Dwayne... you are a joy to have around and I hope we get to F2F sooner or later (although my PP is DOA and will probably stay that way).
Lead is an excellent idea IMHO... It will ALWAYS RETAIN VALUE... and nobody is going to steal 4 tons of lead bars laying behind your wood pile.
Same with hot or cold rolled steel if a man is a fabricator (local boy built a hell of a firewood processor with conveyor belt et al to a dump truck) with a stash he had... kinda thing.
Same with wire... another buddy is still sitting on 14 pallets of Romex.
Lumber... same...
Primers... ditto
Whatever a man knows well... and can make a living/profit with.
HARD COMMODITIES... PHYSICALLY HELD
As for silver... smart move.
I would use ammo much the same way in a pinch.
You commentary is ALWAYS WELCOME... you are far less abrasive... and the Campfire benefits greatly from that.
