Those are the primary precious metals I invest in. Sure, I have a few hundred ounces of silver but we have seen the .gov ban & confiscate Gold before and they will do so again if that is needed.
My first wife's grandpa buried his gold when the government tried to confiscate it. He buried what was at the time about 30,000 dollars worth of gold. He died while it was still in the ground. He did a good job hiding it - it has not been found to this day.
Burying your valuables is an option when the wolves come to take it. It doesn't do you any good in the ground, but it won't do them any good, either.
Quote:Same with food. What do you use money for? To buy necessities.
If you already have most of your necessities stockpiled in your physical possession, money value has less importance.
What do you do with your stockpile when they come to confiscate that? Food doesn't do well underground.

Good Lord! If I had the money to buy those solar cells, I wouldn't be worried about anything for about 10 years!
I do have a friend who has a solar setup like that. He produces around 95% of his own power for his entire house now, so he'll be doing OK if the grid goes down. He's also got an underground warehouse full of food stocks. What I worry about for him is what happens when predators notice he has electricity when no one else does? If the raiders come to investigate and manage to overrun him, then they get his warehouse full of grub, too. I'm not sure his security setup is up to the task, but we can hope I reckon.
Personally, I'd rather live like a rabbit, hiding in the brush, than die like a lion drawing attention, but we all have to chose our own paths.
