>>871841>he fell for he jewish gold ruseif SHTF, a few things happen at the same time
A. some things can't be bought, period
B. scarcity creates massive price flux, nobody knows what anything is worth any more, you try to pay for something WITH FUCKING SOLID GOLD people are going to charge you a shit ton
C. there may or may not even be mutual tradability
people might not accept cash, they might not accept gold either
these things are only valuable because everyone agrees they are
D. gold is heavy, really heavy
I don't know is you are a genuine shill for a gold trader or just a fool, but here is the consensus among preppers
bring surplus of what you will personally use, that way if trading isn't an option you won't be left things that can't help you
bring things that are usefull to a broad range of people, soap, tampons, food.
guarentee you have something the other person will want
bring a great variety of things
someone might pay $100 (or equivilent) for a bottle of water then they are thirsty, but will only pay 20$ for the second bottle
more variety=more trading with fewer people
there are issues with specialty good (asthma inhalers, meds, lice combs etc)
they are pretty worthless unless you need them, people who DO need them might not be able to get to you
if you buy the right goods, it won't cost you much now; and if shit doesn't hit the fan in the near future you didn't waste your money
why the fuck would you buy something like gold to trade?
what are you going to trade it for later, a knife, food?
why not just buy those things now instead of the gold
have things that are "low value", to use as change or to give as gifts
