Bob, I suggest you and the people you reference make a list of the  
things you would expect to buy. Then call vendors where you would make  
the purchases. Ask them if they will take gold instead of dollars.

I have no intention of carrying any of my preferred supplies. They are  
almost all in place at my preferred place to live--good times and bad.
