<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 2827367, member: 307&quot;]I waited a bit before I wanted to weigh in. It wasn&#039;t easy to express succinctly, and therefore I ask for your forgiveness in advance, this post is likely my second longest of my tenure here, the longest being an actual article.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with this discussion primarily is the different angles that everyone comes to it from.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I agree that I can&#039;t understand the self-described &quot;prepper&quot; mentality, I don&#039;t expect to understand everyone in the world. I don&#039;t see them as having any adverse impact on society as a whole, and so in the words of my brother,&nbsp; &quot;God bless&quot;, more power to ya. I think that a &quot;be prepared&quot; mentality would serve most everyone very well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say this only because it&#039;s impossible to understand my point of view unless you know where it comes from.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see where silver and gold are going to automatically become the preferred method of exchange in a post-apocalyptic world. What about barter?</p><p><br /></p><p>Guns and ammo will likely be more important than anything else, but if I were prepping, I&#039;d look outside of the box and ditch the pennies. Because unless you can turn them into ammunition of some sort, they&#039;re taking up space and money that could probably be better placed elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
