Your whole reply was belligerent and confused.

So ... you admit that if you can protect yourself (and your property) then money is important?

I made it perfectly clear that the chicken farm is defended. Did you miss that part?

Ah well: perhaps spending a month queuing up to buy chicken-meat with some dingy bottles of Jack Daniels will cure you of your uncomprehending bellicosity. You’ll be at the back of the queue, Maddog.

belligerent and confused? Nah.. I have my shxt together and will survive just fine. We simply have different views.

Money is important in a civilized society and how much you have puts you in a certain class with other folks who have the same but it doesn’t matter in an uncivilized society where everyone is dependent upon their skills not their worth.

As for property it’s where you are at the moment in a collapsed society because you own nothing. If you create something good others will want it.

Protecting a Chicken farm is one thing but bringing them to a market in a collapsed society is suicide. I thought I made that clear. People will kill for food and that would happen in a matter of a few weeks once the stores are empty.

Sit on your gold and have fun with the chickens. In some societies I hear they have dual purpose.

I’ll take a deer steak any day with a good brook trout, potatoes or carrots and some ice cold spring water where ever I’m at.

You are thinking in a civil manner when it comes to trade and gold. If we experience a real collapse soon, “precious metal” will become useless. I could get lots of gold for a simple bic lighter but that gold will be worthless to me so I will be trading for something else I can USE. I am certain you have read One Year In Hell; the author patently states “money” became worthless. No one is going to care about your gold but you. I think you are going to be very shocked when this goes down as their won’t be a “civilization” left to even consider what gold is worth at that point.
