    Automatic weapons & handguns.

    I bought beans over the weekend - took the last 4-pack on the shelf That's only enough energy content for a day though. You also need to stock up on high energy foods, preferably ones edible in quantity such as peanut butter rather than plain butter/lard. I imagine petrol will be better currency than Gold if the worse comes to the worst, if you have somewhere to store it.
