We are living on luck...


If something like Katrina or The Big One would happen in CA or on the
Madrid Fault, we would be in serious trouble.

Some of us could help those that have not done anything to prepare for
a disaster. *I certainly am not counting on the government for help in
a disaster.

I agree.

But none of us privately have access to resources on the scale that a
Government has.

FWIW...anyone should have survival stores in place to survive
unassisted for days and weeks. In the ongoing Japan disaster, some
people have been isolated for over a month now...having to survive on
their own.

In such a situation, tools would matter while gold would not.
