I have some friends in the Rome area that think hard liquor would be a wise investment. One buddy has a couple cases of Jack Daniels for bartering. I think I'm gonna go with some silver in bullion and coin - at least it should hold some value if the dollar becomes worthless and I have my bases covered. Ammo is great, but I don't think its gonna get to the point where we're in an all out war between neighbors and others for survival. I think plenty of food and water and some cash reserves with get us through whatever comes our way.
