if "the event"..whatever it is..is just a small term event-say 4 to 6 months something like that..and then its all as before, then it might be worth investing in some gold or silver...if you've got any money that is
i think most preppers are as poor as the proverbial church mouse
however if the event is a total collapse of society as we know it and no coming back from it..not for centuries anyway..then i think Gold and Silver will be pretty worthless..i mean who is going to sell food or animals or anything else for something they cant spend? only the village idiot!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
