I bought a mini fridge. Air conditioning. I bought a lot of clothes, slippers, shoes. I bought a lot of hand tools and some power tools. I bought plenty of food (for storage). I have over twenty gallons for storage (I use 3 for storing water), more than 100 plastic bottles, more than 20 glass bottles.


Next things will be : Buy more of all of the above, buy tools to work on land, seeds, etc.

I don't spend another penny on games, computers and cell phones anymore, I don't even have a smartphone and I don't need one either, I only buy real, visible and useful things now.

Great advice. The best gift to yourself is being the strongest, both mentally and physically, as possible.

Farming is great for this. Manually throwing g bales of hay onto a flatbed all day means a great sleep at night.

I knew a farmer in his 90s who spent decades milking cows by hand daily. He had been retired for over 20 years but still had the strongest handshake I've ever felt.

Bet he can give a mean tug job too!

So you're preparing for things going wrong, great. Now start preparing for things going right. /s/bankless

Get at least one

50 amp hr lithium iron phosphate battery. Enough power to run power tools in spurts. Affordable now. Will last 10 years or more.

An inverter of at least 1000 watts steady.

As much solar as needed to replace what you use each day

Old corded power tools can be gotten cheap from pawn shops. Also easier than charging batteries

Jigsaw, circular saw, electric chain saw, hammers and tons and tons of nails.

Also learn how to make wooden pegs to replace nails.

Anything to melt some metal.

A electric blower. Even an old hardryer can do which can also double as a heater in a pinch.

A couple of good water pumps.

Hoses. Electric cord. Pipes. Like people's throwaway garden hoses and extensions cords or from yard sales.

Spare cloth. Seewng machine. Strong needles for hand sewing. Good thread.

If you have a place to store scrap in your yard you can get most of these items for free.

Tin roofing.

Honestly this stuff is fun to have around anyway.

A good shovel.

A trencher if you can find one

A couple of cheap analog radios.

A few good books for fixing and making and gardening that you store in air tight containers. Remember most bags now are made to decompose so bagging is not good enough.

Some water purifying filters.

And learn to make some from clay.

Learn how to fire clay in a homemade clay chimney.

Learn how to cast metal in sand from imprints.

One of those laser wood cutters. Would be a great.

You could actually make products to sell with lots of this stuff so make money while you learn.

Home fired unusual clay pots are always sellable.

I have ~$7,000 in hand tools alone, another $1,200 in power tools. And like another 1k in jacks and stands and misc stuff.

I rarely buy stuff, and when I do I plan to get my money's worth. I only splurge on food and car stuff. The car does a lot for me so I maintain it the best I can, and food, well...that's your temple.

Clothes last me a long time. I replace shoes like I replace tires on my car. Once the tread is worn out.

Tell me which hand tools you find most useful and use the most. Like I said, I plan on buying more.

My sockets, and ratchets. I have every type of socket and extension.

A hydraulic press is a must, welding equipment, even a cheap mig welder is better than no welding. Drill press is also invaluable. Band saws. Milling machine if you can afford it.

With that if you can cut and measure you can build just about anything you can imagine. The best tools are the ones that let you build stuff from scratch.

Sockets spanners and ratchets are very important but no more important than hammers and screwdrivers.

Spend good money on a non chinese set. I've had mine for 15+ years.

Nice, quality toolboxes are a good investment earlier the better because it seems the prices rise 10% a year. Get a big set, bigger than you than you can imagine using because you'll have it filled up soon enough after things are organized nice and you stop losing tools. I got the big Milwaukee ones when they first came out(not high quality but big) and I regret not buying enough to fill the whole wall.

Here's something else to think about. A barber cuts hair, he doesn't own the barber shop, he rents the chair he works on.

don't forget about medical supplies also. Bandages, alcohol, peroxide, tums, alka seltzer, tape, cotton balls, mineral oil, apsirin, advil, etc. And of course alcohol- vodka, whiskey, tequilla, rum , etc.

Stop buying. Start saving and investing. Buy assets you can touch, things that will make you money.

What do you think about board games?

[–] [deleted] 5 pts

I do not like them, I still play games on the computer, but all pirated and others from emulators.

[–] 0 pt

I pirated almost all of my software, games, movies and TV shows for the past 20 years. Bit torrent isn't going anywhere. Very few games are uncrackable. Diablo III was the only one I can remember that wasn't cracked. I did buy GTA V for the Xbox 360 because it ran like dogshit on PC when it was released. I don't play multiplayer games though.

If I want to support a band I'll buy their album off bandcamp or go see a live show.
