another beauty of junk silver - portability to go where folks still have supplies to survive on and barter - or where there is water and garden space

So scout, how many wandering hungry people are you going to shoot before you run out of bullets?

I find the .223 to be quite miserly.

Don’t take what I said wrong.

All I’m saying is if nothing is available, the price is infinite.

With that said, I will say this. BEFORE nothing is available, the prices will skyrocket. But the value of PM’s, etc. will skyrocket much, much faster for exactly the same reason you describe. People will see it as a safe haven.

Now I try to save supplies and recently put up 20 lbs of oatmeal and 12 lbs of egg noodles, stuff like that.

If SHTF and somebody knocks on my door (instead of just shooting me), and asks for soup, I won’t ask them if they have silver.

I’ll ask them if they can use a spade or know how to chop wood or can haul water...
