pretty interesting commentary from BrotherJohnF:

[pennypicker]

Thanks Neil for the interesting audio. I take comfort in knowing that the value of my silver stack is "infinite"

$50 of paper fiat?....nay. here's my counter offer



or......



when silver gets to $1000 a toz, things might get so hairy, if you don't have a crew with you, when you're trading, this might be the counter offer from folks with no heart or morals.

whew! i'm glad you didn't take my post the wrong way.....I enjoy speculating on alt-currency, barter, what would be worth what.

its late (for me) otherwise we could have a trading session, I got a stack, and I do have quite a few cans of bugler and blue American spirit.....but I know you might need tobacco, so lets say we knew each from barter swap meets anyway.......by golly, i'd let you roll one up before we got to trading anyway. (if you were out, and craving....that's just what a friend does)

glad ya didn't take it wrong...really am. i'll pick this up later, deal?

I've seen people not get their tobacco, either break the addiction now or stock up now,
one or the other. Judgement is not at it's best when going through withdrawls, and if
things ever get that bad you'll need good judgement to get through it.

If things are bad enough we need to barter, then the silver is likely near worthless. That tobacco, maybe the water, any food or medicine is the silver for such a period, and arguing seeds for next season the gold, my math anyway. Atleast until things are heading towards being normalized. probably a better time to add to ones stack rather then trade it for things, save it for later to hold wealth to "the other side" of a crisis. For you or loved ones. Maybe Im wrong but thats what Id expect myself.

A good book that goes through many of the withdraw symptoms like tobacco, drugs, etc are presented in a book that a read from a friend on this site called " one second after"

It became very ugly for those that went through the withdraws. Hard enough for those that need insulin and other life savings drugs.

I will be gladly trading tobacco, spirits, water, food, medicines, toilet paper, etc. for silver and gold. Silver and gold will be kings in my locality!

I still believe that the ultimate currency will be lead, and the ability to keep what's yours with it.

Deal

I heard and read stories about preppers, who mostly stack lead, because their "gameplay" is to use their lead to END other folks ability to keep what is theirs.

i'm not accusing you of this DEAD end strategy.....but where I live, that kind of strategy will be dealt with quickly and without remorse.

Please don't take offense. I believe that might be true in parts where the population density is above 7 people per square mile, but below that density, where everybody knows everybody.... up here, strangers, or gangs of strangers will be seen long, before THEY see anybody, the hills have eyes.

postadd:

There is also a small but ingrained subculture within spheres of survivalism that embraces the strategy of the “prepper pirate,” essentially planning their subsistence around the idea of taking what they need from others as a form of evolutionary realism. They believe that the “survival of the fittest” is more important than the survival of the principled.

In mainstream yuppie culture, this attitude would be labeled insane. Yet urban and suburban television addicts often cheer the concept of the ends justifying the means in their favorite prime time shows and consistently argue for morality stretching policies within government (as long as their “team” is in control of the football in Washington, D.C.). I have little doubt they would adopt such thinking in the event that disaster does strike and they find themselves unprepared amid desperate conditions.

When I saw the picture, what I thought was "this is probably what it looks like to be friends with Aaron Hernandez."

[neilgin1]

good deal we got Wikipedia, as I was thinking "who's Aaron Hernandez?"

Lord have mercy, a bad man for sure.

Not to get off topic here but I can't believe those dirtbags that wrote those awful things about Curt Schillings daughter. I heard he found all 4 or 5 of them and some were fired and disciplined.

Exactly! Smile, Say Cheese, and wait for the FLASH!

Gold and Silver are for after several year's worth of food, several firearms useful for your area, and tens of thousands rounds of ammo. (Not that I have any of that stuff.)

Comes a time when you want to store wealth that does not take up near as much room.

Thought from "Alas Babylon": Get straight razors from the 2nd hand market. Extras to trade. Look up care and sharpening, etc, on the internet.

[Cu Penny Hoarder]

Doing the exact opposite of "brother john" tells you to do will make a LOT of money.

It's my belief that ammo will be worth more than gold someday.

done and done, also Penny, I agree in theory, but the discussions that would result from THAT theorizing, I wouldn't wanna have on a public forum, and i'm sure you'd agree. Plus, when we talk about ammo, in that situation, death is close behind, and any man that has a warrior's clean cold heart, BUT still has a soul and love there too, even prevailing in defense, would do a lot of inner harm.

I know this all wouldn't be a film,it would be real, dirty and full of pain and I just posted this a little while back, but I THINK it speaks to what i'm TRYING to say, though I feel i'm dancing with words, when the facts on the ground would be blood, death...mayhem. but you got to do what you got to do, when you have to do it....no choice.
