I think it's also important to invest in ourselves..... When I first realised that we can not rely on the government to protect and feed us during something like an economic/social unrest scenario, like many I stocked up on food and water. Since then though, I've invested in myself. Spent time in the wilderness, read books and experimented with a self-reliance mindset. I'm no Bear Grylls but I do feel more comfortable in being able to source potable water, food and security for myself and family. I imagine that's possibly an odd concept to many in this day and age but it does help me sleep better at night. Any hoo, rant over :)
