I mean physical, you-can-hold-it-in-your-hands-and-look-at-it, gold.

And that may be all it will be useful for...something shiney to look at and hold...but what will you be able to trade for food, clothing and shelter?

I’m into diversification, and that’s why I’m a huge fan of FerFal and especially his book “The Modern Survival Guide.”

If you have to flee, gold makes great “flight capital.” How much wealth in the form of ammo or canned food can you put into a daypack and carry over a border, or onto a Cessna?

I agree with FerFAL. Have them all. Guns, gold, food, ammo, dollars, euros, foreign real estate etc. “Diversify.” Don’t have all your eggs in one basket, or even different eggs in a basket that you can’t move if you need to scram in a hurry.
