As stated earlier on this and other threads, bullion, be it platinum, gold or silver is NOT to barter with but to preserve a minimum of wealth for meeting needs “after” a recovery is established etc .......not during. Thus 50% to 70% of ones total wealth can be bullion for that reason alone. It is best stable option for fiscal security us bottom feeders have in peace time IMO.

2 rounds of 12 ga will get you dinner...traded or not if it’s a criminal per se. Small bottle of aspirin, some AA batteries, a solar yard light, matches or small bic lighter, box of .22 long rifle etc and stuff you mention will be worth more than gold during really bad times such as our parents and grandparents experienced in depression era.........

Of course “barter” is done only with trusted sorts or under secure conditions as my tag line will be key in such times of duress.

If such a “event” occurs we intend to be the most invisible folks on the planet. We will not transmit on our radios we will listen . We sleep during the day in shifts and stay awake all night on watch. We won’t bug out because we did that 15 years ago when we carefully selected our home .

We’re there........:o)

Me 2! My mailbox is three miles down the road, and you probably can't find me, even with directions. I just love WV. My road is dirt and gravel, but which keeps most others away. My "neighbors share our "WV privacy" attitude...

Spot helps keep me alert, and S&W, et al, make me safer. I have solar powered cameras arranged around the property. I can see the deer, and anything not so dear! I have dirt on top of the house, and steel roll-up doors covering all openings. I did that for when I'm gone, but it will work great with me here! I did leave some slits. My cameras feed me the necessary info.

IMHO, TSwillHTF. It's just not clear when! My neighbors are kinda like this guy! Sophistication is realized in many ways!
