With currency devaluation, government overreach, civil unrest, bank bail-in legislation, labour strife, market corrections, negative interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, economic decline (perhaps even collapse), it seems almost impossible to protect one\u2019s wealth completely without even worrying about everyday calamities that can place financial stress upon an individual and\/or family. The following suggestions seem the most likely way to prepare for an uncertain world, and avoid some of the more dire consequences of increasing volatility and possible confiscation by the-powers-that-be (a concern that must be considered as governments become increasingly insolvent).<\/p>\n<p>It also seems prudent to reduce dependency on complex systems that are prone to disruptions over which you have no control, such as distant supply chains or infrastructure frailties\u2013that is why I believe at the base of your thinking should be a desire for yourself\/family\/community to become more resilient and self-sufficient. (Note: I have included links to articles found on The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesurvivalistblog.net\/\">Survivalist Blog<\/a>\u00a0only to keep the discussion \u2018in-house\u2019; and, the information that follows is not meant to be investment \u2018advice\u2019 but one person\u2019s thoughts on how to prioritise \u2018investments\u2019.)<\/p>\n<p>A common question that arises when contemplating emergency\/disaster planning is where to start?<\/p>\n<p>First, focus on yourself and basic survival gear.<\/p>\n<p>Skills and knowledge you acquire are the most difficult to be taken from you. First Aid courses. Fitness\/healthcare-oriented activities. Hunting courses. Archery\/gun use. Gardening\/food production knowledge. Survival training. \u2018Handyman\u2019 skills. Building a \u2018survival\u2019 library. Activities, training, and literature that can help you and your family cope with unexpected crises are perhaps the wisest \u2018investment\u2019 and can\u2019t be confiscated by the-powers-that-be.
