101 Things To Do Before the Global Economic Collapse

All prepped up but no collapse in sight?

Here are a few things to do to keep yourself busy:

1. Re-fill the bathtub with water (the last batch was starting to smell after a couple of weeks...)
2. Buy a DYMO Labelmaker and record the expiry dates on the outside of all those boxes.
3. Get in the car and time how long it takes to get all the kids from school back home by the shortest possible distance (best trialled on a Sunday morning).
4. Brush up on your Indonesian phrases ("I also admire Mikhail Kalishnakov", "Again I apologise for the phone tapping" etc)
5. Sort and count your Australian pre-decimal collection...again.
6. Have a family competition on just how high the silver price will go on "the day it all ends".
7. Debate whether The Day After or Threads is more realistic.
8. Collect all the old newspapers around the house and start stacking them (so many uses...)
9. Speculate on which neighbours in the street will turn out to be rampaging looters.
10. Count how many stray cats are seen in your yard and then debate whether stew or spit roast would be best.
11. Buy a vacuum sealer and seal up each individual matchbox (ok you are admitting the collapse won't be for a while when you start this task).
12. Wonder which will buy more bread, a pre-46 florin or a round 50 cent?
13. Click 'refresh' again on the Kitco charts and then check if you have your monitor upside down?

Anyone want to come up with a few more?

Cheers,

Ok....a few more.
Calculate how far one tank of fuel will take the city folk....remember petrol stations will be closed...triple the distance and head for that spot....buy a property and stock it with enough goodies to last until 2150....that should see you through
 
Guys, guys, guys. No need to fill the bathtub for flushing water. After a few days on canned food, you won't need to flush. If you're lucky enough to have a poo, it will be hard enough to throw out the window.
 
15. Realise that stacking gift cards was fundamentally flawed. Yes I know they are compact, high value, have a long shelf life and are difficult to product with primitive technology, but really what were you thinking???

14. Admit to yourself that if you're bartering away precious metals for something as basic as bread, you failed in your SHTF preparations. ;)

neither as if you are truly struggling to get a loaf of bread I guarantee you that someone who has the bread will value it more than a lousy hunk of inedible metal.
