I've just finished reading One Second After by William R. Forstchen - I received it two days ago - I couldn't put it down. This is an excellent book that I fully recommend every Survivalist/Prepper/Anyone Else read. Seriously, this book is one of those that will help to open people's eyes to just how fragile we are and just how stinkin' hard it is going to be to survive TEOTWAWKI.
This is the third in a series of posts that will go over preparation for a Nuclear Attack. <a href="../2008/11/preparing-for-a-nuclear-attack-some-background/">The first can be found here.</a> The <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2008/11/preparing-for-a-nuclear-attack-determining-your-scenario/">previous post</a> in the series is here.

Hard-Core TEOTWAKI Preppers know that pre-1965 silver coins are made up of actual silver and have good potential barter power. That bartering capability comes from the fact that the U.S. Mint has guaranteed the amount of silver in these coins so they have a known value. Bullion Coins are generally considered the easiest way to have known values of precious metals - hence their potential barter usage. So far this is fairly common knowledge, but there is a lot more to know in order to do this properly - and I'm trying to get it all figured out.
