The Europeans would use gold and silver to buy luxuries such as silk. The Asians would never use gold or silver to buy anything from Europe and this caused confusion amongst the Europeans. <br /><br />Chalk this one up to another "White man thinking everyone else has the same motivations then getting confused when they lose out every time they deal with POC" ooo why do x population act that way? err 'cause that's there thing.

But, they must barter-trade with the outside "world" for many things needed, even at their luddite level. That and a closed and strictly followed and enforced doctrine must be "in place" for cooperation and success. Try that with today's citizenry, it will take quite a few beheadings and tossings off of roofs to get the malcontents with the program. They have enjoyed a "luxury" of a stable and law and order government society surrounding them and willing to accept and respect their ways. Collapse and post apocalypse they will surely need those AR15 rifles and flir scopes the elders shunned for so long.

Sure have a 'small' stash of silver and or gold, under 10 percent financial assets, no more. Don't hoard like ammo or food to an obsession, wrongly approach. Unless your so called tribe is an inbreeding cloistered group that only interacts outside the perimeter territory once a year rarely now, then it will be in no position come collapse to be likewise self sufficient and never need trading for hard goods then. It will need to be a city state sized entity. Cotton, wool, leather self sufficient to clothe selves long term? Mining, forging, manufacturing metals for you know, maybe some tools? Pharmacy compounding, alchemists to cure human ailments? Forests for miles, sawmills of scale to supply the tribe needs?wells or mines for coal and oil with refining capabilities for fuels to light, heat, power small scaled or to scale up equipment? Unless considering these and just want to agrarian hut living, then it will be short time before other tribe or group overpowers and overruns. Then the rape fun happens to you. History is an example.
