Guess what? None of them will agree. One survivalist will say proper firearms. The next will insist upon junk silver coins or cash. Another will say a preparedness retreat in the hills.
All of the above survivalist answers are wrong. The correct answer is food.
Try this. Go a day without eating. No, not breakfast, no coffee, no quick lunch, no sodas, no dinner, no dessert or snacks. Odds are you will either make it until 2 in the afternoon before you break down and go for that candy machine or you will feel so awful you will give up on the spot.
That is what hunger does to almost anyone. The adverse affects kick in quickly because our bodies are programmed to want three squares a day at regular intervals. When we fail to get food, our blood sugar begins to short circuit and the rest of our body begins to suffer.
Only after a few days will our body adjust and begin to deplete our bodies fat and muscle content for energy.
A starving individual, family or group will be unable to produce, to work or defend a home or retreat. So much for the firearms and gold bullion.
What makes food easy is that unlike weapons or precious metals, food is readily available to any survivalist at a reasonable price. The local grocery store contains enough products to fill a survival pantry several times over.
Finally, food is available now. Once the stores are cleaned out, those with the supply of food will be able to barter and trade for the other things they need.
So, stock up on food now. Get to the market and start with the basics. No not beef stew and tang. But component foods; flour, salt, sugar, honey, baking soda, powdered milk, yeast, and oil. All of these products store well for a long period of time and are very cheap.
The survivalist stocks food first and all other items (with the exception of water) come second.
