Gold, Waffen, Wirtschaftskrise..... da is mir glatt dieser Artikel
eingefallen der von einem "Überlebenden" der argentinischen
Wirtschaftskrise stammt und sich aus eigener Erfahrung mit der
Thematik befasst.
Das Englisch ist relativ einfach gehalten und der Text gut zu lesen.

Einige Auszüge:
"Those that live in cities, well they have to manage as they can.
Since food prices went up about %200-%300. People would cut expenses
wherever they could so they could buy food. Some ate whatever they
could, they hunted birds or ate street dogs and cats, others starved.
When it comes to food, cities suck in a crisis.
It is usually the lack of food or the impossibility to acquire it
that starts the rioting and looting when TSHTF.
When it comes to security things get even more complicated.
Forget about shooting those that mean you harm from 300 yards away
with your MBR. Leave that notion to armchair commandos and 12 year
old kids that pretend to be grown ups on the internet.
Some facts:
1)Those that want to harm you/steal from you don’t come with a pirate
flag waving over their heads.
2) Neither do they start shooting at you 200 yards away.
3) They wont come riding loud bikes or dressed with their orange,
convict just escaped from prison jump suits, so that you can identify
them the better. Nor do they all wear chains around their necks and
leather jackets. If I had a dollar for each time a person that got
robbed told me “They looked like NORMAL people, dressed better than
we are”, honestly, I would have enough money for a nice gun. There
are exceptions, but don’t expect them to dress like in the movies."

"GOLD!!
Someone hit me in the head please because I messed up about the gold
issue.
Everyone wants to buy gold! “I buy gold. Pay cash” signs are
everywhere, even on TV! I can’t believe I’m that silly!
I just didn’t relate it to what I read here because they deal with
junk gold, like jewellery, either stolen or sold because they needed
the money, not the gold coins that you guys talk about. No one pays
for the true value of the stuff, so big
WARNING! Sign on people that are buying gold coins.
Since it is impossible to determine the true mineral percentage of
gold, small shops and dealers will pay for it as regular jewellery
gold.
What I would do if I were you: Besides gold coins, buy a lot of small
gold rings and other jewellery. They should be less expensive than
gold coins, and if the SHTF bad, you’ll not be loosing money, selling
premium quality gold coins for the price of junk gold.
If I could travel back in time, I’d buy a small bag worth of gold
rings.
Small time thieves will snatch gold chains right out of your neck and
sell them at these small dealers found everywhere. This is VERY
common at train stations, subways and other crowded areas.
So, my advice, if you are preparing for a small economical crisis,
gold coins make sense. You will keep the value of the stuff and be
able to sell it for its actual cost to gold dealers or maybe other
survivalists that know the true value of the item.
In my case, gold coins would have been an excellent investment,
saving me from loosing money when the local economy crashed. Even
though things are bad, I can go to a bank down town and get paid for
what a gold coin is truly worth, same goes for pure silver. But where
I live, in my local are small time dealers will only pay you the
value of junk gold, no matter what kind of gold you have. So, I’d
have to say that if the SHTF is bad, gold jewellery is a better
trade item than gold coins.
Forgive me for not talking about this before, but I didn’t realize
this until today, when I visited my local market warehouse and saw a
“Buy Gold” sign."

"PART III: GUNS, AMMO AND OTHER GEAR
After the SHTF in 2001, only the most narrow minded, brain washed,
butterfly IQ level idiots believed that the police would protect them
from the crime wave that followed the collapse of our economy.
A lot of people that could have been considered antigun before, ran
to the gun shops, seeking advise on how to defend themselves and
their families.
They would buy a 38 revolver, a box of ammo, and leave it in the
closet, probably believing that it would magically protect them from
intruders.
Oh, maybe you don’t think that firearms are really necessary or your
beliefs do not allow you to buy a tool designed to kill people. So
you probably ask yourself, is a gun really necessary when the SHTF?
Will it truly make a difference?
Having gone through a SHTF scenario myself, total economical collapse
in the year 2001, and still dealing with the consequences, 5 years
later, I feel I can answer that question.
YES, you need a gun, pepper spray, a machete, a battle axe, club with
a rusty nail sticking out of it, or whatever weapon you can get hold
of."
