The bank crisis, inflation and oil - oh my! Is it just me or is there enough doom in the news to force anyone to pop some happy pills just to stay sane?
*sip of coffee*
Food shortages, firewood prices and the Iranian showdown - egad! Is it just me or is there enough gloom in the news to make anyone feel on edge?
*sip of coffee*
*fidgeting feet*
The bulk of my savings is in the bank. How long before it implodes? Grocery store prices are bruising my wallet. How long before it keels over?
*sip of coffee - empty cup*
Heating oil is $4.60 a gallon. ONE 275 gallon tank = $1,265! My tanks are 4/5’s full . . . for now. Wood - right. Got boatloads of cash for maple, beech and oak?
*pour more coffee*
*fidgeting feet*
*two scoops of sugar*
*stir and sip*
My backyard garden is weak. “Honey, salvage those 4 blackberries. One for each of us.” #10 cans of freeze dried foods are gone, and ammo is through the roof. A guy can’t even tank out his frustrations at the range without breaking the bank.
*sip, sip - gulp*
Holy CRAP - I’m going insane! Shhhhhhhhh . . . . *looks to the left and to the right* . . . . Big Brother is listening. Time to don your tinfoil hat.

BTW: Make yourself feel better by shopping through the SHTFblog Amazon search bar - left sidebar, yeah, there it is. The more you spend the better I feel - lol.
Also, thanks to the person dropping a SHTFblog link in the Cheaper than Dirt forum. You my Ace!

Well, man- it made my day meeting you. I just told my wife about your blog. We are forever WOG as a family and gearing up as best we can. Love that surplus store. Let’s go to the range together someday.
p.s.- now that we understand each other, let me recommend making your own wine and building a stash of it for the upcoming shit-storm. Nothing trades better when it all runs out than good wine and other booze. (maybe smoked salmon)
Wine=food+ammo.
Wog-out.
