Good question @ameliawheat. I guess I'd start by saying that one crisis isnt the same as the next. If you knew exactly what to prepare for it'd be much easier to tune the prep.

In a geneic crisis however, wealth is not the top priority. Water, shelter, food. Ticking these basics would be the first consideration for a go-bag. I'd suggest a roll of toilet paper too. Would help greatly with morale and doubles for fire lighting support. A small knife and then gold & silver I'd say. Resilient to the elements and identifiable. In the army there's a saying "travel light, freeze at night". Don't weigh yourself down too much.

It's a broad topic. Having some wealth stored either electronically or physically in a different country can mitigate the need to decide what to grab and go with.

As a side note, having horses is both great for fuel free transport and for a reliable alarm system for day and night!

Great discusssion!

I'd suggest a roll of toilet paper too.

HAHAHA thats funny!

Indeed, travelling light is probably one of the musts for me as well. I was just trying to imagine myself carrying a USB stick and telling a regular someone on the streets that hey the USB is worth thousands and i imagine them giving the unbelievable face. Unlike gold, if i carry around on the streets, i cam imagine people watching already be it anywhere

Can you define the "crisis"? Will also depend on what is on the USB stick?

Can you define the "crisis"?

Like being attacked by enemy/ war times

Will also depend on what is on the USB stick?

all my crypto portfolio of course lol including steem

Electricity may not be readily available and access to the internet could be shut down, depending on where you might be, the usb stick will be easier to conceal.

That's true. And also, i am not sure if a technically competent people will know how to access the crypto in it.

Indeed, if you didn't need access to the crypto it could be a way to try and keep something for when the crisis ends.

If you survive, if things recover, if the market persists.
I'd rather take the gold, it's a tradable item among the masses, crypto is not known to the average Joe and in a crysis (which is not defined) electricity and internet connection are questionable therefore the USB essentially worthless.
