Jim Rawles - Survival And Self-Reliance In The Crash

[FastTadpole]

Yeah, it seems like I should be doing some prep further than watching old episodes of Survivorman and camping in my backyard. I haven't really invested much in longer term survival due to the daily grind. Thankfully knowledge is relatively cheap for those who know how to get at it so I'll get what I can while I can for my family and I.

Any good advice for winter climates where (heat) energy is essential to survival? I've stocked up spray foam but wood / natural gas may be hard to come by.

What about debt? Is it best to let it ride and max out credit get real goods while cash still has value until inflation accelerates off of the cliff. Is it best to just pay off what I can now for fear of well I don't know what the worst case scenario is really in Canada -- debtors prison, kids taken away? Or a 3rd option of filing bankruptcy before any laws change? I don't really have too many hard assets to lose and I am quite portable atm by design.

Don't be afraid to suggest anything for fear of leading your fellow man in the wrong directions I'm considering all opinions right now and would like all the input I can get and many here seem well tuned and have given this more thought than I.
