The only things that will have any value will be essentials, food, water and guns/ammo. Secondarily, survival supplies.
I just bought 8 5gal food grade water storage containers that are stackable. It's enough I think for us for about 3-4 months worth of water. I have a field-grade filter device and extra filters that would give me a couple hundred more gallons. Will be shopping in the next few weeks for long term food storage (25yr+)

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
