I have to agree with WeekendCasanova here. I'm hedged out vs Mad Max with firearms and ammo but owning precious metals is a no go. In a true apocalypse scenario canned food, gas, ammo and a firearm is gonna take you a lot further than some gold.
Ask yourself if there is any real true value in a SHTF scenario in which PMs are really gonna pull thru for you? The guy you are bartering ammo for gold is more then likely to just take it from you.
I see 1 real use for PMs. They are fairly portable as a store of value. Wanna move 1 mil by wire? There's a paper(electronic) trail. 1M in gold is actually fairly portable.
