Practically, the dollar is backed by the National Debt.  :puke

That is a wonderful feeling. 

Historically man has always valued gold.  In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster gold might not carry much value but it would if the situation continues any length of time.  Gold and precious jewels, for whatever reason, are always the default monetary unit in the absence of gov't.

If there's a total breakdown in world currencies, I think it would make more sense to be heavily invested in ammo.

If it's that bad you may as well hide.  Anyone who has something everyone else needs is going to be outnumbered to the point where every shot you take is going to be returned ten times.  Hide with your supplies and wait for the first wave of people to knock off.  People on meds they can't live without, people who didn't save anything and kill each other over anything visible, and people without any practical skills will all be gone quickly.

Thats a very survivalist approach. I hope that doesnt happen in my life time. Then again, being here for the steady decline would be just as bad. Would you rather be taken out by the nukes, or live to fight the machines?

It's starting to look more like cyclic climate change is going to be what does modern society in.  Maybe it has already started.  Move away from the coast!
