I don't prep more than to be able to get through a natural disaster. Beyond this I put myself in the Lord's capable hands.
I want to know something though, why precious metals and gems? You can't eat them and they won't be worth much if the economy collapses. I know if a guy/gal came to barter for a gun or whatever and had gold bars I would tell them to get something good to eat or something that helps me cook or solar panels etc.
Gold/Silver would not fit this bill for me. All it is at this point is pretty. My money is better spent on food storage etc IMO so help me on this one.
