Concur. It's even better to have visited a potential *safe haven* in advanced and stashed at least a minimal amount of at least some gold and local currency there pending your arrival. That avoids having to carry your *on arrival* gold with you, placing too many eggs in one obvious basket.
Oh: and buy some body armor or a concealable kevlar vest while you can still get them easily. Going shopping/foraging during an economic collapse will be extremely dangerous. You can get one for a couple hundred bucks, and a vest can be as important as your firearms. Why buy your tenth firearm before you even have purchased body armor? Get one now.
Again, I concur. I'd add in a pair of flashlights as well, at least one high-output *tactical light* and a slightly smaller inexpensive LED pocket light as a long run time backup that can be given or traded to a pickup ally.
I'm relatively happy with an armor crewman's kevlar vest as my day-to-day *working vest* but I'm under no illusions about its ineffectiveness against rifle fire. Accordingly, the *minimal* vest stays in place, and something a bit heavier goes over it, preferably under a field jacket or equivalkent.
In the event of an imposition of "emergency" measures....I predict a veritable avalanche of permanently disabled LEOs suffering from "work related" hip injuries.
