Dear Reader,

Tough times, again.

Watching the Federal Reserve's hysteria, I cannot envision an outcome that will not, sooner or later, lead to riots, probably as bad or worse than the 1965 Watts riot and 1992 Rodney King riot.

The trucking industry has a motto: if you have it, it came by truck.

Even if you live in a quiet, remote place where your physical safety is not an issue, you could still be affected by shortages. Cities are transportation hubs, and your supplies of food, medical products and other necessities come through one or more of these hubs. The turmoil could halt rail and truck shipments.

I believe a 30-day stockpile of all of life's necessities is a must and, if you can afford it, a lot more.

This is not just for an economic emergency. We never know what life will throw at us. Almost every spot on earth is vulnerable to some kind of disaster: floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, plagues, famines - the possibilities are endless. It is good judgment to always be prepared.

Unless, of course, you expect to be quickly rescued by the government.

Food, prescription drugs, toilet paper, fresh water and matches are a good place to start.

Don't forget cash - small bills and coins. Banks might close for a while, and if you need to buy something, the seller may not be able to make change.

Jim Powell of GLOBAL CHANGES AND OPPORTUNITY REPORT is an expert on emergency preparedness. Jim says Mountain House freeze dried food is the Mercedes Benz of the emergency provisions. You don't need to cook it, it's reasonably palatable, and the #10 cans have a shelf life of 30 years if stored in a cool, dry place.

Alternately, if you'd rather not spend money on food we hope you will never need, make a list of all the canned goods and other well-preserved foods you normally eat, stock up on them, and rotate.

If you do live in a place where self-defense could be necessary, there is, in my opinion, no substitute for a 12-gauge pump shotgun loaded with #4 buckshot. Not number #4 shot, #4 buckshot.

If you are not well trained to use a firearm safely, call a local gun club or gun shop and ask about safety courses. Look in the Yellow Pages under Guns.

Ammunition will last at least 50 years if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

I am not predicting the end of the world or anything remotely like it. I'm just saying, be prudent, be prepared - unless, again, you know for a fact that no matter what happens, you will always be promptly rescued by the government.
