Seems like a good idea before there is a bank run due to various reasons. Do I have to report a withdrawal of like 5k?

I would withdraw in random sized batches on random spread out days
^ THIS. Various increments, on various days. Pull 1k on a Tuesday, next week $500 on a Thursday, etc. No patters nor large increments. But definitely have cash on hand. U.S. banks are FDIC, the F standing for federul (intentional mis-spelling) and they're going after everything including Fda, Faa, etc. They got their hands on everything. So dont trust the F
I don't hoard precious metals. If TSHTF I won't be able to eat it and I'm in such a remote spot that I won't be able to exchange it for anything.
I collect food that will keep and items such as tools that I can use for barter or to do work as barter.
The only metal I collect is sheets of aluminum, copper and steel. Also tubular steel. Also electrical wire and fittings. Also plumbing stuff. If TSHTF this type of stuff will be unobtainable.
I also have a small solar electricity system. It's not big enough to supply everything but maybe one or two pieces of equipment at a time. I'm planning to upgrade it.
The things that are most valuable in SHTF scenarios:
Everything else can be salvaged as needed. IE, the average home has tons of wiring, nails, boards, etc... But those four items will be in high demand and are not stockpiled in the average home.
Note that your survival depends on how quickly you can form a gang. You cannot stay on vigilant guard 24/7, so you need people you can trust to watch your back.
