I’d suggest a more shelf stable food supply, but you’re basically right. Of course, the question is what to do with savings after getting the “beans and bullets” squared away, not the false dilemma you pose.

Yes. I actually would rather invest in rich farmland at this point than in gold. At least I’ll know I can grow food. Of course, in an economic apocalypse you would have to have guns probably to protect what you grew.
