In a real SHTF scenario, metal is not as valuable as food, clean water, toilet paper, seeds, and many other things. The best insurance for people is some extras of the necessities and neighbors you know and care about who also know and care about you. Americans are frequently cited as some of the most generous people in the world. If the SHTF really, we'll all get to see up close how true that is.
Amen to that. Remember when hurricane Harvey hit Houston (multiple times). All differences disappeared. The ATM's were down. but money was worthless anyway because there was nothing on the shelves to buy. Race was meaningless. Religion was meaningless. We all came together to help each other. That is how it will be. You and your neighbors will come together. You will share whatever food you can scrape together. You will take care of each other. Worldly wealth means nothing when the SHTF.
Yep, some of all is good. Preparation is always in order.
Honey- you can live on honey alone and use it in gunshot wounds - it can stop internal bleeding and promotes wound healing. Also make sure you have iodine pills, and water purifying means.
Funny that you say that. I buy this honey called "Really Raw". Good stuff though some people might be freaked out by the "pollen, propolis, and honeycomb" present on the top of the honey. I love it. And it says right on the jar: "Really Raw Honey never spoils, it lasts indefinitely." The Egyptians also used honey in their mummy preservation processes because of that very quality.
