   Many folks recognize the value of food, ammo etc. and have acted accordingly. What about antibiotics? They are inexpensive, last decades when stored properly and save lives!

   Time is of the essence. Ten years ago you could buy medical antibiotics without prescription. Big Brother shut that down. Next they will close the ‘fish tank loophole’. Many sites already require prescriptions for even fish antibiotics!

   You can search SurvivalBlog and find excellent articles on antibiotics. Read the disclaimers as they apply to what this old coot is saying. Then act accordingly.

   1. Do not forget about the dangers of post-dated tetracycline antibiotics. While most antibiotics do not go “bad”, taking out date tetracycline can kill you. Everyone please do the research necessary to make sure that the antibiotics that you store and use will not turn on you in your greatest time of need.

   2. Good reminder, Montana Guy. Uncertainty in these times demands we store these. And I am afraid the fish market will soon be regulated.

   3. Great recommendation. I recently had to make a decision whether to buy ammo or antibiotics. I chose to fill a hole in my arsenal of antibiotics. I’ll barter programmed radios for 5.56 today. IMHO, and historically, in times of strife, there will be a huge black market for antibiotics, and other critical medicines. fishfloxfishmox.com has a good inventory.

4. The Editors’ Quote of the Day:

   “If America could be, once again, a nation of self-reliant farmers, craftsmen, hunters, ranchers and artists, then the rich would have little power to dominate others. Neither to serve nor to rule. That was the American Dream.” – Edward Abbey

   It is perilous and sad that the once Shining American Dream has morphed into this mangled maze of madness. The new modern American Dream is to not only attain that 15 minutes of fame but to do everything necessary to stretch it out to 30 minutes. The will for Liberty has been replaced with the desire for libation. The desire for Independence has been replaced with the drive for indoctrination. And happiness has utterly been confused with consumerism. Oh how the mighty have fallen oh, woe is us!

5. I am curious about the Israeli diamond market. Is this for industrial diamonds or diamond for the individual consumer market, ie bling? Two very different uses, only one of which is practical.

   I’m grateful to be married to a woman who values me washing the dishes over buying her jewelry.

   Carry on

6. I too believe that stocking up on antibiotics is a wise thing to do. It may be even more important than having an ample supply of food, water, guns and ammo and shelter. The reason I say that is if you ran out of the above mentioned preparations there should be a way to compensate in order to survive. For instance if you ran out of food you could probably scavenge at least something from nature just to keep from starving. And if you ran out of water you could probably find some water somewhere that could be boiled and then drank just to keep you alive. The same goes for guns and ammo. If you no longer had them in your group you could at least come up with other types of weapons to protect yourselves. And there are a whole host of ways to find shelter in a pinch. But just think, if someone in your group had an infection that required antibiotics in order for that person to survive there would be no other way to compensate for not having that antibiotic. If you need antibiotics you need antibiotics. Period. I would encourage every prepper to stock up on them now because the day may come that that would be the only thing to save your life or the life of a loved one.

7. Tacoma, WA city council want to add taxes to both ammunition and firearms starting January 1, 2020.

8. So did anyone else see the correlation between the article about Seattle banning heating oil and what their alternative is and the article about PG&E shutting off power…They want you helpless and if your not doing everything you can to counter that then you are way behind the curve…
