I usually keep $500-1000 in the fire/water proof safe just for this kind of situation. It's also an emergency fund that I don't touch unless absolutely necessary.

Better Than I Deserve! |
I bank with Navy Federal Credit Union so don't have quick access to my bank (not local). I keep $1000 cash in my gun safe and $10,000 in a local bank account, that I don't use for anything other than parking the cash, that I can access quickly in an emergency. That said, I don't ever have any cash on my person when I need it.This message has been edited.

I keep about $300 on me in reserve at all times & at home several hundred more in the safe. Cash is King and there are just some situations where it can get you out of a quick jam or the ability to obtain/barter at an opportunity. Cheers~ | |||

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I like to keep $50,000 easy access in the bank. $1000 cash in the safe. That being said, I bought a truck so the bank cash is down. need to replenish it. I'm thinking about putting away some silver just to have. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

I agree that it depends on your location and how many people you are responsible for. For my wife and myself we keep anywhere between 2 and 4K on hand. We also have a truck camper that can be loaded in 1/2 hour and we can live in that for weeks at a time if necessary or get out of Dodge if need be. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Minimum $5,000 cash on hand. Preferably $10,000. I don't leave the house without at least $500 in cash on me. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

It's different for everyone. My advise is to always have cash on hand. The amount depends on how much you're comfortable having in your wallet, your go bag, in your car, and/or around your house. Your personal situation will dictate how much is enough or too much. If it worries you to keep more than a few dollars or a few hundred dollars on hand then don't. After living through a couple of "inconvenience events," I started saving every $1 and $5 bill that came into my possession for a couple of years. It added up fast. Since my kids were old enough to handle it, everyone in my family has had $15-$50 worth of $1s and/or $5s with them at all times. Whether or not you use it much, shouldn't cash be part of your EDC lineup? | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
I usually have $100-$200 cash on me and keep another $500 to $1500 on hand at the house in smaller denominations. My great, great granddaddy Lucias Clay taught me to spread the stockpile in several mason jars and bury them in multiple locations around your property. Just make sure no one sees you burying it or digging it up. Granddaddy Clay would get weird at times and dig it all up just to play with it before burying it again. One night some local boys seen him and tried ripping him off. He got the last laugh though.

I like to have some foreign cash on hand, too.  The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

THIS. Here in the Fort Lauderdale area, MOST businesses couldn't take credit cards till last Monday and a few still can't. Most haven't had power for 8 days, but phone lines and internet which credit card machines need to work are still down in lots of places. | |||
