When it comes to surviving an economic depression, people automatically think of money, food and shelter.
While all of those are very important, there are also other things that you will need if you truly want to survive the coming economic depression.
The first thing is warm clothing.
This is something that most people fail to think about.
Having warm clothing is very important during an economic depression, especially if you live in a cold climate.
So store up plenty of blankets, jackets and other cold weather items.
If you live in a region where it rains a lot, make sure you have adequate rain attire.
The second thing you will need are lighters and matches.
Having lighters and matches will allow you to boil water, light a fire and cook your food.
Again, all things that are essential to your survival during an economic depression.
You should also store up candles as they will come in handy during this type of situation.
Not only do they provide light but they will also provide some heat.
The third thing you will need are flashlights.
It is a great chance that you won't have any electricity during this time.
So flashlights are very important.
You will want to get the ones that you crank because they will last longer.
If you are going to use the battery powered ones, make sure you start stocking up in advance so you will have plenty of batteries.
Another thing that most people don't think about are comfortable shoes.
In an economic depression everything is scarce.
You might not be able to put gas in your car which means you will be forced to walk where ever you need to go.
That's why having comfortable shoes is extremely important.
You don't want to be walking around for hours in shoes that hurt your feet.
And last but not least, you will need equipment that will allow you to communicate with family and friends.
In an economic depression you won't have a landline that you can use to make a phone call when you need to.
So you will have to figure out a way to communicate during this time.
If you have a cell phone, that's great.
You can even use walkie talkies.
No matter what it is, just make sure you have a plan in place that will allow you to communicate and call for help if you should need it.
