wonder how many have any cash/gold/silver on hand should things really get bad...
I would like to have a stash of precious metals. Especially as a way of preserving any extra wealth I might have after life sustaining prep needs are met.
But food, garden seeds, tools (including guns), ammo, clothing and equipment, toilet paper, etc. come first.
These items can not only meet our own needs, but their intrinsic value can make them better than money or gold in a serious SHTF scenario.
I think of the relative value to a hungry family of the last 50 pounds of beans as compared to 50 pounds of gold.
