Ty Andros joined us today for The Wrap. He was full of good cheer and optimism about the world financial system. Not really, but at least gold and silver are great buys right now. Remember, we've been telling you for at least a month that some horrible news is coming down the pike. It's starting to come out now, and it is extremely ugly. Banks are blowing up like improvised, explosive devices in Afghanistan. So, look for more of the same because the monetary system is on knife's edge. The situation is becoming clearer by the day; within several months, there will probably be no one left on the planet who believes anything a bank or government claims about anything, let alone the economy. Be prepared, that's the best you can do!

George Matheis, Jr. helps train the police and the military in basic survival skills. He's made this specialty his life's work and he has the experience and knowledge to help you prepare for almost any emergency. While it is impossible to be ready for every possibility, you can be ready for many different scenarios where normal public services and infrastructure are not functioning. George doesn't believe you need to become and extreme prepper to survive most emergencies but having a sensible and well thought out plan will go a long way towards protecting you, your loved ones and your community from these regularly occurring disasters. 

You can find his list for essential survival items below. According to George, these are must-haves during periods where either natural or manmade disasters are occurring. Surprisingly, the top items on George's list have little to do with self defense. Rather, they deal with providing you with enough water and nutrition to get through supply disruptions that have occurred in places like Japan, Miami and New Orleans in the aftermath of extraordinary natural events. 

George's list of things you should have with you whenever you leave the house:  

Stainless Steel water bottle (to boil water and soup/ramen in)
Aquamira Frontier Emergency Water Filter
Headlamp (that runs on AAs)
Leatherman Mulit-Tool
First Aid Kit (that includes 72 hrs of personal OTC and RX meds)
Baby wipes 
Lightweight Rain Jacket (keeps you dry and can be used to layer to keep warm, should be considered your first line of shelter)
Eye Protection (your sunglasses should be OK)
Gloves (I prefer Mechanix)  during any emergency situation there are going to lots of things that you can cut or burn your hands on, you have to protect your hands
Food (that is high in protein and fat, I prefer Almonds and Beef Jerky)
