I typically buy a few oz of silver every month. It will come in handy when the fiat dollar hyperinflates and becomes near-worthless. Also stock up some basic essentials too. That's what you'll need silver for basically, bartering.

if shtf im not giving my food, water and ammo away for useless metal like silver and gold. youd better have something with actual utility value if you want to barter with people.
youd be better off buying vegetable seeds tbh

99.999% of stock pile preppers are doomed.
There are thousands of possible doomsday scenarios, and those are very unlikely compared to you randomly dying as an individual from something. That being true, the odds of you taking the correct preparations are about as likely as you winning a sizable lottery.
Long before survival supplies are needed, you're going to need to survive the political coups and civil wars that will start happening in every western nation.
Good luck anons.

I always say "always save one extra bullet… for yourself." In times of crisis, for many, it will become too unbearable. If you survive this, you will likely have killed many. Possibly raped and done others harm too, depending on situations. Bugging in may be an option for a while. Once people know you have supplies it will be like warding off hundreds of zombies from Night of the Living Dead. Even with entry point fortification, they'll get in at some point (or just try burning your home down completely in fits of rage).
Always save one extra bullet.

The best scenario in SHTF is if people actually got together and burned down places like Congress and the Federal Reserve. Find and ruthlessly KILL any politician, bureaucrat or banker you can scalp alive. That would be more desirable than a bunch of preppers trying to survive as they plunder the whole damn country leaving us killing one another. I say kill them when SHTF, if you have the means to do it.

Absolutely false. You need survival supplies right now, today. You needed survival supplies starting the day you were born. Food, shelter and water are required to even live to see the civil war/whatever happening.
silver and gold are not required, have never been required, and will never be required for a human to live.

Silver and gold are typically used for wealth preservation because they can never be devalued to 0, unlike fiat paper/digital currencies. As for bartering, no one is going to barter if they only have limited supplies of essentials to survive. Someone who has access to an inventory of supplies MIGHT barter during hard times. If you were to ever survive the collapse and live to see the days where civilization gets back on its feet, having gold and/or silver would make you a rich man. This is why most bankers secretly love precious metals (while publicly discouraging investment).

The masses end up dying off quickly due to lack of food, clean water and proper sanitation. I'd rather be a dead prepper than suffer under those horrific conditions.

gold and silver CAN be valued at zero, if people are literally starving. you cant eat gold. A starving man in holohoax conditions would trade 5 tons of gold for one hamburger.
Water will absolutely always have value, no matter what, forever.

… You can't survive the world alone so, if you really want to live long enough to have children that will take over the responsibility of repopulating the earth: you'd better find some other preppers to join up with so you can build a village in the middle of the woods before the catastrophe actually happens.

Only do this with people you absolutely know and trust. Most will backstab during times of real hard crisis and mandated rationing of supplies. It takes an empty stomach for a few days before even your best friends will turn on you. KNOW THIS.
During the Irish potato famine people got so desperate they'd peel the leather from their shoes, boiled and ate it. Consider this a reason for stocking up on some canned foods or bulk wholesale foods that have a long shelf-life. Consider Sams or Costco. [Prepper industry will rip you the fuck off on their dehydrated foods, so don't bother.]

That's why you always carry a handgun with you.
