Scott, unless you live near a pristine coastline, you had better stash a few tons of salt away. If society does indeed collapse in your lifetime, you will not be able to get this precious and necessary substance, not to mention black pepper, chocolate, coffee and depending on where you live, oranges, bananas and tea, etc. What we really need is some sort of locally accepted local currency that is not backed (or mismanaged) by the Federal government. Coins minted of precious metals have always been accepted worldwide by every culture until recently. So you might want to corner the market in silver too. Good luck to you. As for me, there are so many people around here toting guns and who have the attitude that they can take what they want, I doubt I would be able to hold on to much if it came
down to it.

Scott,
It's silly to try to debate this, as it's destined to be an endeavor of simply sharing opinions. But I must say, if you and your family are able to survive quite well on the exclusive efforts of your own gardening/hunter/gathering, you are a better man than I. My family and I produce quite a bit, even enough to sell some extra produce. Nonetheless, we are dependent on the grocery store, aka farmer, for quite a bit of our food staples. For us, to rely on our own hands for what we eat, would be a hardship of the most shocking proportions.
