Today, a bit of prioritizing if funds are severely limited.  I know this doesn’t apply to everyone, and if that is true in your case, just read this from the viewpoint of someone who shall shortly need this information.  It’s a friggin economic collapse coming, yo, not the same pussy ass economic decline we thought we were so smart to weather.  In a decline, your car goes down a steep grade, causing anxiety and wear on the brakes ( I really hate automatic transmissions for that reason, as well as their performance on snow and ice-but I’m just a primitive fool unimpressed by progress ).  In a collapse, your car goes over the cliff.  See the difference?

*

If you think your Decline strategies are applicable in a Collapse, you will rudely be proven wrong.  Oh, congratulations, you are the proud owner of a crafted beer stein company.  You are my Randian hero.  You work under no lash, free and proud, beholden to none but the tax collector and the Reaper.  And then, one day, despite all the perfection you achieved, your customers?  Aaaannnd, they’re gone!  You can’t control the macro environment.  On a long enough time line we are all wearing rat pelt jockstraps and beating on each other with chunks on reclaimed rebar.  In between somewhere, we ALL lose our jobs.  I guar-an-damn-tee you.  Prepare to jettison the soft and easy life and get ready to make hard choices.

*

Big and bad and mighty and righteous manly men survivalists laugh in riotous glee as they fling handfuls of bullion coins hither and yon as they sit atop pallets full of factory round ammunition.  Some of us, because, you know, we are insignificant worms that are unworthy since we don’t devote our lives to worshipping Mammon ( if I had, you wouldn’t get to read this wonderfulness but rather face the grim prospect of slogging through inane pap like most other prepper gurus bloodily vomit onto the Internet with their grasping greedy paws held out in expectation of compensation ), actually have to choose between one of the other rather than both.

*

Oh, the shame of it all, not living lives of central bank lackey consumers and defenders of the ‘Murican way!  No, not really.  I’m being sarcastic, so hump you.  For those NORMAL folks who must budget, prioritize and choose, what about those silver purchases?  Should you buy silver, or is the other, other precious metal, lead and brass, a better way to spend your limited funds?  You would think this is a very straight forward answer because, duh, you can’t hurdle silver coins at a high enough velocity to harm those attacking you ( even with a slingshot, and the non-aerodynamic shape might screw up your aim anyway ).

*

But come on, who thinks about buying silver BEFORE food and ammo?  Only morons, and I briefly visit Glittery Fart Unicorn Land when I think about my loyal minions and trust none of you are morons.  I wouldn’t buy so much as a single junk silver dime before I had several years worth of wheat, and I wouldn’t even look up today’s spot price before I had a minimum of 2k bolt rifle rounds or 5k semi rounds ( I usually hold that 3k is a good count for your bolt and 10k for semi’s, but I base that on my “sleep soundly at night” personal preference.  The above should be the bare assed minimum, and not an end count ) or 10k rimfire.

*

Once you have your minimum stockpile and a sound plan for a far less populated spot to spend the collapse ( you know I love junk land, and starting at a thousand bucks it is affordable and unlike most of your other preps it can actually be used if nothing bad ever happens-vacation cabin, retirement villa-but obviously your mileage may vary ), have paid down debt and in general are just looking around and wondering when the collapse is going to happen since it is rather overdue, you may be asking yourself, am I REALLY as prepared as I want to be?

*

So you look at your depleted savings ( the savings you have besides the untouchable savings that is unemployment insurance-call the depleted savings your investment fund ) and need to make a choice.  How do I invest this for maximum efficiency?  This is, granted, a highly personal choice and subject to unlimited variables, so I’d just like you to keep the following in mind.  Both precious metals, silver bullion AND ammunition, will be soon gone for good.  Completely.  And never to return.  We’ve talked about the industrial use of silver and how very little is actually left aboveground.  It is as scarce as gold now, or close enough.  And you cannot reclaim it as fuel becomes scarce.  And every year production declines as industrial use increases.

*

If you ever, ever in all of forever want to own any silver at an affordable price, now is going to pretty much be only time to do so.  And I’m serious about that panicking.  Any disruption in Business As Usual and the price spikes insanely and supply completely dries up.  Do any of you old farts remember the gold and silver demand during the turbulent 80’s?  That was with a lot more supply available.  If you want to flush an afternoon away, read up or watch videos on the shrinkage of silver supply since then.  This isn’t me panicking about Peak Oil or what not, these are solid conservative voices reporting this.  Even the Weasel Doomers ( the ones who go out on a limb and say “we are in a bubble.  It will pop soon”.  Gee, ya friggin think Sherlock? ) are now reporting this as if it was just another interesting fact ( “nothing to see here, move along” ).

*

With silver, it is quite simple.  Regardless of energy cost or mine depletion, the only thing you need to know is that this is the last time you’ll get it cheap.  Even if it never runs out, it WILL jump up in price.  With ammunition, count on the same thing.  There might be shortages, there might not.  But what cannot last long is the low price.  I’ll continue with that tomorrow.
