CASH IS STILL KING even for Survivalists
But what about the MONEY?
Do preppers aka survivalists need Money or they are above it??
You will always need Money in any worse case scenario.
What you gonna do if you can’t access an ATM or your bank account for an undetermined period of time?
Will you rely on traditional survivalist stuff like gold bullions and silver coins or a much ligher thick wad of cash?
Would you personally prefer to be paid in gold instead of cash in period of war??
No!!!
No interest!!
Talk about real Money! Paper Money!!

CASH IS KING |
A regular suggestion from preppers is to always carry $200–$500 cash on yourself as part of your EDC kit.
Paper and coin, different denominations, preferably small bills, 20 and below.
This will cover cab rides, bribes, food, clothing, equipment, communications, and hotel/motel fees.
Just enough to run around for a few days in case of bad luck or to go to your P.E.R.K. & PSK in a SHTF / TEOTWAWKI / WROL worse case scenario.
What?
I’m lost and you are too!
Some definition before going any further.
- P.E.R.K (Personal Emergency Relocation Kit)
- PSK (Personal Survival Kit)
- SHTF (Sh*t Hit The Fan) means some kind of catastrophic event like a natural disaster, a financial collapse, a terrorist attack or a civil war.
- TEOTWAWKI – The End Of The World As We Know It.
- WROL – Without Rule Of Law. A time when police, military, etc have lost control. A lawless situation.
Sh*t Hit The Fan (SHTF) kit
One survivalist suggested to have $500–$2000 in your SHTF stash. Or just enough to buy a plane ticket. Well… In my view, it’s not enough in a worse case scenario situation.
Here below is what you will realistically need in Cash Money to keep on living decently…
- Three months worth of expenses
- A plane ticket for each family member to relocate out of state or country.
- One month deposit + three more months worth of rent in potential foreign country.
- USD$1000 bribe per family member.
- Money to buy an OK used car.
That’s it for our travel into the fairly interesting and paranoid world of the preppers and survivalists.
