I keep an 80/20 rule with any precious metals. 80% I physically have, 20% paper. That 20% allows me quick trades. This method may not work for everyone but it works great for me.
It's not just gold, I also have an enormous stockpile of seeds, wheat, whole grains and some other bulk foods. I should take a photo and show you, you would fall over laughing. Imagine a rooms the size of a 2 car garage almost totally filled with 6-gallon storage buckets full of this. Maybe a bit obsessive but I believe in the event of a true global or even domestic collapse, my food supply and seeds are going to be worth more than any amount of metal I may have. I also have a well with a hand pump and a good water filter. I consider myself a survivalist and enjoy the aspect of preparation and educating others on it.
If you are limited in space or live in an urban environment, Google "Depression Garden" and see what you can grow in a small area. You'd be surprised.
I can even teach you how to fortify your home, how to do little things to make it more secure to stop those who want what you have. How to defend your home and protect you family. Lots of things you can do. Been thinking of writing a survival ebook but I don't think there is enough interest in the subject just yet.
