Hyperinflation shows its head once more on Doomsday Preppers. While I have gone on track record before with recent examples of hyperinflation which didn't create mass stress, those examples were dependent upon the rest of the globe sustaining relative harmony. The current illustrations were comparatively small countries in South America as well as Eastern Europe, a small percentage of the world economic climate. In the event of the US dollar declining, 26% of the world economy is at risk at least, that would be much more difficult to stop.
2. Storing sugar
Hopefully by this point I was capable to reveal the various factors that show why sugar isn't a good idea for a survival food. A diet plan intensely based on sugar and other carbohydrates would damage Pat's insulin sensitivity with time, make his hunger harder to manage, and result in his body to cannibalize muscle in case he had to decrease calories. Awful idea all around.
3. Trading with Alcohol
The idea of alcohol as a channel for exchange is interesting since it is a top grade, non-perishable item with innate value. In case of an infrastructure collapse it would be extremely hard to acquire alcohol from other parts of the country. Besides those that like alcohol, there are people who want it to deal with tension, and people who are literally addicted. This might make alcohol, along with cigarettes and other narcotics, prime real-estate in case of a collapse.
However if I were investing in alcohol, I would buy something that increases with age. Liquor in a glass bottle will not age, more or less, whilst something similar to a cask of whiskey in the barrel won't only keep but increase in value as the years went on . However , I perhaps drink a lot more scotch than Mr. Brabble.
4. Supply of guns
There is surely a point of reducing returns on the quantity of guns that Pat has. Aside from people trying to form an individual militia or arm their friends and relations, practically nobody can justify having this many guns for survival reasons. Should they want to collect guns for fun or as a hobby, that's one thing. However as the quantity of guns increases, the utility is reduced and may also become adversely adapted.
The quantity of weapons that Pat has require several types of ammunition. Unless he focused especially on consolidating to the most in-demand calibres of ammunition, the library of cartridges would get more complicated, making things difficult if there was ever a fight or a reason to bug out. Furthermore, there is only a lot of attention that may be given to how to properly function and keep a gun collection. If he had only 5 guns to concentrate on rather than 100 and was spending the same amounts of attention, he would have 20 times as much practice cleaning, assembling and shooting with each and every one.
