Unless your retirement account is a mix of multiple currencies held in person you're banking (pun intended) on your particular government and financial institutions surviving for the next 50 years and not facing a single hyperinflation crisis. Even if you hold gold you're banking on there not being a steep drop in the price of gold.
I would say if you can afford it at least keep stockpiles of stuff like dry rice (which lasts llmost indefinitely is stored right), canned food, maybe medicine.
