Survival Skills: Making Gunpowder, hold cash, saving money, Crypto Currency

Gunpowder
This is a good instruction on making your own.  I learned it as a kid but of course haven't found the need or desire to make it since then.  The idea that you can hold the precursor components and make it as needed seems nice, but in truth I'd rather store reloading components and develop that skill.

Hold Cash First
Cash, food, water, weapons and ammo, precious metals.

Saving Money on Prepping Gear
Buy second hand or re-purpose items such as clothing.  Buy at online auction sites, gun shows, flea markets, and dollar type stores for simple items like chemical light sticks.  You can often find these things for one third the price at a discount location.
