This guy is so wrong I don’t where to start.

Land? Yeh farmland where you can grow something.
Cash? Uh no the dollar is dying.
Gold? Maybe some fractional coins but junk silver is better
Art? OK if you can eat it.

How about Food, ammo, medicine, booze, toilet paper and a water filter.

I'm with you on being prepared. A lot of the collapse will be the unaffordability or unavailability of a lot of things. Have the things necessary for survival, keep the house and surroundings in shape, be able to protect and take care of yourself. I figure that unless it's an end-of-civilization situation, cash will be worth at least something and at least some food will be available. I keep a two month supply of enough foods and beverages for survival.

I have plenty of house cleaning supplies, first aid/basic medical/hygiene supplies, basic clothes, bedding/towels (in case limited water supply makes doing the wash tough), 100 watt light bulbs, flashlights and batteries. These are all things that could be in short supply if there's panic or disruptions to delivery systems.

I'm wondering if some old silver dollars might be a good money choice. They're easy to store and carry and they have a defined value.

you say: “Land? Yeh farmland where you can grow something.”

the MOST essential. And you DO NOT need acres and acres - BUT - you DO need y our own well water and wood stove - and, ideally, a wood lot nearby, if not on house property.

Independence is spelled: Shelter/water/heat/garden - that is not dependent on off site entity.

Here’s what one guy does on 1/5th !! of an acre. (He makes a big mistake in being city water/sewer/heat. but this is incredible)

So if you have a lawn - you can do this - NOW

Tax breaks for farmland will disappear. The government will skyrocket property taxes as a means to confiscate the farmland through unpaid tax liens. Count on it.
