I keep a couple of thousand dollars in my safe which is, unfortunately, at the bottom of the lake with all my guns due to a terrible boating accident.
Currently seeking funds at my GoScamMe site.

Can I get one of those sealed envelopes? 
Looks like youâre all goodâŠbetter to have and not need than to need and not have.

As for the original question from the OPâŠsimply put I have more ammo (for my sling shot and dart pipe of course) on hand than I do cash, but I do keep at least 5 bills on hand in different denominations. Oh and most importantly, I have Jesus Christ within me, so I know Iâm already in good hands and nothing will happen without Him knowing it.

Just the way God wanted it to!
It may not have been the way you or I or anyone else wanted it to, but that doesnât matter.
All things are according to His will, not ours. We are just fortunate to be a part of His will.

Iâm fortunate to be far away from Kentucky 
OkâŠ
We already have been having âreligionâ loooong conversation on another thread.
As OP asked - itâs good idea to have any cash handy, not even in case of power or Internet outages.
I alway keep $60 for current unpredictable expenses plus $10 in my pocket in case of âwallet robberyâ. I prefer to lose $10 instead of whole day being investigating because of this $10

$1000 cash, about 150 ounces of silver, a few ounces of gold, and lots of toilet paper. The TP is probably the best of those for bartering (apparently).
Oh, and lots of ammo.

Thanks for all the replies. I was just wondering where you were all at. As I said this isnât about the Apocalypse, EMP or other but just the run of the mill the power and internet is down in your neck of the woods (or if you wish bugging out if you think it went that bad before everybody else catches on)
I am fortunately in a new(er) job that allows me more latitude than last year at this time. So if they asked if I am better off than last year I would have to say yes. In 3 months I will be credit card debit free and will have a fair sizable savings account (more than I have had in a goodly number of years) as well as some green backs in my wallet above and beyond my normal âemergency get home fundsâ
My personal intention is to have that $100 bill tucked away and the better part of $200 in my back pocket. At home Iâd like to have $2K in small bills and such. I wontâ talk about on hand levels of gold, silver, copper n lead as those have been in place for many years.
Assuming (and we know about that word) that all remains as ânormalâ as it is, I think that it would be wise to have the minimum deductibles from my house, car and other insurances available in electronic money stashed away with a small stipend sent to those accounts weekly or however you get paid. I work in the remediation and restoration industry and it is heart breaking to see folks scramble to pay their deductible and âsource of loss repairsâ like wise with car insurance. If you have to pay for a new water heater that is one thing but if you have to pay for a ROOF that is something else when you own the repair for the âsource of the lossâ. God help you if you have âmoldâ and live in certain areas of the US.
Stock your larderâs as it will never be cheaper than it is today. Look at what you have electronically, look at what you have on hand. Check your insurance policies and make sure your electronic funds are there if bad things happen, insurance companies only work with power and internet.
This little adventure has caused me to reâevaluate more than a few things as well as my experiences in this industry. Pay attention to the fine print.
Cheers,
