    Just for fun. What asset would you want the most of if the SHTF? You will probably need some of many of these items to actually survive but what would you consider the most important to have a lot of?


    Guns and ammo?
    Stocked Food and Water?
    Gold?
    Ownership of Land?
    A large security bunker?

    Other?

    Depending on what happened during this SHTF moment.

    I'd most likely go with guns/ammo/fire starter.

    Well the problem is you have to acquire those assets prior to the SHTF moment so you won't know what happened.

    A bomb shelter stocked with water and food. I'd take me and the pup down there and ride it out (hopefully).

    I must admit though, took me a few to figure out what SHTF meant.

    Tacklebox beat me to it. Knowledge would be the number one asset. With that, you can figure out the rest.

    My greatest asset would be all the things I learnt growing up. I would be just fine, kinda sounds like fun to me.
