"Surviving Argentinas Economic Collapse" was a great read about this very thing.

There was this guy, back in the day 15 years ago or so, who used to post a lot on a board I owned ... went by the name Ferfal. He used to tell some good stories, real time, about what was going on down there.

We ended-up having to perma ban him for something or other ... I had forgotten about him until just now. But he posted from the middle of it all and his IP checked out at the time - the place has been a mess for a long long time.

Lessons learned:

Have firearms, several, lots of ammo and a place to stash them separately.

Have a lot of backup food and a way to get fresh water.

Have things you can barter and, maybe, a few precious metals, gold chains you can cut up into pieces, etc.

Have some First Aid stuff set aside, and a way to handle dental emergencies as well.

Lay low, get out of the cities and avoid everyone if possible.

Forget about keeping a nice car ... someone will either Jack it from you or you will not find gas or something will break down and it'll be unfixable.

Seeds for a garden were/are a big item.
