For the purposes of Part III, I am going to leave the subject of hostilities to the group: Guns and Tactics. There they are a little better qualified to field questions/ideas on the various and myriad scenarios resulting from future history.

If (and when) the US Federal Government collapses into chaos, the Russians and other European countries (if not the Mexicans and the Chinese) are going to move in to carve up the scraps....

They are going to want their money back-- either in gold, excellent farming land, oil or if nothing else, blood.

My concern and goal here is two-fold...the first is to figure out how to "pick up the pieces" of our great nation and (more importantly) two....figure out ways that we can restart/rebuild our local economy(ies) while we still have the lights on and fuel (gasoline and diesel) in reasonable supply to prepare such a task. If we can do this thing…"We the People" just might have something that we’ve never had before…. A country of our own.

Each of these projects (in no real order) is not intended for any one person or family. Each is intended for a small group of families or in some cases for a small community. Some are more realistic than others. Even if you have nothing but an Internet connection and a will to live, you can help us and in so doing help yourself with ideas on how to make these projects work.
