Cash only and bank failures possible?

Pure silver, darn. I have been selling off everything to buy shiny beads, malt liquor, and cheap Canadian whiskey.

I have begun salting fish and regularly carry a can of sardines in my pocket in case I need to buy passage in a pinch.

Crap, I hadn’t thought of this. I should have asked the board if I should go all silver or diversify into other assets. I’ll see if I can trade a plate carrier for malt liquor. I want to be prepared for the collapse of the banks and civilization as we know it.

I’m collecting marbles now because marbles will be in high demand then! I can also barter with my uncle Elmer’s stamp collection in a dire situation. (To buy food and water) but I’ll keep my slingshot at all costs so I can hunt rabbit and sell their hides to the trappers that might come by! Oh and I’ll stock up on batteries and lard.

You are a better prepper than I!

Yes, and I make a great possum stew and also figgy pudding! (Grandma Ethel’s family recipe) I just wonder if my collection of soda pop can pull tops will come in handy?

I remember making chains out of the old pull tops so they will be extremely useful.

Awesome! I can put them on my tires to drive through the snow! Since there will probably be no tv due to no electricity, I think board games will be in high demand. I think I’m going to invest in board games to sell (when they are in high demand) like monopoly, connect four, twister, operation, chutes and ladder, candyland and battleship! I will be rich thanks to all the wonderful advice here! I like GOOOLLLDDD!!

My 32 year old daughter asked me if these things come to
pass will her Beanie Babies go down in value? I didn’t have to heart to tell her……

Leaf 1960 marbles are what you need come hard times. And second series marbles are the most valuable

They have these new fangled pop tops that you can make fishing hooks out of.
