Survival Preparedness for $100 Dollars

Modern Survival Blog

I was holding a hundred dollar bill the other day and I really started to think about just how much of certain survival items that this thin piece of cloth could still buy (that is until the dollar falls into a cesspit). I used the companies on MSB and all over the internet, the local sporting goods stores, markets, and other places to come up with just how much you can still get of what you will definitely use in and out of disasters.

I searched for the best prices and the best quality merchandize and kind of married them together.
People are just not cognitive of what can still be purchased, many think that survival is out of financial reach, which it is certainly not.

With one thin $100 bill, where I live now, someone can purchase one of the following 100 listed survival items at local stores or online.

There is currently no sales tax on food in this state, which was factored into the costs. Just look at how much and the really neat survival things that a thin piece of cloth that is a little over 6 inches wide and a little over 2 and 1/2 inches tall can still buy of each thing that will be a lot of value to most everyone.

The following list is meant to illustrate that to start prepping does not have to take lots of money. For $100 you may be surprised what you can get.
