[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 929401, member: 839"] My dad was a firm believer in 'having something to trade'. Also a firm believer in diversification of assets. After he died last year, we had to go through his "stuff". This man had way more "stuff" than any of us imagined possible! Stockpiles of aluminum, as in old pans, pieces, parts, cans, pieces of parts etc. Brass, steel, iron etc. Cases of canned wheat. Boxes of flashlights and Bandaids. The list goes on. The reason.... should the US find itself in a place like it was when he was a child in the thirties, he would be as well prepared as humanly possible. Interesting were the reactions of various siblings LOL. Some of us thought it made perfect sense, was logical and smart. Others saw it as nothing but piles of junk and useless items. Soooo, we all know which ones walked off with most of the "useless junk" and which ones didn't.LOL I think my dad was a smart man. And john250, I think you'll be just fine! Katherine [/QUOTE]
