If we think (and there have been numerous posts here to support this idea) that all major banks are going to fail because of over-investing in derivatives, what should we do if we have money in those banks? Pull it out in cash? Convert it to silver or gold? Put the cash under our mattress? And will cash be worth anything?
So if we have cash in checking or savings with a bank, how can we protect our assets?
I personally think its a good idea to know how to live off the land in a truly mad max scenario. Learn what wild edibles can be foraged and how to harvest proteins. If our trade delivery system fails, you will need to think local.
