Have as much gold as you want as long as you also have shelter, water, food, way to grow food, security, warmth, cooling, power from some source, ways to cook, medical supplies, hygiene methods, etc..
If the idea is only have gold, in my opinion, that is a serious mistake. In any country that is at war FOR A YEAR or more, and there is little water and food, people are going to keep what water and food they have and not sell you any for gold because they have to keep what they have in order to keep living. To them, your gold has no value and if that war lasts 20 years and there is still little water and food, they still won’t sell you any water and food for gold because they still have to live. So, it is the circumstances that determines the value of gold.
If the SHTF in this country and there is little water and food, don’t come to my house because I don’t want your gold as my water and food is too valuable to sell you any. Plus, why would I want yours when I have my own? You see, it’s not an either or situation.
Women were selling their bodies to feed their children - not for precious metals. A can of beans bought you fifteen minutes with a woman.

Show me a time in 6000 years there wasn’t someone who didn’t have gold lust? There are many who would sell their country, their family and their God for a bit of it. There are those who standing in the middle of a desert would sell their last mouthful of water for it. There are those who would drown rather that to let it go and swim to save themselves. Lastly in most shtf except for a very lucky few gold gets most people killed. Many more who tried to purchase safety with their gold didn’t get it then did.
