How do I go about buying commodities?
Does anybody know how I could buy commodities that are not precious metals? I already have some gold and silver, but would like to cover other areas as well.

Would you like to buy them for your own use or as an investment vehicle?

So one can take these and start afresh anywhere, and maybe traded with too |

Buy a couple of cases (or more) of vodka, can be used for medicinal purposes, traded for other goods, etc... In the event that nothing happens, people can drink it at your funeral when you die of old age.
