just invested in precious metals

had an appointment to see my va doc yesterday. Figured id stop in walmart and see what they had for 22 shells. I havent stepped in walmart for at least 5 years. They had 325 packs of feds for 22 bucks a brick. I asked the guy if there was a limit and he said nope. I asked how many they had and he said whats on the shelf. I bought all 17  bricks of them. With what happened today id about bet ammo is going to completely dry up in the next couple weeks. Just told the wife that after work to stop at the bank and take 2k in cash out to put in the safe in case cyber attacks close down credit cards and banks. Told her for here on out the gas tanks in the truck and jeep dont go below 3/4s of a tank.

Ha Ha
You got me
I thought for sure this would be about
buying gold coins and silver etc.

Yeah,  I've always tried to keep the
fuel on the high side JIC since you
never know what may come up.
One of the people that used to call
me paranoid, survivalist, etc. would
try to ridicule me about the topping
off habit. I finally had to jump right
back since he never had over a
quarter tank in his V8 4 barrel 350
4wd truck because his theory was
that the extra weight of a full tank
was detrimental to his gas mileage
and he said he'd rather have the money
in his pocket since he could always
buy gas. I told him " what if you got
severely injured and I had to drive
flat out balz to the wall to get you
to emergency care? Would you want
me to stop for gas and put 5 dollars
in at a time like you do?"
Most times I'm traveling a good ways,
I'll carry at least one medium can
of gas JIC
Good to have plenty of 22LR too
even if it's not premium match stuff.
If it goes bang every time I can
make use of it. Crap ammo beats
a magazine full of spider webs
every time

if things really go to hell 22s and food will be worth more then gold and sliver. heck im sitting on a couple tons of lead and when it hits 5 bucks a lb im selling a good amount of it. I already have probably enough bullets casted to last me my life other then 9s and maybe 40s. Even those I have a number of coffee cans full but i do tend to shoot them alot more then anything else. Ive got at least a ton of pure and getting something to alloy it with is getting tough and i doubt id need to cast the ton or more already alloyed stuff i have before they plant me.

  We have always lived like that, so nothing has changed here at my house.
