Ms. Jones, Firstly, I was talking to Felix Cobanovic pertaining to my amusement about his concern (apparently); for making money DURING a crash...See the first entry, made by him above. As far as Whiskey is concerned, it's an Excellent Bartering item, particularly if you have it in 1/5 glass bottles. Personally, I can think of MANY reasons for it to be sought after item; particularly if you are in a WWOL/SHTF World. It is a good antiseptic, but Hydrogen Peroxide is better for wound/infection cleansing. Some of my Family think it's serious enough that some of them have left the Country for the Southern Hemisphere. Other Family Members like me have relocated themselves and family out of Cities to safer rural areas. Strongly recommend you obtain Joel Skousen's Book, "Strategic Relocation" 3rd Edition for outstanding information/research pertinent to potential worse case scenarios; and how to prepare for them. Yes, I also have Family Members that choose to ignore the signs and symptoms and likelihood of this Country being attacked. I have warned them, and that's all I can do. If they choose to believe I am nuts for doing what I do, I really don't care; except that I'm not about to give my stores away to people that don't deserve it. They can take their chances in FEMA Camps, or hold on hoping that the Government is going to come to their rescue. Your ideal goal should be to have enough food to support yourself + loved ones for a year. Once you get the one year supply, shoot for a 3 Year Supply. Also, speaking for just myself personally, if I am shooting people, trapping in frigid weather etc. I'm going to need a good shot of Whiskey now and then (for medicinal purposes of course) :) ...
