@Chisel is the wise one here. A well stocked pantry is more valuable and usefull than 1000 pound of gold in an emergency.

I believe if we had to stay put (bug-in, as in Covid scenario) we will not suffer much.

INHO, this is more reasonable that buying gold. YMMV

The key is to diversify. We can't predict everything we might need in the future. For instance, if you need a tank of gas, an attendant may be more inclined to accept silver as payment than a loaf of bread.
