I Live in Buenos Aires, and the blog that talks about Argentina is fairly paranoid and innacurate. Mostly "I´m a right-wing thinker, superior to the majority of the population of my country and the streets were more safe when the army ruled the country" kind of stuff. It´s a common type of person around here that tends to think that all the people in Argentina are stupid and that all people in the First World are superior.
Got an interesting letter from Home Depot telling me that they are no longer honoring their "No interest, no payments for (6 or 12) months" promotions.
Slowly but surely, everybody is becoming more and more desperate for that minimum monthly payment.
Good thing I paid off my fridge in December.
re Monday, February 22, 2010 Citigroup warns customers it may refuse to withdraw money:
What a wonderful read, especially "Persistent Unemployment, Without Lingering Pain - 29% unemployment in Spain."

Thank you for your response. I noticed that about the article, too. He also said "I like guns" which is bound to flavor his views.
But what was useful for me was his priorities concerning what is needed when everything goes down. Granted that he is a little stuck up and definitely in a high economic bracket, his take on dry food / fresh food, what to look out for on the street, what kind of flashlight to have ... impressed me and motivated me to prepare for America's demise.
Do you have any observations you'd like to share, along these lines?

is that a solar dehydrator you are thinking of making?
If so, please please let us know how and the results.
I have been looking for a good design for a some time.
Over many years I have been collecting books on most aspects of self sufficiency. Two good books for the life boat are:
'Where There is No Doctor' and 'Where there Is No Dentist' both published by The Hesperian Foundation. They will be worth their weight in Gold when TSHF and medical or dental services are too far away or non existent. A good medical herbal would also be invaluable.
