Projects ~ Tools & Ideas for things to make/sell:
These are plans and projects similar to those found on (but not included in) the Anti-Recession DVDs. We didn't see any point and having you purchase something that was already made available on the site for free. The titles these projects are extracted from are, or will be made, available in the "Rebuilding Civilization" files, as we rarely post a book or manual in it's entirety.

These are projects & suggestions for pinching pennies - but many of them could be converted into money-making enterprises! After implementing and perfecting the techniques yourself, you can hire out to do the same for (or teach) friends and neighbors!

American Made Products & Services ~ Viewer products & services:
SSRsi has created these pages for AMERICAN CITIZENS to advertise and sell their home-made, cottage industry goods and services to others – FREE OF CHARGE – provided that they are 100% AMERICAN MADE and/or serviced. All components must be AMERICAN MADE and all services provided must be provided (in total) by AMERICAN CITIZENS. No foreign nationals in employment. If you can meet this criteria, we will add your business, your product(s), or your services to the site in categorized pages by industry or service.

Exclusive pages will be available for a small, one time maintenance fee ($5-15 dollars, depending on how extensive the page might be) for creating and maintaining the page.

See the "Made In America" Section for non-viewer/generic products & services.

ScrubInk Since 1950, Rodger and Dalia’s family has been manufacturing in the garment center. They have shipped to large corporations, small businesses, and individuals with pride and care. From the onset of their careers, they have prided themselves in manufacturing every one of their quality garments solely in New York City…not many people can say that!
Lodge-Tech (Michigan) 100% Veg. Oil burning kitchen, camp, and survival stove, very safe to operate and store fuel, cost approx 30%-50% less for fuel, not designed for boiling large amount of water quickly, but is fantastic for steamers, and for cast iron cookware, even small Dutch ovens. It also doubles as CO2 generator/heater for greenhouses, (which we also make). It has been Patented and only available here at www.lodge-tech.net Also super strong Yurts, Geodesic Domes and a low cost Earth toilet

A New Idea on Survival Communities Most survival groups/communities fail in the first two years either because of the expense of maintaining the property or the inability to maintain a non-survival presence. This idea may solve these problems...
