Hi.
Imho, it is a good idea to develop a relationship with a dealer in coinage, gold, silver and other types of assets.
Purchase in cash, in increments of less than $10k.
Also be armed.
Have a safety deposit box, or and the ability to secure the assets “locally.”
Enjoy.

There could be at least a couple of variants of “locally.”
* a large safe
* a heater duct
* a decoy can safe
* pvc garden tube

Should one even put money in a large safe at all? I am thinking about an armed robbery and hostage situation. the large safe is going to be one of the first places to get ransacked if one is not in control of the situation. Maybe leave some small bills in the big safe to keep armed robbers satisfied that they have found the real stash. (But what to do with all the hardware?) (so i only keep my ammo hoard in the big safe, lol)
I like the heater duct solution. It is old school but requires people to know where to look and at least adds an element of delay. However, will it harm the coins to keep them in a relatively hot environment? I like the plastic rolls. I do not want the plastic to interact with the metal.
A decoy can safe seems very safe, but only until TSHTF. After TSHTF, a decoy can safe does not seem safe to me, since people will generally be on the hunt for canned food.
A PVC garden seems safe from everyone except for government types sweeping for guns with a metal detector. I am not sure what would happen in that case but it seems uber-apocalyptic, so maybe it is OK. Along this line of reasoning, I do not like moisture. I wonder if there is some simple yet semi advanced means of double PVC storage, say on a hillside, in which the PVC is slanted in the up direction with the up side permanently sealed. Inside the large tube can be several smaller tubes, each also permanently sealed at one end. Inside the smaller tubes can be wrapped in plastic along with humidity pellets, your coins, hardware, ammo, whatever. Or would that be uber-overkill?
(any other variants?)
