If gold is worthless why bait a trap with it?
Just because I don’t fall for the trap doesn’t mean you won’t. In from your posts I say the odds are good you would fall for it or you would sit it. Tell me something if you are in the desert and you have one canteen of water and you know it would take two canteens to get you to the nearest water how much gold would you sell you water for? Tell me how many real shtf situations have you been in? As I said from the begining I rely on the advise and the experiences of those who have actually lived through shtf. How much gold do you think the Nazi took off the Jews when they were loading them in cattle cars. Think how different things would have been if they had brought some guns with their gold. They would have most likely still had died, but they would have died on their feet and not on their knees.
