I think you should spend a little more time thinking about what an economy collapse is. It means a complete loss of trust in any existent system. The government can print a new currency but who would take it when it is then clear that it is backed by nothing? Weimar did it and so did Venezuela. Result: a wheel-barrel load of cash for a roll of toilet paper.
This is made worse in a country as the USA that is producing very little of its own. Sure, the fisherman will be able to exchange his fish for eggs and veggies from the farmer. What about the millions of people who get paid to produce nothing. What will they exchange for food?
No offence, but I think your prepping plans are a little too influenced by the liberal propaganda. Be aware.
