You'll be running for president next Gail.

I've read enough today, both at TOD and other PO sites, to have made up my mind.

Today, I'm going to max out every credit facility I have to purchase: NPK, manure, mulching materials, solar electricity hardware, water storage, reticulation supplies, fuel storage, weapons, ammunition and tools.

Have I left anything out.

Thanks to all at TOD for great work. I've been reading your site for about 18 months now and in that time the overall feel has gone from "they are a bunch of fringe dwellers with a reasonable hypothesis" to you know "These folks are spot on and when mainstream catches on it's 'feces to the impeller'".

This could all unfold rather quickly. I plan on worst possible outcomes generally and previously thought we would have about five years to get ourselves organized. I now believe 2008 is the last good year we'll see in this civilization and will have to get busy with shovel and hammer setting up my home for survival in a maelstrom. I'm feeling energized by the challenge and look forward to the true freedom and authority that self sufficiency will give me in a world destroyed.

If I were to give any advice it could be summed up very simply; Permaculture and Solar Power NOW.
