One problemo there, you can't KEEP either one of them if you don't invest in some other precious metals as well like:
Brass, Copper and Lead!
Stock up on plenty of the latter so you can keep the former!

The world’s most powerful investors have been advised to buy farmland, stock up on gold and prepare for a “dirty war” by Marc Faber, the notoriously bearish market pundit, who predicted the 1987 stock market crash.
The bleak warning of social and financial meltdown, delivered today in Tokyo at a gathering of 700 pension and sovereign wealth fund managers.
Dr Faber, who advised his audience to pull out of American stocks one week before the 1987 crash and was among a handful who predicted the more recent financial crisis, vies with the Nouriel Roubini, the economist, as a rival claimant for the nickname Dr Doom.
Speaking today, Dr Faber said that investors, who control billions of dollars of assets, should start considering the effects of more disruptive events than mere market volatility.
“The next war will be a dirty war,” he told fund managers: time frame.

Read his website and watched his Fox News interview with Bill Hemmer. Thanks for the tip...
Farmland? My grandfather was a farmer. I expect to keep busy
defending my small subdivision lot if things get that bad.
Hadn’t looked for his website.....thanks.
Could alway get a sailboat and fish for your dinner.
At least that way, you don’t have to worry much about looters, squatters, and vagrants... just pirates.
And a nice hardpoint and a 50-cal. will taken care of most, considering a modern pirate’s favorite weapon is an RPG. 50-cal. machine guns have a *FAR* greater range.
Heh, I’d post stuff similar to this on FR 2-3 years ago and get mostly responses saying I was a crackpot, gold nut, never happen, etc., etc.
Not a one, this time around.
A windmill and solar panels are the easiest ways to get off the grid.
If you’ve got property next to a creek or river, you could try with a waterwheel... except that a waterwheel is illegal if place on federal property.
There's a lot BOR doesn't get, such as, out much. Every time he does his lame schtick of treating this or that afro-kaffir race hustler - recidivist frauds like the dwarf Sharpton or the someone or other Lamont Phd, as a serious person, I dump the feed. In fact, the more fleeting become BOR's moments of linear, logical lucidity, the more ineluctable becomes the conclusion, menopause, bigtime.
1972 & 1973 I lived in a log cabin way up north in Wisconsin. It was a former pig barn that had been remodeled, lol. Hand pump at the well, wood burning stove, kerosene lanterns and an outhouse out back. For sure, the better part of the day was doing things just for basic survival. Especially when you’d run out of wood in winter.
Well said. Farming is some of the hardest, most dangerous work around. First chance my uncle got, he ran off from the farm/ranch, flew B-17s over Germany: Better food, got to sleep in and kept all his fingers.
Buck bales of hay all day on your farm and see how you feel.
People who think they’re going to go back to the land remind me of `Oliver Wendell Douglas’ and the TV show `Green Acres’. Or hippies and their agri-communes where they slowly starved.
will we go hungry?
...not starved to death per se, but ya, hungry...no more full bellies. Look at old picutes of the real settlers and cowboy’s...not a fat one in the bunch, regular string beans. Work hard, look like golly-gee, and smell alot worse.
...ever drink brown water?
As long as women like shiny things and men like what women have, someone will buy it.
ROFLMAO!
They have water (water-mill) type generators if you’re near water. Wind is a bit unreliable unless you live on a plain. As you mentioned solar, and if you happen to have gas, a Capstone generator can give you power (I used to work for them.). ‘Course one can always attach one to an exercise bike! :-)
Government won’t be able to seize anything.

Lead’s a better investment.
