Excuse me, but if there's an "Event", gold will be as tits on a boar hog useless as paper currency. Can't eat, shoot, or use gold to clean a wound.
"The Event".
Bullshit.
Quoting: Arkansas River Bard Work on your reading comprehension.
PHYSICAL GOODS will BE gold.
Its a metaphor equating physical goods to the value of gold.
Regardless, precious metals may not be useful in the short term after collapse, but once recovery starts, they will be very valuable.
Diversification is key.
Some fiat for immediately after, especially when the numbers in accounts become useless or non existent. Fiat will still be good briefly after the collapse and may even increase in value as physical cash will be scarce. As you should know, most US dollars are just numbers on computers. Digital illusions.
Survival assets.
Books, including survival, bush craft, homesteading for short and mid term but also agriculture, metallurgy, and other important societal skills for long term recovery are important.
Be prepared in all aspects of collapse, short, mid and long term for best results. Always hedge your bets and diversify.
