In the event that you are trading gold and silver and ammo, your first problem will be holding onto your gold and ammo in the first place. Which means if you are prepping for this scenario, your first order of business is to be part of a tribe willing and able to defend you.

This is why I believe leadership in urban environments would quickly turn over to existing city gangs in a collapse scenario. Maybe the police would be one gang that controls a fraction of the city.

Urban gangs already have the required tribal associations, intimate understanding of the terrain and resources therein, and the propensity to commit violence that would be required to take control.

Any of us good citizens who keep our heads down, go to work, avoid violence at all costs, and individually prep for a collapse without building existing association to a coherent tribe will end up quickly dead or subservient to these existing tribes.

The question is, in total societal collapse situation do you want to live? I am not sure I would want to.

I'd just want to stick around to see how things panned out, it'd be pretty interesting.
