Don’t Get A Ticket From The Police: Make THIS Kit Instead!

I hate it when I get pulled over for a burned out light on my vehicle and getting a ticket. After I get the light replaced I have to prove to the court system that I’ve replaced the light in order to get the ticket dismissed.

What a CATASTROPHIC Supply Chain Breakdown Will Look Like

When a society falls apart, it’s hard to know exactly how it will all fracture and break apart.  We can tell a little bit of our course by the challenges we face as a community, a nation, a world of countries.  When war is at your door, you can predict what things you won’t have: electricity, water, gas, safety, and so forth.  When a natural disaster strikes, you can also bet on the same services falling apart, and, given the length of the disaster, maybe social order too.  Some disasters have a local or regional zone and impacted radius.  Some are larger in scope and suck in other stable areas like a spiraling vortex.
