Silver has more practical/industrial uses than gold, and it isn't getting easier to find as the years go by. These metals are precious because they're rare.

Sure, buy food, buy guns, buy whatever you need to survive. Buy soap, nails, cartons of cigarettes, and bottles of whiskey to trade with people when the SHTF. But what do you do with your money after you've covered the basics? I'd trust gold or silver bullion over just about any paper currency on the planet at the moment. If 5 years ago you had invested in the stock market, you'd have just lost a shitload of money. If you had bought bullion, your "investment" would've doubled.
