[Otto_Weddigen]

Looking at the current Economic Sitiuation,we can see that its getting worst,what type of necessities should people stock up now,for me its:

1.Food
2.Water
3.Weapons?
4.Toilet Paper
5.Medic kits

Money.

Forget about the toilet paper, Our money will be so worthless you will be able to use it.

I bought a gaming PC while I had the cash. Because I know there is no way in hell I am going to be able to justify one 1-2 years from now (or less) the way things are going.

Consuming is the best thing a consumer can do to help with the crisis, so stock whatever you want as long as it isn't money

You should have waited for the discounts to really kick in , I put off buying a new car last September , by December one dealer was doing 3 for the price of 2 . Now one is doing them half price .
Likewise with land and property , reccesion really opens up oppertunities , land is already down 40% over here and houses by a 1/3 . Once the repos really kick in it will be time to scoop them up just like in Britain when Thatchers free market economic "miracle" went belly up .
Though of course it does require that you are not already saddled with debt or need to borrow from the banks .

right on!

I know a lot of people who are in the personal preparedness thing to the extreme. Not that its a bad thing, but they are prepared for some pretty wacky stuff. (along the lines of the end of the world, nuclear war, etc)

7.62 and 9mm ammo and lots of it, - but get ammo for any rifle you own!

"Black Betty" is loaded and ready

And so is "Misha"

Let's see. Sawed-off shotgun, leather jacket, wild dingo, canned dog food, last of the V-8 interceptors.

Bring on the vermin on wheels.

Plenty awesome, the car also needs a supercharger with a slipper clutch.

I would bet that we will see some degree of inflation. The question will be "how much inflation and how long will it last?" I have always had a three month supply of grub and water. Had to restock as the old stuff was bloating the cans. Seems that spam has a very long shelf life as does canned chili. Distilled water is the only way to go because it will last almost indefinitey as compared to spring water. I would shy away from the MRE's that people sell at gun shows and such. They are rejects from the military and some have had sealing problems. they are over priced anyway. Tuna fish is pretty good and i buy it when it is on sale for 2 cans for a dollar. So if the crap hits the fan you are all welcome to dine here so long as you like creative dishes made out of tuna, spam and canned chili....
