind quickly but if you have no weapons then you will be powerless against those who would kill you and your family. Go out and get guns and ammo now for hunting purposes so you will have the weapons when you might change your mind later and want to use them in order to save your loved ones, friends, and family with. It is far better to have the ability to choose self defense rather than being completely helpless against armed aggressors.

CHAPTER 5 REAL MONEY

GET OUT OF U.S. DOLLAR DENOMINATED ASSETS AND PROPERTY INCLUDING LARGE BANK ACCOUNTS, STOCKS, BONDS, AND REAL ESTATE AND BUY PRECIOUS METALS

Most Americans foolishly disregard the dropping value of their currency. Just because the currency has the same number on it does not mean that it retains its value and its purchasing power. When the world decides to dump the U.S. dollars as the major trading/reserve currency of the world it may quickly fall in value to well under 90% of its current value. Can you imagine going to get gas at the pump and it now costs you over 90% more to fill up your tank? Can you imagine trying to fill up your home heating oil tank and it now costs you over 90% more? It currently costs me about $50 to fill up my minivan. It would cost me over $400 just to fill up my van one time when the dollar collapses about 90%. It will then cost about $5,000 or more to fill up a 200 gallon home heating oil tank. Who could possibly afford these kind of prices? This is what we are talking about when we speak of hyperinflation. The value of the U.S. dollar becomes so weak and so worthless that it takes a whole lot of cash to buy very little. Germany experienced hyperinflation just before World War II. It took wheelbarrows full of paper currency just for a German family to buy a loaf of bread. The same thing recently happened to the African nation of Zimbabwe. The currency of that African nation

has become so worthless that the people of Zimbabwe cannot even buy their groceries with millions of paper dollars. Hyperinflation will completely reck what is left of the U.S. economy and will drive many normally law abiding citizens into crime because they will do desperate things just to find the means to survive. Once the U.S. Financial System collapses all Americans who failed to prepare while the times were relatively good will forever lose that opportunity to protect their wealth and their assets. Those of us who see what is coming in advance can scramble to prevent themselves and their families from falling into the terrible state of poverty that has gripped most third world nations around the globe. When the American Financial System does collapse America will become like a third world nation, or perhaps much worse. All of this will begin to happen in the Obama administration but I think that it will wax worse and worse within this decade. America is on course to experience the kind of hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic of Germany experienced just prior to World War II. There will be very great changes in the United States of America and they will not be good!
THE U.S. DOLLAR WILL LOSE VALUE THROUGH HYPERINFLATION

Right: People living in Zimbabwe need huge amounts of paper currency just to buy a loaf of bread. Severe hyperinflation is also coming to the United States of America in the very near future. Are you and your family prepared?

Hyperinflation in America will have catastrophic consequences!

The United States of America is not the only nation that is printing and borrowing too much money. Many other nations are going to experience hyperinflation because their national debts are also soaring out of control. This is why gold and silver will skyrocket in value in the near future. As the worlds fiat currencies are greatly devaluated there will be a much greater emphasis on real money, silver and gold. Those who quickly buy silver and gold with their paper currencies (while these currencies still have strength) are going to find themselves in a much better position than those who were caught unawares. If you have a good income and allot of money in your bank account now is the time to exchange that money for silver and gold. Had you purchased 50 ounces of gold about ten years ago it would have only cost you about $7,500 in U.S. currency. It is now January 2010 and the same 50 ounces of gold is now worth about $60,000. Gold and Silver has outperformed both the U.S. Stock Market and the U.S. Real Estate Market. Based upon the current course of world governments and especially that of the United States, Gold and Silver is still going to be the best investment over the next few years. I truly believe that gold will skyrocket in value to about $3,000 - $9,000 per ounce within the next three years. Although silver is much cheaper than gold, about $18 per ounce (as of January 2010) it should outperform gold as an investment and rise to over $200 per ounce within five years. This is truly a golden opportunity for Gods servants to take advantage of the current economic situation. It is far better to be a victor than a victim. Those who keep their money in U.S. Dollars and U.S. Dollar denominated assets are going to feel ripped off when the dollar comes crashing down. Act now because the God of Heaven has shown us that the window of opportunity is already beginning to close. We are not telling people to go out and buy silver and gold to get filthy rich. We are talking about surviving the dark days ahead. Use this golden opportunity while you still have the time to move all of your wealth into Silver and Gold. If necessary, go out and get a second job or work overtime to have the additional money to go out and buy silver. Many experts believe that Silver will outperform gold in the near future so we highly recommend stocking up on Silver.

BUYING GOLD AND SILVER

The best way to buy gold is through www.goldmoney.com - and choose to place your gold in a Swiss Vault. Never place gold or silver in U.S. or U.K. bank vault or safe deposit boxes. It is likely that the United States and the United Kingdom will seize gold and silver to prevent their citizens from buying it. The U.S. government seized gold during the last depression and it is quite probable that they will do it again. Therefore keep all of your gold money outside of the United States banks and vaults. I recommend keeping your gold money in a Swiss account at goldmoney.com because they are one of the most reputable companies but do not keep all of your precious metals there because you may not be able to access the money in a crisis. You can convert your gold money into many different currencies very fast and easy and they do not charge much for long term storage. I do not recommend buying and keeping silver money at gold money.com because they charge you a small percentage of money based upon the quantity of the precious metal and not on the type of precious metal itself. It is better to store your gold in a Swiss Vault through goldmoney.com and your silver money somewhere on your property. Silver coins can be easily exchanged as real money but gold is far to valuable to be carrying around in your pocket. I do not think that it is a good idea to store all of your precious metals in your home. Most should be in a protected vault outside of the U.S. Many will disagree with me and want to keep all of their precious metals in their home or on their property. That may be a good idea but I personally feel that it is too risky, especially when it is allot of real money involved. It seems foolish to me to place tens of thousands of dollars in your home. The same is true for precious metals. Always purchase at least $1,000 worth of silver or gold in cash at one time because this currently exempts you from paying taxes in New York State. If you do not have $1,000 then buy the precious metals with your close family or friends and divide it up later. Never buy $10,000 or more U.S. Dollars worth of precious metals in New York at any one precious metal dealer during a single year or they are obligated to report it to the IRS. Laws change and vary in different States so always ask each dealer or precious metal company the maximum amount of precious metals you can purchase without an obligation for them to report it to the IRS. Precious metal purchases are not based upon the calendar year but upon 12 months from the date that you first purchased from the precious metal dealer. If you purchase precious metals from Gainesville Coins Incorporated in Florida you can purchase as much precious metals as you want without paying sales tax and they will not report the purchase to the IRS. Gainesville Coins sells precious metal coins at the lowest prices that I could find. Call them and ask for their silver eagles at 1-813-482-9300. I am not suggesting that you don't pay taxes on the precious metals when you eventually sell them but I don't think you want the IRS ever knocking on your door to seize or inquire about your precious metal holdings. When you are dealing with precious metals it is best to abide by the maxim, lose lips sink ships. You don't want to go around telling everybody how much you have and where you have it stored.

STORING GOLD AND SILVER

There are many ways to hide precious metals where no one will ever find them. Here are some of the many ways to hide precious metals in your home or on your property: 1. FIRE PROOF SAFES: Buy two small fire proof safes. Place one in a visible area inside your bedroom and another inside a wall. Place a few silver coins in the visible safe and place the bulk of your coins in a small safe hidden behind a wall. You can put a hole in a wall and then sheet rock and spackle over it so no one but you and your spouse will ever know its there. If anyone ever comes looking for your silver then they will think that they have it all when they find the safe that is left out in the open. You should put precious metals in fire proof safes in case the home ever burns to the ground. Precious metals can and do melt in house fires. 2. GUN CABINET: Buy a large gun cabinet that is designed to screw into a wall with very long and strong screws. Make sure the screws are tightly screwed into support beams on the wall so that a thief would have a terrible time trying to move the heavy duty gun cabinet. Inside the gun cabinet you can place your guns and a fire proof safe with your precious metals inside. 3. UNDERGROUND IN FLOWER GARDENS: Wrap your precious metal coins or bars in many layers of zip lock bags. Then place the coins or bars inside a moisture proof ammo can. Then wrap a large oil soaked rag completely around the can. Then place several more layers of strong plastic bags over the can before you place it in the ground. Plant a perennial flower in the ground in a location and at a time when no one would suspect anything out of the ordinary. When you dig a whole in the ground make sure you dig the whole about a foot deeper then normal and place your precious metals in the ground directly under the perennial. This way you will

always know exactly where it is.

There are many places where you can safely store your precious metals where no one would ever think to find it. All you have to do is dig a hole where no one would suspect anything abnormal and then remember exactly where you dug the hole.

It is highly unlikely that anyone would ever think to dig down a foot under your perennial flower to find gold or silver. You may also measure a specific amount of feet from a particular perennial flower, tree, or bush but make sure you don't forget the exact distance and location. I don't recommend that you plant a tree or a large bush over the location where you store your precious metal because the roots will wrap around the container which will make it extremely difficult to retrieve it later. To increase security place the precious metals near an outside guard dog along with an outside listening devise inside the dog house. I strongly suggest placing a listening monitor in a car, garage, or outside shelter so you can hear if someone is trying to dig up your precious metals. 4. UNDERGROUND IN VEGETABLE GARDEN: Plant a vegetable garden and count off the exact number of feet and inches from a post or rock that you never move. When you cultivate your garden in the spring it is very unlikely that anyone will suspect you of placing your precious metals in your vegetable garden. Make sure you dig a whole at least two feet under the ground to make sure you don't hit it when you till or cultivate the ground later. The most important thing with burying precious metals is that no one sees you putting anything in the ground. If there are neighbors who might be looking make sure you find a way to create a barrier where they do not see you putting anything in the ground. Turn a wheelbarrow over on its side or have some other large item blocking the neighbors view. Make sure you don't look too suspicious or people will get nosy about what you are doing. Do not wrap the precious metals and put it into the can outside in front of your neighbors. Do that in the house and then hide it inside a box or bag when you bring it out in the garden with you. Discreetly place the layered bags with the can and precious metals in it inside the ground and quickly cover it up. Then start planting your vegetable garden right over it. 5. UNDERGROUND IN THE WOODS: Burry your precious metal coins or bars in the woods where no one usually ever travels. When you cover up the whole make sure you lay down a thick layer of naturally looking leaves so that the area looks just like the rest of the forest floor. If someone does happen to walk through that area and it looks obvious that someone was just digging the ground then they will get curious and may want to dig it up to find out what is going on. That is why we recommend that you do not dig a whole in the forest because it is a dead giveaway that you are doing something out of the ordinary. If you do burry your precious metals in the deep woods then make sure no one sees you doing it and make sure that there is no evidence whatsoever that the area was dug up. If you can hide all signs of your whole ever being dug and no one sees you digging in the area then it is a good way to store your precious metal coins or bars. If you ever burry your precious metals in the deep woods then make sure that you can remember exactly where it is located. The best way to do this is having a land marker that will not disappear and then counting off the exact amount of feet and inches from the location where you dig your whole. There are many other ways to safely store and protect your precious metals both inside your home and in your backyard. Whatever you decide, make sure that no one knows anything about your precious metal holdings at your home except you and your spouse. If something were to happen to you and your spouse it is a good idea to inform a very close and trustworthy relative or friend (who you name in your will to execute the will) about very important documents that you have hidden at your home which shall bless your beneficiaries. The executor of the will must be someone you can trust. The documents shall include your social security cards, bank records,

birth certificates, tax returns, info on stocks, bonds, etc, along with a detailed map showing the location(s) where the precious metals are located (the Map(s) will say that precious metals are in specific locations). We suggest that you place these documents in one of the above locations but do not place them directly with the precious metals. Make the executor of your will dig it up or break through a wall to get at the treasure map(s). Do NOT tell the executor of your will that you have precious metals hidden at your home. Let them find the precious metals when they search for your important documents (make sure all important documents are in small fire proof safes). You will actually show them exactly where the documents have been hidden or buried. Tell them that the documents are very important which will help dispense your wealth to your beneficiaries. If you have holdings at goldmoney.com you should have your holding number and your password buried in one of the formentioned locations in the ground (in a waterproof container) or hidden behind a wall or behind a ceiling (in a fireproof container). You will tell the executor of your will where the important documents are and in those important documents will be a map to the location where your holding number is and your secret password which shall enable the executor to gain access to your gold or precious metal money. It may sound like a big bother to go through all of this trouble but if you fail to secure your precious metal money you are making a big mistake. If someone gains access to your holding number and password they can access your gold or silver and might be able to get the spot price money value of your holdings. Again I emphasize the importance of having most, if not all of your gold holdings at goldmoney.com. If you do decide to store some silver money at your home then be careful not to store too much of it there. You don't want tens of thousands of dollars worth of silver coins or bars laying around your home. It is best to have no more than two or three hundred ounces of silver at your home. If you accumulate more than this you are taking a very big risk that it may be stolen. I would not place all of my eggs in one basket.

GOLD AND SILVER STOCKS, ETFS, AND OPTIONS

Gold and Silver stocks can be a very good investment but the risk of losing money or not making as much money is also very high. The first reason why I dislike gold/silver stocks is because most U.S. stocks are in U.S. dollars. If I had some gold or silver stocks I would want them in a foreign stock market with a strong currency. If I own gold stocks when the dollar crashes I will probably not be making as much money as actually owning the precious metals myself because the money I would make in American stocks would be substantially devaluated by the crashing U.S. Dollar. Secondly, if there is hyper inflated gasoline prices it will cost a tremendous amount of money to mine the gold and the silver. Since an enormous amount of gasoline is needed to mine precious metals much of the mining corporations profits will be eaten up by gasoline costs even while the price of the precious metals are soaring. Therefore you may not make as much money out of the stocks due to soaring gas prices. Thirdly, many gold and silver mining stocks lose money because they do not find as much gold or silver in the ground as they originally thought was there. Therefore it is possible to invest allot of money in a few gold or silver mining companies and actually lose money because they did not find enough of the precious metals to make a profit. ETFs are less risky because you are investing in many different precious metal companies all at once. If the price of gold or silver does soar there is a better chance that you will make a profit. However, since some of the gold and silver companies will not do well you are going to take some losses. When you calculate your profits in U.S. Dollars and cut out profits from the high cost of gasoline, you will probably not make as much money as you would have had you had actually invested in the precious metals themselves. At least, this is my opinion about stocks and ETFs. Yes there is a potential to make more money in stocks and ETFs but there is also a high risk of losing money, just breaking even, or making only a little money compared to actually owning the precious metals. I prefer the safety and security of owning the real precious metals themselves. Sling shot options are even more riskier than stocks and ETFs because you are taking a very big gamble that the spot price on silver or gold is going to go up or down in a given period of time. Some

options are just for a week or two while others are for a few months. If you are going to take the path of high risk investment, I think it is better to gamble with an option lasting at least a few months. I know a friend who made allot of money the first time he bought options based upon the assumption that the price of gold and silver would go up in a short period of time. He did so well that he either doubled or tripled his money in just a few weeks. Then he tried to do it again and the price of gold took a big dip down over $100 less than when he bought the option for. Now it appears that he lost more money than he had made the last time around. If you want to take very big risks in options you have the potential of making a whole lot more money but you also run the risk of losing allot of money very fast. I know that the price of gold and silver is going to go up in the long run but I cant tell you that it is going to go up every single week or every single month. Since I am more interested in surviving then getting rich I am the type of investor who likes to play it safe. It is possible to pray and have God tell you that gold will go up within a few weeks or within a few months. You could double or triple your money during this short time. But if you hear incorrectly then you will lose a substantial amount of money in a very short time. Should you choose options be prepared to lose allot of money as well as gain money! My best suggestion is to invest the safe and secure way but if you choose options, stocks, or etfs then make sure you are very prayerful and careful about your decisions.
The Obama administration has selected so called financial experts who have a terrible track record of failing to accurately predict the state of the American economy in the past. What makes us think that these so called financial experts are going to get it right this time around? If President Obama wanted accurate financial advisors then he should have picked true experts who already accurately predicted the housing bubble and the subsequent collapse of the U.S. economy. President Obamas decisions have set America upon an imminent path to financial ruin. The decision to print trillions of dollars out of thin air and spending trillions more in reckless bailouts and stimulus spending sprees is only going to send the U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar into a catastrophic collapse that will be far worse than it would have had these measures never been implemented.

A WORD OF CAUTION
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS
We are not encouraging Christians to buy silver and gold in order to become filthy rich. Money is not the root of evil, the LOVE of money is. We are not advocating the love of money. Money is simply a needed tool that we can use to survive and bless others with. If your goal is to use this book and the principles therein to get filthy rich to fulfill your own selfish desires then as Peter said to Simon the sorcerer, let your money perish with you! God does not approve of coveting money to fulfill selfish desires. It is important that Christians humbly pray and seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Do not allow the pursuit of silver and gold to distract you from your prayer life, Bible study, ministry, and Church attendance. God will not bless those who put Him second. God must always come first. Pray and ask the Lord of Heaven and Earth to bless you in all of your preparations. Christians should pray for financial blessings to meet their own needs and to have enough to bless others with. That should be the goal of every true and honest Christian. We must seek first the Kingdom of God and then seek second the needs of our families and Christian friends. Needs are basic life sustaining food, shelter and supplies. Wants are those things that we don't really need. Some wants are legitimate but other wants can be lavish. Christians are commanded to live simple lives and to use any additional wealth to help others with. Jesus commanded His followers to lay up their treasures in Heaven. The purpose of saving silver and gold is not to lay up our treasures upon the earth but to have real money for simple living and to help other Christians live simple lives. Abraham is called the Father of the faithful. Abraham had great wealth but he lived in a simple tent. There is no record in scripture of Abraham living a life of luxury or excess. The same can be said for most all of the greatest Patriarchs and Prophets of the Bible. Abraham used his great wealth to bless those who were with him but he was not a selfish man. Therefore it is possible for Christians to have great wealth as long as they do not hoard it for their own selfish pleasures. The Bible declares, Happy is the people whos God is the LORD! Only those who truly allow God to be the LORD of their lives can find true happiness. Money alone cannot buy true happiness. Many people want Jesus as Savior but they don't want to allow Him to be the LORD of their lives. That is why many professing Christians are not truly happy! Will you accept Jesus as both your LORD and your SAVIOR today? If so, then you must be willing to OBEY THE COMMANDS OF SCRIPTURE! One command is to use your finances wisely by living a simple life and laying up your treasures in heaven. Laying up treasures in heaven means that you share your wealth with other needy Christians and give the first fruits of all your increase to advance the Kingdom of God on earth.
Are you living a simple and unselfish life? Are you truly serving God and laying down your life for the brethren? Americas Survival Guide is designed to assist Christians to survive and prosper during the perilous days ahead. The precious metals and supplies that you save are meant to meet your needs, the needs of your family, and the needs of your Christian family. SURVIVAL and LUXURIOUS LIVING are TWO completely DIFFERENT THINGS! Survival means meeting all of your basic needs and not your sinful wants! May all who read this book seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and may all of our ways be pleasing in the eyes of our Creator!
