Hyperinflation shows its head again on Doomsday Preppers. While I have gone on report before with recent examples of hyperinflation that were not accountable for mass worry, those instances were dependent on the rest of the world maintaining comparable harmony. The latest instances were fairly small countries in South America and Eastern Europe, a small percentage of the world economic climate. In case of the US dollar declining, 26% of the world economy will be in danger at least, which would be much more difficult to contain.
2. Storing sugar
I hope by this point I have been capable to express many reasons why sugar isn't a great idea for a survival food. A diet heavily based upon sugar along with other carbohydrates might ruin Pat's insulin sensitivity as time passes, make his hunger harder to manage, and result in his body to cannibalize muscle if he ever had to cut calories. Terrible idea all around.
3. Alcoholic beverages for barter
The idea of alcohol as a channel for exchange is interesting since it is a top grade, non-perishable item with innate value. In case of an infrastructure collapse it would be extremely hard to acquire alcohol from other parts of the country. Besides those that like alcohol, there are people who want it to deal with tension, and people who are literally addicted. This might make alcohol, along with cigarettes and other narcotics, prime real-estate in case of a collapse.
But if I were buying alcohol, I might invest in something that improves with time. Liquor in a glass bottle doesn't age, more or less, while something such as a cask of whiskey in the barrel wouldn't just keep but boost in value as time pass by . On the other hand I perhaps drink far more scotch in comparison to Mr. Brabble.
4. A big pile of firearms
There is surely a point of diminishing returns on the quantity of guns that Pat possesses. Aside from people trying to form an individual militia or arm their friends and relations, almost no one can justify having this number of weapons for survival purposes. If they wish to collect guns for fun or as a pastime, that's one thing. But as the amount of guns rises, the utility is reduced and may even become negative.
The quantity of weapons that Pat has require many different types of ammunition. Until he concentrated especially on consolidating to the most in-demand calibres of ammo, the collection of cartridges might get more complicated, making things hard if there was ever a battle or a purpose to bug out. Additionally, there is only a lot of attention that can be given to how to effectively function and keep a gun collection. If he had just 5 guns to pay attention to rather than 100 and was spending equivalent amounts of interest, he would acquire 20 times as much practice cleaning, arranging and shooting with each one.
