Only an idiot would think that

1. my gold and silver is/are not hidden, laying out in the open begging to be stolen
2. I would carry all of it on me
3. that my clan would be unarmed.

Geez neolithic people figured out barter 10,000 years ago, I think we'll get the hang of it

Well all I can do is base my judgement on my own experiences and those of others who have actually lived through real life shtf events. to me their experiences alone are worth more than gold or silver.
