I've been getting deeper into farming, bartering, foraging and all that and there seems to be a huge surge. Lots of people are canning, sharing goods, wanting to find ways to secure cheap and easy food. Mutual aid networks are on the rise and more people are starting gardens.
The people this draws also have useful skills like sewing, small engine repair, hunting, or fishing. Our barter economy has gotten rip-roaringly hot. People are trading their skills for food and skipping the money aspect altogether. More farmers are accepting gold and silver as payment.
Originally most of my clients were hikers who just wanted to know how to survive if they got lost. Now I'm getting a lot of people who would rather spend money up front to learn as a way to defer the future cost of groceries.

Feels like storm clouds are slowly rolling in
The US dollar is losing global dominance.
Hard assets are being accumulated.
I also believe the current administration will revalue gold to a much higher amount sometime around July 2026 (250 year anniversary).
