I remember working in retail when the system would go down and we had to use the old card copier as well. It was kind of a cool feeling sliding the bar across the copy paper even though it was such old school technology. I was talking to my friend the other day and I mentioned that I had been starting to grow my silver collection, partly because I think it is cool and partly because you just never know. He pointed out that if something like an EMP were to happen, lead would likely be far more valuable than silver. It was an interesting thought I had never considered before.
I don't know much about lead lining, but if you hit someone over the head with a lead pipe or a silver pipe, perhaps it doesn't matter which :D
That's true, but I think he was thinking more in terms of bullets. Having the lead to reload your own rounds would ensure you can continue hunting to provide protein and also protection when necessary. Which makes sense unless the EMP unleashes a horde of Werewolves.
