"Barter items may be better than cash. A 10# bag of loose SILVER coins, bags of coffee, sugar, or other staples, and of course, lead, are all needed items and can easily barter!

FYI, a few of the essentials I've accumulated are: Expedition tent, Grain Mill, Air rifle, Solar cell, packs, GPS, Maps, Best water filter Katadyn makes, axes, machete, knives, rechargeable batteries, camping essentials, 6 months food for now, silver coins, ready cash safely stashed, ammo for the big guns and still accumulating. :-)

Praying of course that it will not be needed except for recreation or normal use!

I have 1200 watts worth of PV cells on the RV. Rechatgable batteries are a MUST. I also bought two 50 packs of Bic lighters (10 free!), solar oven, and SEEDS! Deer and turkey around here will keep me in meat. Squirrel stew will be good for a while, but I've got neighbor's with 22's, too! I live on 20 acres, and neighbors have 20-200 acres. I planted a garden for the first time in 40 years. I also bought 240 mason jars at Wally world last week, with 1200 lids!

I've been praying,too, but putting feet to the prayers is prudent!

Exactly how much ready cash do you suggest we safely stash, anyway? Inquiring minds need to know.........
