Obviously, he's gonna use the thousand rounds of ammo, and his assault rifle to get whatever he needs from people like you... Well, that's what I would do, and I'm sticking to it

you assume i don't already have ammo. besides he would have reduced his safety by one sacrificing some of his security and by two giving me something i could use against him.

gold is hard to deal with to get it's value.. it's not the ideal medium of exchange.. bullets go stale with time so they have a decreasing value but they are useful both as a medium of exchange and for shooting... there are things that really rise to the occasion for mediums of exchange in the prolonged shtf scenario, but hey, this is ET.. who shares anything worth knowing on ET I have some of that stuff salted away, I'll be fine..

Here is an example of exchange rates in worst case scenarios... suitcases full of silver items straight across for equal volume of veggies in Hitler's Germany.. food was severley rationed at one point...

I wouldn't go raiding people with my assault rifle.. it's for defense.. of course if I could draw somebody into a firefight and they had some bitchin' arms and I prevailed.. victor.. .spoils...

Probably we'll all run out of food at the same time. I'd read that there's a 10 day supply of food (in the stores in production and in transit).

People will probably trade anything for food.

Next up I'd say would be medicine or batteries.
