I think some of the worse melt downs in society, shows the wisdom of being prepared.
But let me be totally blunt, if you are in an urban environment including the suburbs and you have things and your neighbors don't. They will gang together and take it from you.

I know you are joking/trolling about various upcoming apocalypse scenarios, but there is truth in your recommendation that the goldbugs seem to miss.
Especially about relative units (value of gold vs that of toilet paper, gallon of gas, etc).
I view ammo as a good hedge. Will maintain its value and it also has utility if nothing happens.
I have a bunch of german 7.62x51 that I wish I had bought 5x what I did. I expect ammo to go up with inflation or higher depending on demand, so its not going 5o get cheaper.
Quite right. I’m not a “prepper” and not a believer in looming apocalypses. But if we ever did enter some kind of lawlessness era, or even short-term societal hiccup, “relative value” becomes more important than absolute value. You can’t eat or shoot gold, but toilet paper, ammunition, and coffee will certainly be important components of even a collapsed society.
