What Is A TFAK?

---

TFAK stands for Trauma First Aid Kit.

In the past, we’ve shown you how to build your own survival medical kit and IFAK kits. But a TFAK is in a league of its own. It houses essential lifesaving emergency gear that the other kits don’t.

And it has a particular purpose; traumatic injury rescue.

And in an actual life-threatening accident, you need critical trauma supplies all in one pack.

I pray you never have to see a mortal wound where someone’s life hangs in the balance. But if you do, you gotta be able to respond with precise and proper trauma gear.

THAT’s what a TFAK is all about.

Who Should Carry A TFAK?

---

Everyone should have a basic first aid kit in their homes and cars. That’s a no-brainer. We all need the proper supplies to respond to injuries.

But Gramma doesn’t need a First Aid Trauma Kit when going to Bingo!

So who does need one?

Paramedics

These professionals provide emergency medical services and are first responders to accidents. They need the right gear on them to save lives.

Military Personnel

TFAKs are essential gear for all active-duty soldiers facing real-life combat situations.

Police Officers

Our police and peace officers are in the line of fire and need lifesaving equipment. Everything from knife and gunshot injuries to near-fatal car accidents.

Hunters

While you are usually the predator, you may also become the prey and need emergency medical gear.

Hikers / Climbers / Mountain Bikers

Hiking is dangerous, and devastating falls do happen. You need to be able to keep someone alive until help arrives.

Preppers

As a prepper, you want the best set-up for survival, and a trauma first aid kit has everything you need.

Gun Enthusiasts

Accidents occur, and a bullet wound is a serious injury.

Campers / RVers

When you get the whole family out in the backcountry camping, you must prepare for the worst case.

Homesteaders

A severe injury can turn deadly FAST when you live in remote acreage. And you can’t just call an ambulance.

Instead, you need to prevent the loss of life until you can get to a hospital.

Anyone who’s at high risk for serious injury, especially without the ability to get immediate professional help, must carry a TFAK! It’s called being a responsible adult, so no excuses.

Basic First Aid Kit vs. TFAK

---

Trust me, you never want to be under-prepared for a crisis.

And while a basic first aid kit is better than nothing. It’s not enough when someone suffers a mortal injury.

Here’s the difference between basic and TFAK kits:

Basic IFAK – Individual First Aid Kit for Minor Injuries

This first aid kit is for basic, superficial wounds like minor cuts and scrapes. Medical situations where no hospital visit is required.

It has the bare minimum medical supplies and is very compact and lightweight.

Most people have one around the house for non-life-threatening injuries.

TFAK – First Aid Kit for Traumatic Injuries

A trauma kit is designed to house lifesaving gear for significant injuries. So you can keep someone alive while medical professionals are on route.

It’s streamlined with essential gear specific to deal with severe wounds. This is to stop impending death and quickly get the casualty to the hospital.

What Medical Gear Goes Into A TFAK

---

Now you know what a TFAK is and why you need one. Let’s go over what’s in an TFAK that makes it stand above the rest?

A TFAK allows you to treat trauma-specific problems like:

• Hemorrhaging
• Burns
• Airway obstruction
• Fractures
• Hypothermia
• Punctures

Thus, the specific medical gear needed is as follows:

Tourniquets

Tourniquets are a tool that prevents bleeding by cutting off circulation.

Chest Seals

You need an occlusive seal for punctures of the chest.

Pressure Bandages

Used to control bleeding and encourage clotting.

EMT Shears

You need to be able to cut through clothing quickly.

Antibiotic Ointment

Helps prevent infection and speeds up healing.

Compact Gauze

This is vital for packing a large wound to stop bleeding.

Nasal Pharyngeal Airway

Used when a person is unconscious and needs a clear airway.

Thermal Blanket

Mylar blankets are ideal to prevent hypothermia in a crisis situation.

All these items are the bare minimum.

Most people buy an advanced first aid trauma kit that includes these critical items. Or they custom design their own based on their projected situation.

Now, let’s cover some of the best TFAKs on the market today.

First aid kits come in different shapes, sizes, and prices. They are available as pre-packaged kits designed for specific purposes, such as for the home, pets, auto, camping, boating, golfing, welding, landscaping, trucking, logging, burn care, bloodborne pathogen, emergency response, industrial, commercial and etc.

You can also elect to make your own, although this may work out to be more expensive and time-consuming as each item is purchased individually.

The important part of any first aid kit is that it suits you and your lifestyle or workplace.

RELATED: What is an Emergency Kit

First Aid Kit Contents

Before deciding the contents of your first aid kit, list out all activities you commonly participate in. Do you go camping? Do you or any member of your family play contact sports?

Are you on the road a lot? Is it for industrial use? How many people is the first aid kit for? It is very important that the first aid kit contents match up to your lifestyle or your workplace environment.

Once you have a basic idea of where a first aid kit will come in handy, you can start planning the contents of your kit.

Many first aid kits attempt to sell a kit comprised of a box of adhesive bandages and a few tablets. How many different types of injuries will this kit treat? Not very many!

Don’t be fooled by the number of components, look for a variety of components! The idea is to include components for real-life emergencies, not what might let the kit sell for a few dollars less.

Any first aid kit should contain at least something from the following groups:
Antiseptics (something to kill germs to prevent infection), Injury treatment (items to deal with injuries such as butterfly closures and cold compresses), Bandages (a variety of bandages to dress and cover a variety of wounds), Instruments (tweezers, barrier gloves), and Medicines.

For example, basic first aid kits, or starter kits, should consist of the following items:

• A first aid manual
•  Tweezers
• Sharp scissors
• Splinter Remover
• Thermometer
• Safety Pins
• Elastic Gauze (conforming bandages)
• Sterile Gauze
• Adhesive bandages in assorted shapes and sizes
• Triangular bandage
• First aid tape
• Antiseptic Ointment
• Calamine Lotion
• Antiseptic Wipes
• Alcohol Wipes
• Cotton tipped applicators
• Aspirin and Ibuprofen Tablets
• Vinyl or latex gloves
• Resuscitation Face Shield
• Anti-Inflammatory Cream
• Sodium Chloride Solution
• Sterile eye pad
• Your prescription medications

What you keep the contents in is up to you. Nowadays, first aid kits come in plastic cases, metal cases, or durable soft-pack. The type you choose is dependent on the purpose of the kit and where it will be stored.

First Aid Kit Supplies and Refills

Finding supplies and restocking your first aid kit is not always easy. Drug stores often carry a limited number of lines, and the prices on individual items are rather expensive.

First aid kit supplies can be found online, however, and the range is enormous. You can build your kit to your heart’s content, and there are plenty more items to choose from, usually at better pricing.

Buying first aid supplies online is especially useful for restocking industrial first aid kits. When you need to order in quantity, yet varying amounts of each item, online shopping is great. You can order select specific quantities of each product, and have them delivered right to the site.

For the home user, a drug store is probably best for topping up small easy to find items. If you do need to order harder to find products or buy a few items at a time, online shopping may be an option

Where to Buy First Aid Kits Online

Online shopping has progressed a long way in recent years, especially with items that are normally difficult to find or are overpriced in the stores.

First aid kits are one of the items that the internet has done wonders for. There is a huge selection of first aid kits online, ranging from the most comprehensive industrial and emergency first response kits to the lighter than light kids travel kits.

This kind of range would never be available to the public so readily if it weren’t for online shopping. Not only is there a huge range, but it’s usually at prices below retail, and delivered directly to your door.

Rather than putting off the notion of buying a first aid kit, you now have little to no excuse, as they are only a few clicks away.

If you are ready to buy first aid kits online, Yahoo! maintains a directory of online stores offering first aid products, as does DMOZ. You can also try Googling or an online store like FirstAidKitCentre.com. If you are still a little skeptical of online shopping, try a local drug store, or perhaps a local red cross chapter.

Learn First Aid

The other essential ingredient that should accompany all first aid kits is people who know how to use it. At a bare minimum, you should be familiar with basic first aid techniques.

Accidents, disasters, and emergencies can happen anywhere; at work, home, or play. You may be the person thrust into the firing line when something happens, and you should be prepared.

There may be a lengthy delay before medical response due to location, adverse conditions, or lack of communications. At a time like this it is up to you to commence first aid or CPR, and your knowledge, or lack thereof, may affect the outcome.

A first aid manual is also a handy addition and can fill in the blanks for those more obscure times.

If you have children, it is your role to protect them and aid them when needed. Techniques used on kids are different from those of adults, and you should take the time to learn more about this type of first aid.

Where to Learn First Aid?

The American Red Cross runs first aid, CPR, and external defibrillator courses designed for the home, workplace, and professional rescuers. Courses are offered throughout the country, and internationally through local red cross chapters.

There are also a great number of First Aid Manuals. Having a first aid manual on hand can be just as important as first aid supplies.

It is difficult for us to remember what to do in each and every emergency situation, and unless you are using your first aid skills day in, day out, it’s easy to forget everything you have learned.

Many first aid kits come stocked with first aid manuals. If you haven’t yet bought a kit, try to find one that also includes a guide.

If you already have a kit, there are a number of options available. Next time you stock up on first aid supplies add a first aid manual to your shopping list.

Amazon.com offers a huge range of first aid manuals (and first aid kits), so next time you’re picking up a few books, CDs, DVDs, or anything else from Amazon, place a first aid manual in your shopping basket as well

Please read this article very carefully, because it contains very important information that is going to affect you and your family.  In fact, it is going to affect every man, woman and child on the face of the planet.  For the past couple of years, I have been specifically warning that a major global food crisis was coming.  In fact, in recent months I have been writing about this multiple times per week.  At first, I think that a lot of people out there thought that I was exaggerating, but at this point the reality that we are heading into a major global food crisis has become undeniable.  In fact, Joe Biden just told a press conference in Brussels that worldwide food shortages are “going to be real”…

President Joe Biden said that the world will experience food shortages as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and production increases were a subject of discussions at a Group of Seven meeting on Thursday.

“It’s going to be real,” Biden said at a news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”

And Biden is definitely not alone.

If you can believe it, things are already so serious in France that the government is actually considering implementing a food voucher system…

French President Emmanuel Macron said his government is considering food vouchers to help middle and low-income families afford to eat, calling the problem a “worldwide food crisis.”

“I want to put in place a food voucher [system] to help the most modest households and the middle class facing these additional costs,” Macron said in an interview with France Bleu radio on Tuesday.

Wow.

I was floored when I read that.

People need to understand that this is not a game.

One of the biggest reasons why the outlook for the months ahead is so grim is due to the soaring cost of fertilizer.  The American Farm Bureau Federation is telling us that in some cases the price of fertilizer has risen 300 percent…

Fertilizer is a necessity for farmers, allowing them to achieve the high yields needed to meet demand and keep their operations afloat. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, fertilizer costs have risen as much as 300% in some areas — adding significant pressure to farmers’ pocketbooks.

As global energy prices continue to go higher, so will the price of fertilizer.

And now the war in Ukraine threatens to make things even worse, because Russia is such a key exporter of various fertilizers…

In 2021, Russia was the world’s top exporter of nitrogen fertilizers and the second-largest supplier of both potassic and phosphorous fertilizers, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.

Most Americans don’t understand that when we sanction other nations such as Russia we are also sanctioning ourselves.

We have unwisely become very dependent on the rest of the world for so many things, and that puts us in a very vulnerable position.

For the foreseeable future, the price of fertilizer is going to be incredibly high.  As a result, farmers all over the globe will be using less fertilizer, and this will result in reduced agricultural production.

In other words, a lot less food will be grown.

And in some instances, farmers that are still willing to pay for fertilizer are not able to get it.  In fact, in certain cases that is now even happening in the United States…

Corn and soybean farmer Jon Bakehouse faces a daunting question. In years past, he’s never had to ask for what he could get or what he could apply to his crops within the usual agriculture system. But now, the situation has completely shifted.

“For the first time, we’re talking about ‘it’s simply not available, fertilizer is simply not available, some chemicals are simply not available.’ For the first time, you kind of recognize you’re standing on a three-legged stool with one of the legs starting to weaken,” Bakehouse said.

In all my years, I have never heard of a corn farmer in Iowa being unable to buy fertilizer.

But here we are.

And Bakehouse is admitting that a lack of fertilizer would really impact the amount of corn that he is able to produce this year…

“If, for instance, we were only able to get half of our fertilizer needs, it would cut into the corn yields substantially, probably at least 30%, perhaps higher depending on the year,” Bakehouse said.

That is very alarming to hear.

Sadly, there are millions upon millions of other farmers all over the world that are being faced with incredibly difficult choices right now…

The pivot can be seen in agricultural powerhouse Brazil, where some farmers are applying less fertilizer to their corn, and some federal legislators are pushing to open protected indigenous lands for the mining of potash. In Zimbabwe and Kenya, small farmers are reverting to using manure to nourish their crops. In Canada, one canola farmer has already stockpiled fertilizer for the 2023 season in anticipation of even higher prices ahead.

Meanwhile, there are other major disasters that are also threatening food production.

The new bird flu pandemic that erupted inside the United States in February continues to escalate.  In fact, we just learned that more than half a million broiler chickens in Nebraska will have to be put down…

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) announced on Tuesday that it has confirmed a case of the highly contagious bird flu in a commercial flock of 570,000 broiler chickens and that the birds will be “humanely depopulated and disposed of.”

NDA, in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), said in a press release the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was confirmed in a chicken flock in Butler County, Neb.

Overall, more than 12 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S. have already died as a result of this horrifying outbreak.

Needless to say, that will drive up the price of meat to even higher levels.

On the other side of the world, colossal swarms of locusts are devouring crops in Africa once again this year.

This time around, it is South Africa that is being hit the hardest…

Farmers in the Northern Cape, Western Cape and Eastern Cape Karoo are struggling to control the locust swarms that have damaged and consumed thousands of hectares of grazing land.

According to Agri SA, this is one of the biggest locust swarms in years and, with the assistance of donors and the Department of Agriculture, farmers are trying everything to save their land and food.

There is so much more that I could say about the global food crisis, but I will stop there for today.

The head of the UN World Food Program has said that this is the worst global food crisis that we have seen since World War II, and I very much agree with him.

But even though global leaders are now admitting that things are going to get really bad, most people in the western world still seem to think that everything is going to work out just fine somehow.

Why EVERYONE Needs A Portable Jump Starter

Even in normal times, a dead vehicle battery is a massive inconvenience.

Sure, no one’s going to die, but you might be late to an important meeting. Or you may have to postpone a weekend getaway you’ve been planning for weeks.

BUT in a real emergency, you can’t afford a dead vehicle battery. The outcome quickly moves out of the “inconvenience” bucket to more severe results.

Perhaps it amounts to:

• Being stranded in the mountains during a blizzard
• Getting stuck when a fast-moving wildfire is approaching
• Having a buddy fall in the wilderness and can’t get them to help fast enough
• Or perhaps it undermines your bug out plan (this is a survival and preparedness site!)

The bottom line is this:

Every responsible adult MUST invest in a powerful backup to get your vehicle started. Why? Because there may not be any other car around to jump-start your battery in a crisis.

If you own a vehicle, it’s irresponsible not to invest in a way to jump it in a pinch.

You need your own portable jump starter.

And portable jump starters have come a LONG way over the years. In the past, you had to carry large, clunky power stations or thick jumper cables.

But those units were cumbersome to store, and jumper cables required a second vehicle to use.

Nowadays, innovation in battery technology and portable power has eliminated these problems. And as you’ll learn shortly, the safety of these devices has skyrocketed as well.

What’s a PORTABLE Jump Starter

First, what is a portable jump starter?

It’s a compact battery pack that’s powerful enough to boost a dead vehicle’s battery.

Now, you can get them with a host of other features like:

• USB ports
• LED lights
• Radio
• Plug-ins

But those features are just icing on an essential survival cake. The jumper should be your primary focus.

Ok, so you went out and bought one. Awesome. Now what?

How To Use Portable Car Jump Starter

The good news is, with portable jump starters, you don’t need a mechanical engineering degree to use one. Unlike older intimidating portable jump starters, nowadays, they’re convenient, safe, and simple to use.

But each unit has unique instructions. So while they’re all very easy, they are not universal.

However, with that said, below are the general set of instructions for MOST portable jump starters today:

Here’s how:

1. Turn Off Vehicle And Any Power Draining Accessories

A portable vehicle charger is designed to give you full voltage in the first few attempts. Then it will, unfortunately, decrease in power.

You need to make sure the first jumps count, so take the keys out of your vehicle.

2. Connect The Jumper Cables

Your Portable Jump Starter has two cables coming out of it with alligator clamps. These clamps allow for a secure connection to your battery posts.

Make sure you make the proper connections. Red clamp to positive and black clamp to negative.

3. Turn On The Portable Jump Starter

Always turn on the jumper starter unit first. This will send the flow of electricity to your battery so your vehicle can use it.

Give it a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start your vehicle.

Note: Some portable jump starters use a sequence of beeps to signal when it’s ready to “start your vehicle”.

4. Then Start Your Vehicle

Once ready, turn the key over for about 5 seconds max. The portable jump starter will send a short burst of electricity. And most of the time, this will allow enough power to turn your engine’s starter.

But, if it doesn’t within 5 seconds, stop.

Try again if needed until it starts. But each successive failed attempt will reduce your chances of a successful jump.

This is why it’s critical to KEEP your portable jump starter full of juice at all times…

How to Charge A Portable Jump Starter

Your portable jump starter is there for when you need it, but it is only as good as the power charged in its battery.

When you buy your jump starter, it may have some charge, but you don’t want to take any chances.

Take it out of the box and plug it in until it reads fully charged.

There will be a power adapter to plug into any standard outlet. Once charged, you are good to go.

Put it back in the box and into your trunk or lockbox in your vehicle. The box will protect it from getting bumped around and stack well with your other gear.

At least once a month (or more often), make sure it still has a full charge, so you never get stuck without juice.

And if you use it to charge a phone or small electronic device in a pinch, make sure to top it back up the next chance you get.

Sure, it’s a nice feature to use some of the portable power for convenience. But NEVER let convenience undermine the REAL reason you’ve invested in it!

Can I Use A Portable Jump Starter On My Motorcycle?

Yes. You can use your portable jump starter on a motorcycle. Even a motorcycle that’s been sitting for a while,

All motorcycle batteries are 12 volts, just like your car or truck. And your portable jump starter is also a 12-volt system.

Jump starting your motorbike is safer this way, too, because its battery is smaller. AND trying to jump it from a car or truck may damage the electrical system or battery.

It’s easy to use and pretty affordable as well.

Now you can see how versatile a portable jump starter is and why you need one. It’s a great emergency tool for your car, truck, motorcycle, as well as ATVs and snowmobiles.

Now, maybe you don’t have a portable jump starter yet. That’s ok; we’re going to show you the best ones on the market today.

Why EVERYONE Needs A Portable Jump Starter

Even in normal times, a dead vehicle battery is a massive inconvenience.

Sure, no one’s going to die, but you might be late to an important meeting. Or you may have to postpone a weekend getaway you’ve been planning for weeks.

BUT in a real emergency, you can’t afford a dead vehicle battery. The outcome quickly moves out of the “inconvenience” bucket to more severe results.

Perhaps it amounts to:

• Being stranded in the mountains during a blizzard
• Getting stuck when a fast-moving wildfire is approaching
• Having a buddy fall in the wilderness and can’t get them to help fast enough
• Or perhaps it undermines your bug out plan (this is a survival and preparedness site!)

The bottom line is this:

Every responsible adult MUST invest in a powerful backup to get your vehicle started. Why? Because there may not be any other car around to jump-start your battery in a crisis.

If you own a vehicle, it’s irresponsible not to invest in a way to jump it in a pinch.

You need your own portable jump starter.

And portable jump starters have come a LONG way over the years. In the past, you had to carry large, clunky power stations or thick jumper cables.

But those units were cumbersome to store, and jumper cables required a second vehicle to use.

Nowadays, innovation in battery technology and portable power has eliminated these problems. And as you’ll learn shortly, the safety of these devices has skyrocketed as well.

What’s a PORTABLE Jump Starter

First, what is a portable jump starter?

It’s a compact battery pack that’s powerful enough to boost a dead vehicle’s battery.

Now, you can get them with a host of other features like:

• USB ports
• LED lights
• Radio
• Plug-ins

But those features are just icing on an essential survival cake. The jumper should be your primary focus.

Ok, so you went out and bought one. Awesome. Now what?

How To Use Portable Car Jump Starter

The good news is, with portable jump starters, you don’t need a mechanical engineering degree to use one. Unlike older intimidating portable jump starters, nowadays, they’re convenient, safe, and simple to use.

But each unit has unique instructions. So while they’re all very easy, they are not universal.

However, with that said, below are the general set of instructions for MOST portable jump starters today:

Here’s how:

1. Turn Off Vehicle And Any Power Draining Accessories

A portable vehicle charger is designed to give you full voltage in the first few attempts. Then it will, unfortunately, decrease in power.

You need to make sure the first jumps count, so take the keys out of your vehicle.

2. Connect The Jumper Cables

Your Portable Jump Starter has two cables coming out of it with alligator clamps. These clamps allow for a secure connection to your battery posts.

Make sure you make the proper connections. Red clamp to positive and black clamp to negative.

3. Turn On The Portable Jump Starter

Always turn on the jumper starter unit first. This will send the flow of electricity to your battery so your vehicle can use it.

Give it a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start your vehicle.

Note: Some portable jump starters use a sequence of beeps to signal when it’s ready to “start your vehicle”.

4. Then Start Your Vehicle

Once ready, turn the key over for about 5 seconds max. The portable jump starter will send a short burst of electricity. And most of the time, this will allow enough power to turn your engine’s starter.

But, if it doesn’t within 5 seconds, stop.

Try again if needed until it starts. But each successive failed attempt will reduce your chances of a successful jump.

This is why it’s critical to KEEP your portable jump starter full of juice at all times…

How to Charge A Portable Jump Starter

Your portable jump starter is there for when you need it, but it is only as good as the power charged in its battery.

When you buy your jump starter, it may have some charge, but you don’t want to take any chances.

Take it out of the box and plug it in until it reads fully charged.

There will be a power adapter to plug into any standard outlet. Once charged, you are good to go.

Put it back in the box and into your trunk or lockbox in your vehicle. The box will protect it from getting bumped around and stack well with your other gear.

At least once a month (or more often), make sure it still has a full charge, so you never get stuck without juice.

And if you use it to charge a phone or small electronic device in a pinch, make sure to top it back up the next chance you get.

Sure, it’s a nice feature to use some of the portable power for convenience. But NEVER let convenience undermine the REAL reason you’ve invested in it!

The post How To Use A Portable Jump Starter (& Best Ones For Survival) appeared first on Skilled Survival.

Memories of the very painful recession of 2020 are still quite fresh, and now we are being warned to brace ourselves for the possibility of yet another recession in 2022.  Unfortunately, a lot of things are going wrong all at the same time.  The Federal Reserve and other global central banks are likely to continue to raise interest rates in an attempt to bring inflation down, a major war has erupted on the other side of the globe, and we are simultaneously facing an epic global energy crisis and an epic global food crisis.  The Biden administration had been promising us that better days were ahead, but instead it appears that a tremendous amount of economic trouble is on the horizon.

If you don’t want to take my word for it, perhaps you will believe Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi…

The risks of recession have risen quite considerably… With Russia invading Ukraine, the spike in oil and other commodity prices, inflation expectations have taken off here and the Federal Reserve, as we could see from [Jerome] Powell’s speech yesterday is now on high alert.

That certainly doesn’t sound good.

And legendary investor Carl Icahn just told CNBC that he believes that what we are heading into could be “a recession or even worse”…

Famed investor Carl Icahn said Tuesday an economic downturn could be on the horizon and he is loaded on protection against a steep sell-off in the market.

“I think there could very well could be a recession or even worse,” Icahn said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell Overtime” to Scott Wapner. “I have kept everything hedged for the last few years. We have a strong hedge on against the long positions and we try to be activist to get that edge… I am negative as you can hear. Short term I don’t even predict.”

The Federal Reserve flooded the system with trillions of fresh dollars to help pull us out of the last recession, and that is one of the factors that has created a tsunami of inflation.

Now the Fed is under pressure to get inflation under control, but at the same time the U.S. economy is slowing down once again.  CNBC’s Jim Cramer is convinced that Fed chief Jerome Powell has been “dealt an insanely bad hand”…

“Powell’s been dealt an insanely bad hand. So of course he’s fallen behind. Hence why he’s said that the Fed will move with alacrity from here on out,” the “Mad Money” host said. “So feel free to blame him for not seeing what was coming. If he has to do a [50 basis point interest rate hike], he will.”

“Never forget that Powell’s been asked to do the impossible here: Figure out how fast to raise interest rates when so many things should be slowing the economy and cooling inflation naturally, yet nothing has worked out the way we expected,” he added.

Perhaps Powell is holding a bad hand.

But to a very large degree it is a hand of his own making.

The Fed has gone absolutely nuts over the past two years, and now we are feeling the consequences on a daily basis.  For example, on Tuesday the average price of a gallon of gasoline in Los Angeles crossed the six dollar threshold…

Los Angeles on Tuesday became the first major city in the U.S. to reach an average gas price of $6 or more.

As the price of gasoline shoots higher, criminals are increasingly drilling into gas tanks in order to steal fuel.  Here is an example from Ohio that I came across earlier today…

The site user wrote: “My friend went to get into his work truck this morning and found that someone drilled a hole in the gas tank and stole all of his gas.”

Commenters suggested that the thieves drilled the plastic tank because he had a tamper-proof fuel cap.

The man could be left with a bill of $2000 to $4000 to replace the tank.

The price of food continues to surge higher as well.  Fertilizer prices have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled in price, and this is pushing food prices up to stunning levels all over the planet.

But the good news is that the elite are alarmed by what is happening and they want us to know that they are here to help.  In fact, an economics professor that is affiliated with the World Economic Forum has some practical advice for you…

To deal with gas prices, it’s worth reconsidering public transportation if it’s an option where you live. Fares are up about 8% compared with 38% for gasoline. Now may even be the time to sell your car. It certainly isn’t the time to buy a new or used one. Prices have stabilized a bit, but used-car prices are still up more than 40% from a year ago, and new ones are up 12%.

When it comes to food, don’t be afraid to explore. Prices for animal-based food products will certainly increase. Ukraine and Russia supply a significant amount of corn and barley to the world market, mainly to feed livestock for human food. Meat prices have increased about 14% from February 2021 and will go up even more. Though your palate may not be used to it, tasty meat substitutes include vegetables (where prices are up a little over 4%, or lentils and beans, which are up about 9%). Plan to cut out the middle creature and consume plants directly. It’s a more efficient, healthier and cheaper way to get calories.

You don’t really need a car, do you?

And you don’t really need to eat meat, do you?

Needless to say, the elite have no plans to alter their lifestyles.  They just want people like you and me to adjust how we live.

Unfortunately, many Americans will soon be forced to make major changes because we are moving into very rough times.

We will be quite fortunate if a “recession” is all that we have to deal with for the rest of 2022, because it certainly wouldn’t take too much to push us into a full-blown depression.

Things are going haywire all around us, and each new day seems to bring even more bad news.  We truly are in a “perfect storm”, but most Americans still do not fully understand what is happening.
