If you are following any of the news, you know about the financial situation in Greece.
The response of the Greek people is an excellent example of exactly why we are making preparations, here.
The current news reports list "hoarding" of food and fuel, bank closure and limitations on cash machine withdrawals. This is curious in itself, why allow a limited flow of cash from a bank that is closed? Perhaps to keep crowds of people from storming the banks?
Reports also say that credit cards are being refused. A cash-only economy is running at the community level. I do not see any reports of use of gold or silver, but that information may be filtered by the news media.
Needless to say, we can take a lesson from the Greek examples:
Have some cash (even if it is devalued)
Stock foods
Stock vehicle fuel, if you plan on traveling anywhere at all.
Stock cooking / heating fuel
Keep your mouth shut about your preps (OPSEC...)
I will add, being able to protect your preps should be included in your plans ('nuf said?)
Interesting that the internet is still operating in Greece, for the time being.
That means that electrical power remains available. So far, it is only the banks that are closed, but I do expect this to change as the monetary solution proposed by the Greek government becomes reality.
It would be wise to look closely at how things go in Greece, so we know what can (may) happen here.
Keep your eyes open, please.
