Life during Argentina's collapse

Post by CynicalSurvival »

A very interesting account of life during Argentina's economic collapse in the early 2000s - (apologies if posted elsewhere)

He has written a book on the subject too, I have it, it's not bad. It was useful in one dodgy situation when I didn't like the proposed buyers of a car I was flogging, spidey sense was tingling and I remembered some of his advice on trading and cash deals.

He has since moved to Northern Ireland as it's calmer than Argentina.

I'd be interested to read that. I found this a better read than most things on prepping per se.

The point about body armour was a very useful one!

I'd offer you my copy but I need it. You can order it through his website, just google Ferfal.
