59 A lot of people don’t prepare as much as they could because they worry the cost is prohibitive. A good strategy for long-term survival and preparation is to buy what you can afford now. As time goes on, slowly replace or back-up the cheaper items with better items as you can afford them. Even the cheap stuff is #109 better than having nothing at all, and the longer you go without an emergency, the better your total gear will be. Submitted by David, Auburn, WA In long-term survival situations, you may need to think in terms of a “barter” economy. Make sure you have items on hand that you can use as “money” in such a situation. These may be things you need, and they may be things that other people want, such as luxury items. These include tobacco, chocolate, painkillers, and similar items. Submitted by Steve, Normal, IL When an emergency happens, you will have a brief window during which everything is still working. Charge your phones and other batteries during this period. Fill all your bathtubs with water. Collect anything you can think of collecting while you still have access to power and utilities. This MAY be enough to get you through the emergency, or it may at least get you started. Submitted by Alexander, Vancouver #110 #111
