Yeah, I spent a bit of effort pondering what I'd do if "society" goes under, anarchy, etc. I figure very little useful. The med kit would be of use for a time. I don't want to live in the mountains in some compound, and realistically, one would need a group of likeminded to survive long.
I also have thought for decades that inflation was about to go ballistic, hyper etc. I've lived through some pretty bad inflation, but it was mostly tamed. I find our "financial system" to be remarkable, not all in a good way. Anyway, I think owning a small bit of PMs is an OK thing.
