3 isn't enough, you need more guns my friend.
I was going to show my gun safe, but now I don't have to....
You are elected block Captain - Rep+
A lot of people miss the point about buying gold. I am not talking about investing, I am talking about holding gold.
To hold gold:
1st - you must buy or mine it. I suggest buying 1 ounce .999 gold coins, one a month to get you started..
2nd - you need to protect your gold. I suggest lots of guns and lots of bullets. (so you can become block captain, when the time comes). NoDrama shows about what you will need to outfit your survival squad.
3rd - 72 Hour survival Kit. You won't live long if you don't get through the first 3 days. After that, it may be long term survival or some military giving you food.
4th - Stock pile, 30 year water, 7 year MRE's, batteries, salt, whiskey, asprin.
5th - if you have room, a couple hundred gallons of gasoline, 10,000 gallons of water.
Watching the Egypt in the news for the last couple of weeks, you can kinda see the scenario.
They shutdown the internet, close the ATM's, no electricity (can't pump gas), police are shooting at people.
You will have what you have, get to the top of the hill for a few days. See what happens
