Although I have been taking a little profit on the recent runup, I bought a little precious metal this weekend in the form of tin cans.
I spent $103 and got enough food and drinks to feed my wife and I for over 3 weeks, a fire starter, propane for the portable camping grill, BIC lighters, batteries, Sterno, and peroxide. It only takes up about a 3' X 3' square about 3' high.
Feels good to know I'm a little prepared, maybe not the Armageddon scenario, but we do have a hurricane coming this way in a few days and it might leave us in the dark for a couple days. I haven't felt this good about spending money on something other than silver in a while.

bought sum lead also, getting ready for them dove birds to start flying. Those would be backup also if somebody got smart and wanted to plunder around the homestead.

I have enough of this stuff to last me, my wife, and my kid about 3 months. I also have a hand operated katadyn water purifier and a magnesium fire starter and a lead dispersal device with over 500 servings of lead.
Before you call me a nut job, the total amount of cash invested for the above is about $1,400....or roughly 3 gold eagle 1/4 oz coins. The way I see it, if things actually get bad enough for me to use any of the above, you wont be able to get all that stuff AT THAT TIME for less than 3 ounces of gold....and maybe even more than that.
Its an extremely cheap insurance policy in the event it will be needed someday. And if we dont ever need any of it.....all the better!

Everyone needs a little insurance.

<< <i>It would even be nice to have that stuff for simple extended power outages. Like I said in the coin forum, we had a derecho in 2009 that knocked out power for several days. It would have been nice to have had some packaged meals on hand for emergencies. All of our meats in the deep freeze ruined and we pretty much had to eat out twice a day in the town 10 miles to the north where they had power. A couple evenings I just cooked out on the charcoal grill but it still required us going to the grocery store in the next town and bringing it home and cooking and eating everything we bought. Much cheaper to have prepacked stuff on hand. >>
And what if the shelves were empty at the grocery store? And what if you didn't have gas in your car to drive somewhere to eat? And.......Lots to think about.
I didn't buy any liquor (I don't drink), but I hear Vodka is good for all sorts of things. May need to send a heathen to the package shop for a bottle or 12.

Irene looks to be coming straight for NC, I have plenty of canned/dry food to last weeks.
I might need to pick up some dog and cat food though.
