Ive been prepping at various times throughout my life. Having wine and chocloate on hand is a novel idea. I would prefer the wine (or whiskey) but not to drink, rather to trade or barter with. In the event of economic colapse you will have a few things that have and will continue to be used as tender. One is of course alcohol. If you have it or can make it you can get damn near anything when SHTF. Another is precious metal and gems. They are always in demand th world over, no matter how much of a shit hole country you may happen to be in. The last is always prostitution, the oldest profession. If you've got a hankering for for an old sea hag with whiskey on her breath and 2 gold teeth and you have something worth trading.....we should talk when SHTF. ;-) Ok Im not going to pimp my Grandma. Its my friends Grandma. Yes it is tasteless but keep a sense of humor when SHTF too. It will help more than your 12 guage most days. Im slightly older than young at 38, but not old.

There's some good stuff in the book about how to recognize intuition, and also (in the very last chapter) how to distinguish real fear of real dangers from worry about hypothetical dangers. If you enjoyed reading The "Gift Of Fear" i recomend reading Gavin De Beckers new book " Just 2 Seconds". I was intrigued by the title “Just 2 Seconds” and having read DeBecker's "Gift of Fear" couldn't wait to read his insights on this fascinating subject. "Just 2 Seconds" did not disappoint. Within a few sentences, I found myself hooked. This book provides numerous insights on protecting public figures. I've recommended this book to many friends and each has agreed with my assessment. If you're in the protection, security, or law enforcement business, this book is a MUST HAVE! Gavin de Becker, Tom Taylor and Jeff Marquart understand the topic and present the material in a way that the reader can easily understand and digest The “Gift of Fear” in the title refers to the intuitive ability of human beings that allows them to detect danger quickly, without conscious, logical thought.
