If shit hits the fan that bad you might pray you have a heavily armed fortress...

No one really knows exactly what will happen if the shit hits the fan in the USA so if you have things to trade and buy shit with, the better off you will be in the event it isn't Armageddon. You may be surprised how the people come together in such a situation. Or you may be right and inner city Negros will be robbing, raping, and killing everyone in their path just trying to get a bucket of chicken. No one will know until it happens.
And don't just stop at coins. Jewelry, bullets, coffee, booze, smokes, shoes, blankets, medicine... think about what people will NEED in the event of a shit hits the fan situation, and have those things. Or don't, up to you, I really don't give a shit. I don't even live there. I've prepared for issues on the other side of the world, not worried too much about you guys.
Regardless of what you think may or may not happen in a worst case scenario, be prepared, get a gun and learn how to use it, have enough food, meds and water to last for two weeks (along with other basic survival essentials). Ya never know what may happen. Earth quake... power grid goes down... terrorist attack.... pandemic flu... or anything else that may be thrown at you. Don't be caught with your pants down.
As silly as this sounds to some of you, here are some things I suggest keeping around in addition to the obvious (best to put it all in one bag):
- A few basic survival books and a first aid book.
- First aid kit. Antibiotics, Ibuprofen, pain killers, small kit for sewing up a wound, and so on...
- LED head lamps.
- A good handful of rechargeable batteries
- Solar charger (if you can get with a hand crank too, get it) to charge your phones, batteries, and what not.
- Small sewing kit
- Water filtration system
- Heavy duty flashlight (mag light)
- A copy of all your important documents (keep in your survival bag)
- Small amount of cash
- Blanket
- Extra socks
- Gloves
Lots of things you can keep in there, just think of what you may need if a huge earth quake happened tonight while you were sleeping and what you would need to make it through 1 - 2 weeks in the event all power went out and no one could help you.
Most all of that can fit into one bag. In the event something happens, grab that bag and go where you need to go. Cause if you have nothing, you're fucked.

Never hurts to know how to survive. You'll be thankful you put the time in if the shit hits the fan.
Of course, all of this goes out the window if disaster strikes while you're on holiday or too far from your home to get there.
