As we say often here at Peak Prosperity: When it comes to preparing for crisis, it’s far better to be a year early than a day late.
I’m perfectly willing to be early on timing, as long as I get the direction right.
For example, I invested heavily in gold and silver beginning in 2001. My first purchases of gold were at $300/oz. Silver at $4.53/oz.
I was early. Prices didn’t really start taking off until 2006.
The bulk of these purchases happened after the sale of my house in 2003 when I had ~$250,000 of gains I had to do something with. I rolled all of it into bullion.
I was early on selling my house, too. The housing market didn’t roll over until 2007.
Was I early on calling a housing bubble? Yep. Was I correct? Again, yes. Looking back does it matter that I was early to both the housing correction and precious metals rallies? Not at all.
Here again I can state with equal conviction that we each need to be prepared for massive changes coming. If that sounds vague it’s because they are going to impact virtually everything and every system we hold dear.
Political. Ecological. Financial. Cultural. Social. Our lives. People we know. Our communities. All of them. Every. Single. One.
Massive debts, insufficient resources, rising pollution, collapsing food webs, and a near incomplete ability to have a proper national or global dialog about any of these things. That’s what is setting the trajectory.
Now, I very rarely send out Alerts. An Alert is triggered if and only if I come across information that causes me to personally take action.
Which I why I’m now issuing an Alert that after nearly 20 years of living in the same geography, I’m relocating. Recent events have accelerated to the point that I’m no longer comfortable in my current location.
My top priorities: more land, a more robust local community that shares my passion for resilience, and state government that has greater respect for the individual and personal liberty.
Specifically, I’m placing the greatest value on… (Enroll now to continue reading)

CM.com Alert:
by Adam TaggartAfter hearing reports of depleting inventories of pre-packaged, ready-to-purchase stored food, CM.com did a little investigating. It turns out there's truth behind the rumor.
Yesterday, Zero Hedge observed:
It appears that Mountain House, which is one of the better purveyors of freeze dried food and holds over 30 servings and last for 20 years because they are packed with nitrogen rather than oxygen, is now sold out of all #10 cans. And for those who go to NitroPak, which sells these products, they have the following message:
***CURRENT INVENTORY UPDATE***
There is currently EXTREMELY high demand for all of our Mountain House foods nationwide due to current economic uncertainty and inflation fears. With this increase in demand, our food order processing times have increased also. As Mountain House’s leading distributor, we are receiving huge shipments weekly to fill our customer orders. We are shipping as quickly as we can. Your charge card will not be charged-up until we are ready to process your order. Thank you for your understanding and patience! Harry R Weyandt President
Nitro-Pak is one of the distributors we often recommend to our readers, so we started there. Sure enough, the above inventory update is prominently posted.
I then placed a call to The Ready Store, whose products we link to from the Storing Food section of our 'What Should I Do?' guide. They also include a lot of Mountain House products in their food packages. They, too, are seeing high demand, which is affecting their promised shipping times.
