Vote or Die. And for the stupids out there, this isn't serious.

Poll inspired by my survivalist friend and his buddies believing the gub'mint is finally going to go full dictatorship.  :nelson:

Buy a bunker and fill it with gold, stocked with ample spam supplies and an aresenal to take out the riff raff.

I voted gold since you only really hurt yourself.

Gold alone is a terrible idea. Much better to invest in guns, ammo and supplies, because when the hordes of commies come to redistribute your possessions, all you can do with gold is throw it at them.

Good point; you should get the equipment to make your own ammo and a stock pile of raw materials.

Stockpiling food is a good idea but easy to do.
You should also be sure to fortify your house though. Barbed wire. Lots of it.

You also need a sword and crossbow.  Once civilization crumbles, humanity mostly dies off, and canned food begins to run low, shots fired will only draw the other scavengers to your secret lair.

If she finds out that you have a Spam stockpile, you're going to end up finding her in your bunker whether you invited her or not.  In that case, you may want to bring a copy of Farnham's Freehold into the bunker so you'll know how to handle the situation.  :)

I did an inventory of my guns for insurance purposes yesterday, and went ahead and inventoried food supplies.

I am well stocked on food and water. I took the post katrina and Ike lessons to heart. :goodboy:

Ammo supplies aren't the greatest. Pistol ammo is good, rifle ammo for the SKS is mediocre. And the shotgun ammo is OLD.
