Amazing thread over there. Working my way through it. Confirms what I have thought for a long time. Gold is basically worthless when the SHTF. Tobacco, coffee, booze is much better. Some good other ideas—lighters, fuel, containers, etc. Soap.

Gold will be amazingly useful in buying passage out of the country for my family so they can get to my FARM in what should be a stable country... and for whatever they might need when they arrive.
I had a Vietnamese GF years ago ,, her family escaped to Thailand/Philippines/USA due to a small gold stash after their father (S. Vietnamese army officer) was murdered. There will always be a need for compact , transportable universal currency.
With that said I think having a STILL would be ideal... along with a few pallets of peanut butter.
