Precious metals when the SHTF

[Great-Kazoo]

If SHTF, precious metals will be steel, lead, copper and brass. You want something you can really barter? Store good quality alcohol and pharmaceuticals, especially pain relievers and cold/flu medicines. People can get by without gold or silver but they'll sell you their children for some good whiskey when none is available or for Tylenol/ibuprofen when they have a splitting headache.

For those of us who have no plan to barter, screw them.

Basic example: decided to go shopping this morning. HEY I HAD a munchie for Chorizo. Juevos , chili verde and other item swere already on hand. NEEDED THAT CHORIZO. SO in to a packed grocery store, running the obstacle course of any and everyone who OMG no food or water STOCK UP late to the party folks. Or as we label them SHEEP / VICTIMS. Loaded carts of food, water, water, water. .
Me, chorizo in hand, in and out 10 min tops. 7 of them spent standing in the self check out line.

Back on Topic. reason i mentioned the store trip. Fuck the, WE NEED SUPPLIES NOW, WHEN THE SHELVES ARE EMPTY?? YOU NEVER WAIT TILL YOU RUN OUT OF GAS TO FILL UP, NEVER.
cept for when i forgot i had the petcock on reserve
