Safety in a Failing Economy

Peak oil = yes.
Plus, the internal combustion engine was a bad idea when it was developed almost 200 years ago. I hope the stirling engine gets a more thorough investigation, it is an intriguing technology.

Here's a tip for your survival kit, from a builder:
Start stockpiling nails - all sizes, especially big galvanized ones. They are metal, which will always have value, they are great for structural applications. Nails can be hit with anything heavier than the nail. Screws are much less valuable, they break, the heads strip, they rust. Without power, you'd hurt your wrist and elbow driving them, that is if you have a screwdriver.
Just sayin'.
