What To Do
Today, more Americans than ever are absolutely convinced that we are headed for an economic collapse. After all, it doesn't take an advanced degree in economics to understand that American consumers, American businesses, local governments, state governments and the U.S. federal government are all drowning in debt.

How To Build An Emergency Fund – Canadian Finance Blog
So you’ve paid off all your debt and want to start to build your savings and investments? Before you start working on building up your RRSP, your first savings priority should be an emergency fund. I’ve mentioned previously that I don’t believe an emergency fund makes much sense if you still have debt. By paying down debt on a credit card or credit line, you then free up that balance, which could be re-borrowed in the event of an emergency. At the same time, paying down your debt, especially if it is high interest debt, allows you to stop wasting money on interest payments. The longer you are in debt, the less money you have to build up your own wealth. Why an Emergency Fund Matters If your debts are paid off, an emergency fund acts as a form of insurance. Most often, emergency funds are described as a safety net in case of job loss. Building Your Emergency Fund You might have to start small to reach your initial goal, and that’s ok.

8 Common Mistakes of Wilderness Survival
1. No Shelter This is a two fold mistake that will cost you your life in a Wilderness Survival Situation. The first fold of this mistake is not having a proper shelter with you, the second fold is not having the knowledge to build a shelter from nature’s tools which are all around you. 2. People who venture into the Wilderness without a map, compass, and GPS are flirting with disaster. Anyone who has spent time in the woods knows that within seconds even the best woodsman can get turned around in thick trees and bushes and begin to walk the wrong way. 3. “Be Prepared” is the motto of the Boy Scouts, unfortunately most people who find themselves in a Wilderness Survival situation have very poor knowledge on how to survival and are usually totally unprepared. 4.
