I live in Mainland China, say whatever you want about my government, when this type of situations actually happen the government will deploy all its branches including the military to ensure the general public’s well-being. However your video is truly inspiring, I have a pelican case retired from storing camera gear, I will definitely try some of your ideas, after all one as an individual can only trust the government to a certain degree, better to be prepared in your own house in advance. Have a good day sir and keep the vids coming!
since you brought that up, well good thing im not one of them, I guess what im trying to say is I don't have the power to choose where im born nor im not defending anything, just Looking at the bright side and appericate certain good aspect of my government. The Chinese government handle natrual disasters quite well which is what I have been experiencing so far. You have a good day sir.
I think this is a great idea…. Especially if you’re a kit lover and you don’t have any kits to create; you can slowly put this together and it’ll satisfy the urge to create one.
Good content. Not totally sure about getting into barter too soon after SHTF with strangers, but cultivating relations with neighbors is good start to a neighborhood watch. Keep it up, Semper Fi 🪖 You guys stay here, I'm going to Battalion. 😉
Happy to join your Battalion! Have an old pelican case that I'll repurpose as a barter kit. I love that you also put items in yours that you know your neighbours will need, I appreciate the fore thought you put into your EDC and preparedness.
Awesome idea and I agree, bartering with people you can trust is the way to go. I sat there thinking, what could he possibly need, he peeps. But sure enough there were things you needed/wanted and this bartering kit made it possible for people to help each other. Keep your Battalion Ready!
The concept of a barter kit was a new idea to me and something I’m going to consider. I can see the value when SHTF used judiciously. Great idea to consider for battalion resources.
Great video. One thing I would add, and you said it. The small portable propane canister. I would also add in one gallon fuel too. Again great video. Battalion
Battalion. Great kit, the cigs and small booze bottles are definitely a good addition and in high demand when things go south. My kit is extremely similar, though I also have storm proof matches as part of my fire starting items. One thing I would add that I have in my kit is water purification tablets. People don't always have the ability to boil water.
Great kit. I ended up bartering myself for Aleve during the peak of the pandemic. Had a flooding issue take out my entire supply and with back damage things got uncomfortable fast. Luckily I gave up cannabis about 5 years ago but still had a massive stock pile as well as a large stock of "pipe" tobacco. Didn't take long to realize the local recently unemployed under 30 smoking crowd would trade anything and everything for a bag of weed or tobacco and some papers. I'm still using the supply of Aleve I built up using bartering in 2020. If cannabis is legal around you I highly recommend it for bartering.
The idea of a barter kit never even occured to me. We live in an area where our power is going out all the time for periods of time and this could save my family and I to the fullest. Thank for the info Marine-X! BATTALION!
Awesome idea and I agree, bartering with people you can trust is the way to go. I sat there thinking, what could he possibly need, he peeps. But sure enough there were things you needed/wanted and this bartering kit made it possible for people to help each other. Battalion Ready!
Awesome to show case this kit.. This way of thinking isn't always talked about.. Bartering with the neighbors great way to establish credit with them.... Battalion
I don’t have a dedicated barter stash…yet. I have purchased some lesser quality items over the years like knives and non-Bic lighters etc. I keep the good stuff for me and my family to use. Also to give to close friends and family that may need one in a SHTF situation. One thing I may add to my stash will be batteries. And a battery charger. That way you can charge batteries for yourself ….or charge someone else’s batteries if you have a generator or power source. Just a few batteries not a whole “BATTALION”of batteries. Lol. That’s a real dope knife Frfr. Take care and be safe.
I have HarborFreight near me and their Apache 3800 boxes are about $50 and seem to be as tough as the Pelican boxes if you cannot afford them. I like the idea and am going to set one up. Go Battalion!
"Shortens tongues and lengthens arms. A vision of their dead comes to the weak. The moon shall not be too old Before the new battalions rise, Blue battalions." Stephen Crane. Great video! I never thought about preparedness like this. Now I'm going to make a barter kit!
This is probably the best content I have seen to apply to real life emergency/grid down situations. I second the putting some batteries in the barter kit. Oftentimes people will have items that utilize batteries but they don't keep them fresh or have spares. I always keep about 200 batteries in my rotating inventory. Battalion!!
Awesome video brother great ideas for people. I say stock up on anything and everything you can store. Most people don't see something like tape as valuable but when shit goes down they start to find out. I'm happy as people who prepare we can sort of foresee that sort of thing
I do like this one a lot better than the larger kit youve shown before. I also like that you gave real world examples and not apocalypse situations. Only thing i would swap out is the flashlights, i found a cheap usb rechargeable at walmart for $10 that keeps the people coming back, you trading fresh batteries works as well
One thing that you mentioned that most folks wouldn't think of is the security of your nuclear football. Someone may want that ENTIRE kit for themselves and would most likely do anything to get it during dire times...not even caring what's inside. Make contact with those in need and ask them what they're looking for. Make a list, work the trade if possible and move on. Great list and as always, great content for when SHTF.
I live in Romania, here we dont have need of this case for trade. And as drink, we have palinca wich is verry stro( aprox 55 ) in any house it may be possible to find drinks of any kind. But this video as any others from u, i find interesting one. Battalion!
Just found this channel recently and subscribed to the Battalion right off. Great idea on the bartering kit, especially on catering it to your neighborhood.
It’s very good Idea to Build one ☝🏻 of these for sure. I’m still putting mine together. Still learning and thanx for your Videos Helps me So much. Thank you. We are all working together Battalion !!
Great ideas for trading. Also note that we can trade our labor for what we need in a crisis, too. Shovel a driveway for diapers, or bring a hot meal to a neighbor for dog food. The battalion is about preparing and caring!
Dig the idea of a barter box. Booze, smokes, and meds will always be in demand. Maybe some candy or chocolate and some batteries. AA's and AAA's could be in need. Perhaps some instant coffee packets too. Battalion!
New subscriber .. I guess I am PCSing to your battalion .. retired US Army 23 years .. got out in 03 .. if you are in the Dallas area I am a couple hours east .. just prior to the LA border .. moved here from Phx in Sep 21 .. been prepping for awhile .. nice little kit suitable for the solving short term issues in the city .. have a great day .. Scott
batteries, bullets, boo boo and booze. these are my mains for emergency type barter supplies. When it comes to WWOL global melt down then I add coffee, tea, sweeteners and spices as well as any other type of creature comforts. lastly I started keeping a seed bank of staples like tomato, carrot, corn, beans, squash. when it comes to feeding ones family after grid down they will be a valuable commodity. great video man. I am new to the channel but really enjoying your content so far! Peace
Dallas Prepper Battalion Those cases do draw attention, I did entertainment rigging for shows and concerts, and carry my rigging gear in a case like that, bigger one with wheels. Been in some areas where I would have to park away from the event location and walk a couple blocks. Downtown Dallas, Dallas Convention Center, Fair Park, Downtown Portland Oregon and Los Angeles. Always get people staring at you with that case and you know they are curious what you've got in there. I grew up in Dallas and Irving but left there when I joined the Army in 84. Went back from 2017 to 2020 doing the entertainment rigging mostly while I was there.
You never include your ladies viewers in your battalion 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ show us a little bit love too your ladies viewers 🤷🏾♀️ keep up the good work and hope to you at the range sometime in the near future. Thanks 😊 all the great content on RUclips channel.
Thanks for the video. Just found a pelican 1470 case at a thrift store and was wondering what I should use it for. Thanks for the idea 💡. glad I'm part of the batalion
i luv pelican cases. I am always concerned with security when it comes to bartering with people. Today they are trading tomorrow they what to take your stuff. Good Vid Keep the Battlion strong
Great idea! I have a case that was used for old PVS 7B'S. I turned it into a gun case, I live north of Dallas and saw fragile the gird is when it got that cold ill be using my case for this
Battalion!!!! Another great video that has me thinking about different bartering items to add to my collection. I’m still going through all of your previous videos and really benefiting from you my friend. Thank you so much for providing excellent content.
Follow me on instagram instagram.com/themarine_x/ and check out my discord discord.gg/qxD4JugW3S
i remember this from 10 months ago looks great and quite more realistic for actual SHTF use.
I’m a New Subscriber also I had help from my youngest son to Follow you on Instagram 😁 I’m here with the Battalion !!
Not going to lie, I first read this as a "portable bar tending" kit. Shows you where my mind is. Great stuff as usual!
lol I read your comment as “potable bear tending kit”

A portable bar tending kit might be useful also
@@jonwalstedt1907 Right?!

Ask the Uyghurs how well the Chinese government is taking care of them.

Got the BATTALION doing trades! Great video 👍
I had never thought of a kit like this. Glad I joined the battalion.
My first battalion visit, I'm liking the bartering kit concept. LGB!
Very nice touch with the cigarettes. Taking a drag after a long day to relieve stress is something some may forget about when things become scarce .
Battalion! I would definitely add some coffee to that kit. Single serve coffee/tea bags would store nicely. Great video.
Hey Marine X, I just discovered your channel yesterday with this video....I am in LOVE with your content.....I joined the BATTALION....You ROCK!!!

I think this a great idea and having this on hand is a game changer.
I got the trading trunk loaded with batteries, matches, first aid, tarps, blunts, liquor, lady products, soap. A bunch of different items. # battalion
Always has some of the best ideas! Battalion
I live in Romania, here we dont have need of this case for trade. And as drink, we have palinca wich is verry stro( aprox 55 ) in any house it may be possible to find drinks of any kind.
But this video as any others from u, i find interesting one.

Even palinca will finish prietene 😁 i have lighters and flashlights lets trade 😂
Just found the battalion. Glad to have found it to. I have most this stuff, just not single pre-packed. Need to grab that stuff too.
Happy to have joined the Battalion and started following on Instagram as well! Keep Rockin'
Thanks for enlightening with a battalion sized barter prep! Useful information!
Just found this channel recently and subscribed to the Battalion right off.
Great idea on the bartering kit, especially on catering it to your neighborhood.
Nice set up. Failure to prepare, is preparing to fail. Battalion!
I love being a part of the battalion and your videos are super educational.

I have items for trading. Never thought of a "kit" or case for mobile trading. Nice info.
Battalion. This is a great idea. I'm already making a list of items I would add to my bartering kit. Thank you.
Loving the new Battalion content. Discovered you a week ago and been binging your videos.
Great idea for the Battalion!
Never thought of a barter kit. I’m a new subscriber and find your videos informative and useful.
Great idea bartering kit might be the most useful thing. Bless the Battalion!
Brother, this is a great idea! I never actually thought of this. I got a case like this from an LRAD which should work perectly!
Great ideas for trading. Also note that we can trade our labor for what we need in a crisis, too. Shovel a driveway for diapers, or bring a hot meal to a neighbor for dog food. The battalion is about preparing and caring!
Hmmmm…had never thought about a bartering kit. Glad to have found the Battalion. Getting some good information and ideas. Thanks for the info!
Great video! Definitely going to build one of these. Battalion.
Pleasure to be apart of the battalion...I most certainly need to get my barter box together. Solid information in all the videos I've viewed. Thanks.
Awesome vid. One recommendation for things like Tylenol. These items have a shelf life, so you need to routinely inspect/replace them.
I just binged a bunch of your videos and I’m happy to join your battalion! Sick content man 🤙
Being a part of the Battalion provides alot of useful info.

Great concept!! I have a couple hard cases I’ve been holding onto from my “battalion“ days, now they will have a purpose. Tks
As a new battalion member, I enjoy your varied ideas. Never thought of using a Pelican case for a barter box. Great idea.
Cigar, Alcohol, and Barter football …. My kind of Battalion!!!

This has to be one of the most crucial & overlooked "PREP" videos I have seen in a long time. Keep the BATTALION strong !
I think it’s a great idea going to look the case up. Go Battalion!!
Great idea! I have a case that was used for old PVS 7B'S. I turned it into a gun case, I live north of Dallas and saw fragile the gird is when it got that cold ill be using my case for this
