Will reserve cash be worth anything if things collapse? And will gold or silver be worth anything if eating and fighting off starving looters are the most important considerations of the day?

It depends on how bad it gets.

“if things collapse”

It’ll get bad if that happens. Be very prepared.

Probably not, but ammunition will be worth a lot.

[Marcella]

You pretend to be as bad off as everyone else so no one will know what you have.

At first gold and silver will be pretty much useless. As the sitation stabilizes at a much lower level, as people get used to it, gold and silver will become useful. For a very short initial period i imagine cash will be good but the value of it will decline to nothing pretty quickly.
