How much cash, gold or silver should one have on hand? Don't want to start a panic, Just want to be ready.

I've never quite understood this. Can you eat cash, gold or silver? Can you shoot an animal with it? Can you pump water from the ground with it? Could it repair your bicycle or other mode of transportation?

That shite is useless, without any real tangible value its just fiat. Fake money, for fake people, for a fake economy, for a fake world.

And this shite just got real.

So, leave all the fake shite behind.

Didn’t you watch the big short? Seeds are going to be the currency in the apocalypse. Buy seeds and buy now

Won't matter if people aren't willing to barter.

Guns and ammo are way more imports for the apocalypse. You can’t barter without security or the other party with the guns will just take your shite.

I had a gentleman I don't know tell me in the grocery store (normal shopping for myself) that his son works for the sheriffs department and we were going to be locked down. Soon.

I tried to explain that they will allow grocery store/pharmacy visits. He wasn't having any of it.

Oh well I tried.

Won't be worth shite if things get that bad.

Water and food will be more important. You think people panicked when the tp aisle was bare...

Would a gold Christmas ornament from the Perth mint count?

In a real disaster situation, nobody wants your useless precious metals. They have no tangible value.

Currency was created for men in good times. Desperate people can't afford such faith.

Could use more arse wipe and bread.

Water, I have a well. Meat, I can hunt off my place. Fish, I can catch out my pond. Good time to live in the country.

He was dead serious. I'm a wife/mother and I wasn't panicking. He kinda seemed to throw his hands up as if "oh well I tried" and I was the same but from a different line of thinking.
