Like it or not we work for fiat currency. What's the best long term investment to protect that energy you've spent to earn that money, so that it is liquid enough to convert back to fiat if necessary, but will also maintain its worth in the event of societal collapse?
Shit load of preserved food?
Land?
Guns and ammo to protect said investments
Renewable energy infrastructure for your home?
Would it literally just be anything that you need to be self sufficient?

Trade it for ammo, nonperishable foods and precious metals (in that order of importance) before the collapse.

Antibiotics have a fairly short shelf life yes?
Why precious metals if the means of manufacturing have collapsed? Do you think even in an appocolyptic scenario, there would still be people vain enough to want shiny things? Would those types of people even be safe to trade with? I guess gold and precious metals have been valued my mankind for centuries, so I suppose my family (great grandkids etc) could utilize it and start out on top in the next resurgence of human civilization.
I also don't know where to buy those precious metals where I want get taken. Plus doesn't the federal government monitor precious metal bullion that is sold?

Immediately after, they won't be worth much.
After things calm down a bit, precious metals will be useful for trade and will act as currency.
At least until the tribe comes out of their burrows and attempts to resume their usurious tricks.

I read that the military tested old drugs and found them to be safe and mostly still effective after ~20 years or something like that.
Buy amoxicillin for farm animals and stock it.

Yeah most stuff is good, liquid medications break down a lot faster and some can degrade to a harmful state.
