anyone stacking for SHTF?

Negative, bro. Hardly anyone owns silver (or gold), which means that it won't be used as currency in a SHTF or zombie apocalypse situation. You can't trade what you don't have, and most people simply don't have it.

In Puerto Rico, cash was king during their power outage. In a prolonged SHTF situation, I think clean water, food, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, ammunition, and fuel will be the currency or barter goods.

I believe it is useful for SHTF but only after the re-build would start. During a SHTF scenario gold/silver would be useless but it would always be better than cash in the long term.

I stack gold/silver more as a way to not put all my trust in banks.

If you're worried about SHTF gold/silver should only be stacked after you have more important things taken care of such as water/food storage, stacking of medicine and anything that could be valuable such as alcohol, cigarettes etc

I stack guns, lots of them and lead, because when the SHTF, all your food and silver and gold is useless when someone comes after it armed to the teeth.:lol:

They might want a brew though

In a shtf, au and ag are useless unless you are dealing with toffs and are planning to buy their buildings !

Remember we are the great unwashed when/if the s truly hits the f....all the way from upper class down.....a doctor wont accept ag or au if he/she is struggling to feed his own family.....

Alcohol.  Not sure where i saw this, but very good suggestion that stock of spirits is the best thing to stack as it keeps and will be readily tradable.  And if it really goes Pete Tong and all hope is lost, you can see yourself out in massive binge.
