With God i feel our needs will be met. Reminds me of verse where God says not to think on tommorow. Children of israel in wilderness 40yrs and there clothes nor shoes ever wore out!! Im prepared for anyghing that may come death or famine. God bless all.
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors Justin it's good to be aware of our situation of these days we live in. Having good godly people that can fellowship and worship /work / farm / protect together . This has been in back of my mind for awhile.
That makes a lot of sense, the mark of the beast being a willing decision. I fully believe that God gave us free Will and that if that free Will is taken from us, God does not hold us accountable for being fooled, more especially because Jesus gave his life so that we may be forgiven. I’m glad you touched on that.
I've always thought the ATF would go from being a government organization to highly sought after trade items in an apocalypse type scenario. That alcohol can also be used as fuel, if you could make a near continuous run, you could power a small generator (with a little modification to the carb to readjust to alcohol stoichiometry) and run a fridge or freezer, or if someone was life dependent on something that requires electricity that would be a huge commodity. I kind of jokingly say tobacco because so many people are basically dependent on it, but it does also provide some medicinal uses, and then all things firearms related should go without saying. We have a few ponds on our property so I always figured we'd have a back up plan if hunting and fishing came up short on the protein end of the spectrum. A big one I had just thought about since the train derailment would be clean water or a way to make dirty water clean (charcoal I suppose)
Thats why i drilled me a well last year. Every thing in that well has been well filtered . Now if something contaminates that water i dont figure a filter will be any good. Lot of ifs but i gel better with a well in place
I learned in sales that if people can imagine themselves using it they will buy it. I think that's why a fishing kit is in the handle of all the "survival knives".. Ideal money is lightweight, portable and divisable. So fish hooks,mostly small to medium size, would be high on my list of barter goods. A bunch of small zip lock bags with 10 hooks per bag would be something people would trade for. Same for 22 ammo. Nails , galvanized, 8's and 12's will fix or build most things. Skills is high on my list. Cans of roofing tar to fix roofs might come in handy. It lasts nearly forever. Fixes or seals lots of things People are going to need things fixed. All kinds of tools. Are useful and extras are tradeable.

In the big city I have to swap: painkillers. They are waterproof, light and small.sorry if googl doesn't translate well, i can't speak english.many thanks.(i was looking for wild lettuce for medicine online for 2 years. got it this year and planted it in a large planter on the balcony), not just as a city.and in our country, where everything healthy has been slowly disappearing since the 70s, and nowadays procurement is difficult.That's why I've been buying a lot of wild seeds of healthy wild herbs for the last 3 years. I can't do much but it calms me down.Thanks
For sure something to ponder. Gonna need food, so you are right about tools especially gardening tools and salt for preservation of food , so that is high on the list. Going to need to fend for yourself first and then if you have anything to trade, that's a bonus.
Justian i have been handloading since 1967, i have a few boolits, of all calibers. and reloading components and enough black powder to last a while, and 1000 pounds or so of lead and a lot of molds. i think that would also be valuable.
I know the "can't buy or sell our pay real estate taxes " time is coming. But I think war and lots of hard times are coming first. I don't worry much about me. Yahs hand is over me. I will be fine no matter what comes. But I want to be in a position so I can help others. That's why I prepare as best I can.
It makes you think brother. Maybe what we need it's gonna bring respect and fellowship again. When we all pull together your hard to stop. But we're gonna lose massive amount of people
Canning supplies, lead, fishing supplies, seeds, reloading supplies, archery supplies, clothing, farming tools , rechargeable batteries , sewing items, One big one above all containers for water and purification supplies or tools for such. Many things a fellow could have in living day to day . One thing is a man's morality, and faith being trustworthy will go a long ways when comes to barter type situation!!
I aint read through the comments, just skimmed a few, so dont know if its been addressed, but antibiotics has gotta be up there. I hoard fish antibiotics like penicillin, bactrium, amoxicillin, etc. I did see where people said they would barter ammunition. Sorry, but I’m not trading someone ammunition so they could potentially use that against me and/or my community. Seeds is up there with me, as well as tools for trade. Tools such as axe, hatchet, hoe are high on list. Tarps are cheap to buy and hoard and people that have no skills to build will want them . Skills would be something I will look at as far as bringing someone into our community.
I don’t know about five things but I have thought about this some. I believe that people will need to grow food so garden tools like rakes and hos drying racked that sort of stuff will be in demand
Bullets,fuel,alcohol, salt,seeds,been,flour,cornmeal,coffee,tea I'd have me a meat grinder and slicer hand powered , some oil burners for heat and lannerns , easy to fuel .
Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, wine, hard cider, vinegar, dried fruit, wheat flour, sourdough, home canned and pickled vegetables, medicinal herbs and herbal remedies. All from a half acre. Hand sharpening services, because some people just can't do it. And the flour, our hand grinder is limited capacity, so that's gonna be interesting. We garden, have been planting apple and plum trees, blueberries, blackberries, aronia berries, grapes, next year we plant elderberries and a test bed of wheat. Been using the same sourdough starter for a couple years now. Wife has been making various salves, tinctures and stuff. She's had chickens, and wasn't happy with the idea. I do some bicycle maintenance, I've done some teaching, machining, bricklaying and engineering. Wife has been an EMT, hospice giver, restaurant cook, head chef and manager. We both shoot, I reload, maintain the firearms. I ruck 1,100 miles a year lately every morning for exercise. I just picked up an "eggbeater" hand drill at a yard sale last weekend and restored it yesterday. We are past the novice stage of turning rocks into decorations and jewelry. Got a buddy with chickens and goats, he'll be tapping maple trees in the spring, he also has grapes, apples, plums and pears. His wife cans. Got another buddy with horses, he'll be bartering horses and a taxi service. Got another buddy who is a beginning blacksmith. He's getting there. Got another buddy with a wood lot. Lots of trees on 40 acres that he is tending. They don't just grow, you have to clear some, replant some... This village will need someone to tan leather, another to make shoes, someone to grow hemp for clothing and rope, someone to make thread and yarn from the hemp and goats, (need some sheep in the village)(heck, we will use dog hair to make woolen clothing if we have to) someone to turn that into cloth, cord and rope. We will need someone to distill alcohol, someone to make fine tools for weaving, woodworkers, cabinet makers, traders to go to other villages and even to the coast to get salt. At least there's plenty of steel around to work with. The blacksmith will need an apprentice to man the bellows, make the charcoal. Eventually a glass maker and potter will be needed. We have limestone, we will need a lime kiln. And we will need some strong backs to dig and crush the limestone. (if you don't know why we need a lime kiln think mortar for bricks, water purification, pickling lime, waste disposal, paper making, ink additive, lime soap lubricant, soil amendment and the list goes on ) We will need a stone mason so that we can have a reasonable grain mill. And that grain mill will need the services of the tool maker, the cabinet maker, the carpenter, the blacksmith and others to build the mill on the river where it used to be. Maybe a brick maker too. Yes, will need bricks for the lime kiln. And an ash collector because ash contains valuable chemicals. We will need several wells and outhouses dug. They will need to be placed in such a way that the wells are not contaminated. We need someone to make buckets. And someone to make shingles and buttons and re-handle garden tools. We will need a butcher. And someone to grind the bones so that they get used as a soil amendment. A side mill off the grain mill? Hooves get turned into glue. That stuff will be precious, we won't have a lot of it. We don't have a good supply of natural sulfur, so wither sulfur or gunpowder will eventually a trade item along with sea salt. Saltpeter With all these skilled trades people we will eventually get back to having some form of money in the village, so we will eventually need a banker. And to access the books on these things in the library we will need a couple educators. The cabinet maker and the tool maker will need to team up to build the equipment to make paper. Oh, we will need someone to make a reasonable ink. At least we have some locust bean trees in town to make the thickening agent. And we need a doctor. A baker. A sheriff. A trading post. Someone to maintain the streets. Deliver the mail. We will need someone to maintain the kids microscope used by the doctor and the well inspector. Someday we will need a lens maker. A bow maker, arrow makers. Yah, I've thought about this. Even started some fiction about it. What's it gonna look like when the level of sustainable technology in this country suddenly reverts back to 17th and 18th century and most of those skills are forgotten. See how complicated life gets just making a village from 1817. Oh, by the way, many of these jobs that will need to be done is how we get last names like Butcher, Fletcher, Boyer, Weaver, Spinner, Baker, Mason, MIller, Cooper, Fisher and so on. That's how important they are to civilization. But for the village not to become a ghost town we need most of these occupations, and we will need trade goods to send to the gulf coast for salt and gunpowder. And that's different from personal bartering. My bet is we send grains, dried meats, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs on the hoof, flour, burlap, lime, but the trading will likely involve multiple directions to get salt and black powder back to rural Iowa. See how much I've thought about this? Trade fairs of Medieval Europe, science of the 18th century, village life of the 19th century, if it goes down hard, this is where we will be. About three generations after the Great Reset the Second Renaissance starts somewhere and electricity and communication starts to flow again. Things that only grandparents remember start to spread. At least there's plenty of steel to work with.
one other thing Justin, as far as making moon, i think if you are fairly certain this is coming, and i know it is, just buy a few cases of cheap whiskey now. because even now corn, rye is hard to get, just think about how hard it and sugar will be to come by then! i am a preacher, teacher, and i have not had a drink since 1994, but if it was for self-preservation i would have no problem using it for good, and i don't think God would either,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree God has no problem with using it for intended good purposes. I can make it from corn but your right sugar will be the trick for me. I may stash a little sugar and grains before long. Im not much on hoarding things in a prepper mentality but i do see where have enough supplies till you get a system in place will be important
In my experience in austere environments food clean water and medical are the top 3 usually food is number 1 water is 2 unless they need medication then it jumps to #1
Chicken eggs, strong alcohol, tobacco, seeds, and marijuana. I really don't think people's going to be wanting to trade their ammo they're going to want to keep what they got I'm sure some trades will be used with ammo but this will be used for high-value trades
It will depend on what they get in a bind for. Let a man get sick and need some medicine he dont know how to make and he will trade his most valuable possessions. Just look how high doctor bills are and no one bats an eye
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors yes sir medical supplies you're right about that somebody get a vicious virus or their kid they would give up everything they own for some good antibiotics I'm glad I'm stocked up fish antibiotics
I own a treadle powered sewing machine. I can rent that out to people who can sew or hire a seamstress to make clothes, menstruation pads and diapers. I have a long list of skills to trade with. I grow food and raise chickens and quail for eggs. I grow Cannabis legally and can trade seeds, clones, baked goods, infused oil and live rosin ( i got a press) as well as the flower. Being a bicycle mechanic means I will be very busy in the future. Speaking of the future, I read Tarot (over 40 years experience). I recently bought a 50 pound anvil to go with my portable forge. I also bought a 6 quart Dutch Oven. I can cook just about anything in a Dutch oven. What am I seeing in those cards of mine?
Transverse mountain range on the West Coast. Will harvest salt and kelp from the ocean for trade. (kelp is excellent for fertilizer, feed and human consumption) I am already processing green clay(bentonite) and exchanging it for veterinary care with horses. In exchange for taking care of horses I am provided pretty much everything I need, housing, utilities, Internet etc. The only monthly bill I receive is for phone. Barter lifestyle works for me
Interesting question… If shtf I think there’s only one bartering item. Everything else is by the grace of God… 1- skills / making… soap, fuel, alcohol, medicine, sea-salt, spices, black tea, ammo, spinning wool, food, pure water, shelter, etc… 2- creativity 3- motivation 4- heart 5- Faith 🙏
No one mentioned fire. I guess fire could fall under different categories. Building a fire is certainly a skill. But on a cold wet day, you may be in a situation where you could barter with a burning coal from your own fire. 🤷♀️
Medications, of all types, . So many aren't going to make when they don't have certain types of life supportive drugs . Diabetic insulin being very high for some.
Yea but nobody is legally gonna be able to get them and thats where we are gonna start losing loved ones. This aint gonna be pretty when it happens. Hopefully it never will
@@larryalexander4833 bee keepers gonna be in good shape to barter. Ive thought about getting some bees just to pollinate the garden. We have in hive but no way to rob it. I need one i can rob
A lot of people would go nuts without cigarettes. And I think a good knowledge of plants and medicine made from them. Medical training would be good but also a liability if something went wrong.
Im sorry son but the mark has been going on for a long time. Social security and welfare is the beginning, I know, a bunch of people dis agree and thats ok. We are so dependent on the government that most people cant make it without the hand outs. Old folks and handycapped folks are not able to survive by themselves. Im 73 and i know that i couldnt do the things i used to. Love your channel , preach the word and love your neighbor. Thanks for your videos.
Justin, I think you have an Excellent idea about a community. I’m not sure if you ladies have thought about this. Ladies, you need to learn how to take up a pistol and knife whatever it might be a single woman alone is a prime candidate until you can get to a safe place kind of like what Justin is talking about the community. Just my thoughts, because I am one of those single ladies however, I’ve been taught very well from a young age. I do apologize if I have offended anyone with my comment.
👍👍👍 Im try'n to catch up on your older vids,every little bit helps,right... Im not sure im willing to barter to much. Skills/knowledge/time#1 , alcohol#2(nothing easier than a drunk to deal with)... Wont part with anything i may need in the future,4 generations of hand me down here,knowledge&wisdom included... Ill help anybody best i can but if things get to far out there... Guess ill trade lead,ill keep the brass 👍👍👍
can throw crushed mullein seeds into water and it'll stun the fish so you can just pull em off the top, from what i hear. Course if everyone does it, or if it's done more than ~once a year, there won't be any fish left xD the cheap bags of powdered potatos will probably be worth a helluva lot as well lol Magnets and copper wire might be good too. Just rotate a magnet around a copper wire and you've got a motor making electricity. maybe fidget spinners or wheels as well, since they make it pretty easy. Dunno how to apply it practically yet though, besides maybe starting a fire.
idk about anywhere else but where i live in texas i dont recon we will run out of wild hogs since their already trying to get rid of them and aint gaining any ground so i could barter smoked meat since i got several hog traps i know alot of folks that hunt hogs but wont eat them now but i do my next item would be the skill of being able to make handles for tools hoes rakes shovels etc im not the best at making arrows but i have dabbled in it some i cann meat and garden veggies ive even got a wood fired canner for water bathing and have studied on how the amish waterbath meat n such but i store coffee i grow a bush called yaupon its the only caffenated plant that grows in north america naturally and you make a tea out of it
I think about any thing doing with food or drink would be on top,skills, bibles and how to do books of any kind, shoes,boots ,tools, guns and ammo of any kind,any building stuff ,oils and gas and fuel of any kind,sewing kits any kind,💯👍🙏💪👂👀
Unless world becomes single men bartering items 1.condoms...2.antibiotics..3.scissors ,sail needles,button compasses...4.ferrocerium rods...5.home made trapping devices for small game rodents act and fish hooks
Does His Word not say, "to be absent from this body is to be present with The Lord."? Many things have been fulfilled already that people refuse to face & admit. Brother's & Sister's in Christ rejoice, unbelievers & sinners repent The Day Of The Lord is @ hand
Ill be honest with you if i got something you need I wouldn’t take gold because i have no use for it. It serves no purpose in my day to day life and you try to trade much of it it throws flags
Yeah……naw, our community is prepared for evil doers. But if someone is just trying to feed their starving children we are prepared to take them in. They can work within the community, probably gardening in exchange for food and shelter.
@@backwoodshomestead482 you have the right mindset. I agree if they wanna help and need help im gonna do my best because strong community will last longer. But like you if they gonna meanness on their mind we are prepared
Tea candles. Small, never go bad,
Costs about 5 cents each. Burn for 5 hours. A little bit of light is a morale builder in a dark world.
Id agree on that
1. Knowing how to make black powder 2. Good flintlock smooth bore gun. 3. Knowledge of canning 4.blacksmithing 5.seeds for gardens
Better not trade off that gun
Where are you getting your sulfur? Saltpeter is easy enough. Charcoal is simple.
I think 1. Skills 2. Seeds 3. Salt 4. Tools 5. Ammunition. Depends on the situation but if people were fighting each other in 2020 over toilet paper there's no telling what would happen if they couldn't get anything from town.
Yea when food gets scarce you gonna see some bad things. Ill mever forget the man killing his sister in New Orleans during Katrina over ice

With all these skilled trades people we will eventually get back to having some form of money in the village, so we will eventually need a banker.
And to access the books on these things in the library we will need a couple educators. The cabinet maker and the tool maker will need to team up to build the equipment to make paper. Oh, we will need someone to make a reasonable ink. At least we have some locust bean trees in town to make the thickening agent.
And we need a doctor. A baker. A sheriff. A trading post. Someone to maintain the streets. Deliver the mail. We will need someone to maintain the kids microscope used by the doctor and the well inspector. Someday we will need a lens maker. A bow maker, arrow makers.
Yah, I've thought about this. Even started some fiction about it. What's it gonna look like when the level of sustainable technology in this country suddenly reverts back to 17th and 18th century and most of those skills are forgotten.
See how complicated life gets just making a village from 1817. Oh, by the way, many of these jobs that will need to be done is how we get last names like Butcher, Fletcher, Boyer, Weaver, Spinner, Baker, Mason, MIller, Cooper, Fisher and so on. That's how important they are to civilization.
But for the village not to become a ghost town we need most of these occupations, and we will need trade goods to send to the gulf coast for salt and gunpowder. And that's different from personal bartering. My bet is we send grains, dried meats, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs on the hoof, flour, burlap, lime, but the trading will likely involve multiple directions to get salt and black powder back to rural Iowa.
See how much I've thought about this? Trade fairs of Medieval Europe, science of the 18th century, village life of the 19th century, if it goes down hard, this is where we will be. About three generations after the Great Reset the Second Renaissance starts somewhere and electricity and communication starts to flow again. Things that only grandparents remember start to spread. At least there's plenty of steel to work with.
You have it pretty well figured out .
one other thing Justin, as far as making moon, i think if you are fairly certain this is coming, and i know it is, just buy a few cases of cheap whiskey now. because even now corn, rye is hard to get, just think about how hard it and sugar will be to come by then! i am a preacher, teacher, and i have not had a drink since 1994, but if it was for self-preservation i would have no problem using it for good, and i don't think God would either,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree God has no problem with using it for intended good purposes. I can make it from corn but your right sugar will be the trick for me. I may stash a little sugar and grains before long. Im not much on hoarding things in a prepper mentality but i do see where have enough supplies till you get a system in place will be important
In my experience in austere environments food clean water and medical are the top 3 usually food is number 1 water is 2 unless they need medication then it jumps to #1
I feel like that will be the initial case here.
If they’ll trap a doe, they CAN trap a you too. Hunting could get ridiculously dangerous!!!
If it gets to where food is scarce yes it will get very dangerous
Skills and knowledge for sure, It's something you won't run out of. And that could cover lot's of subjects that will be needed.
Im hoping mine pay off
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors I'm sure they will.
Chicken eggs, strong alcohol, tobacco, seeds, and marijuana. I really don't think people's going to be wanting to trade their ammo they're going to want to keep what they got I'm sure some trades will be used with ammo but this will be used for high-value trades
It will depend on what they get in a bind for. Let a man get sick and need some medicine he dont know how to make and he will trade his most valuable possessions. Just look how high doctor bills are and no one bats an eye
Yes sugar, coffee, and especially salt I didn't think of salt
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors yes sir medical supplies you're right about that somebody get a vicious virus or their kid they would give up everything they own for some good antibiotics I'm glad I'm stocked up fish antibiotics
I own a treadle powered sewing machine. I can rent that out to people who can sew or hire a seamstress to make clothes, menstruation pads and diapers. I have a long list of skills to trade with. I grow food and raise chickens and quail for eggs. I grow Cannabis legally and can trade seeds, clones, baked goods, infused oil and live rosin ( i got a press) as well as the flower. Being a bicycle mechanic means I will be very busy in the future. Speaking of the future, I read Tarot (over 40 years experience). I recently bought a 50 pound anvil to go with my portable forge. I also bought a 6 quart Dutch Oven. I can cook just about anything in a Dutch oven. What am I seeing in those cards of mine?
Consider the climate your in too. Socks, coats, jackets, hats, gloves, hardware, nails, screws, bolts, just some of the things Ive been adding.
Good video. Something to think about. How about ammo, matches/Bic lighters, canned goods?
What about ham radio or other forms of radio communication would be important to have
Yes it would be great to have but are you gonna trade it? Unless you have several wit means of powering them
Transverse mountain range on the West Coast.
Will harvest salt and kelp from the ocean for trade.
(kelp is excellent for fertilizer, feed and human consumption)
I am already processing green clay(bentonite) and exchanging it for veterinary care with horses.
In exchange for taking care of horses I am provided pretty much everything I need,
housing, utilities, Internet etc.
The only monthly bill I receive is for phone.
Barter lifestyle works for me
Amen Brother, I also make healing salves from cotton wood tree buds, and I also Make my own 160 proof moonshine Love the Vid !😎
Thank you my friend
Probably non material things, knowledge, help, communication, compassion, annnnnd?????
Leather craftsman would be good if the cattle wasn’t killed of in the first month or so , or a Taylor, would you like a coat ?
Invest in precious metals, especially copper jacketed lead.
Ive got molds and raw lead stocked
Interesting question…
If shtf I think there’s only one bartering item. Everything else is by the grace of God…
1- skills / making… soap, fuel, alcohol, medicine, sea-salt, spices, black tea, ammo, spinning wool, food, pure water, shelter, etc…
2- creativity
3- motivation
4- heart
5- Faith
🙏
Its gonna take all of that with some serious dedication and will to live im sure
No one mentioned fire. I guess fire could fall under different categories. Building a fire is certainly a skill. But on a cold wet day, you may be in a situation where you could barter with a burning coal from your own fire. 🤷♀️
I tell you what . I bet if a feller overslept and let the fire go out he got a good end striping
Medications, of all types, . So many aren't going to make when they don't have certain types of life supportive drugs . Diabetic insulin being very high for some.
Yea but nobody is legally gonna be able to get them and thats where we are gonna start losing loved ones. This aint gonna be pretty when it happens. Hopefully it never will
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors yes sir !! Let's pray to the Lord Almighty this is not so. .
I didn't say this earlier but one thing to have for many things for food , medical purposes and last many years is raw Honey.!
@@larryalexander4833 bee keepers gonna be in good shape to barter. Ive thought about getting some bees just to pollinate the garden. We have in hive but no way to rob it. I need one i can rob
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors my neighbor use too he knows how. If the ones you have now they can be transferred to a hive . Got to catch the queen first
A lot of people would go nuts without cigarettes. And I think a good knowledge of plants and medicine made from them.
Medical training would be good but also a liability if something went wrong.
Im sorry son but the mark has been going on for a long time. Social security and welfare is the beginning, I know, a bunch of people dis agree and thats ok. We are so dependent on the government that most people cant make it without the hand outs. Old folks and handycapped folks are not able to survive by themselves. Im 73 and i know that i couldnt do the things i used to. Love your channel , preach the word and love your neighbor. Thanks for your videos.
Skills, water , food, protection, communication
Justin, I think you have an Excellent idea about a community. I’m not sure if you ladies have thought about this. Ladies, you need to learn how to take up a pistol and knife whatever it might be a single woman alone is a prime candidate until you can get to a safe place kind of like what Justin is talking about the community.
Just my thoughts, because I am one of those single ladies however, I’ve been taught very well from a young age. I do apologize if I have offended anyone with my comment.
You know ive not thought about this really but it could get bad for you ladies in this sex crazed culture we live in
👍👍👍 Im try'n to catch up on your older vids,every little bit helps,right... Im not sure im willing to barter to much. Skills/knowledge/time#1 , alcohol#2(nothing easier than a drunk to deal with)... Wont part with anything i may need in the future,4 generations of hand me down here,knowledge&wisdom included... Ill help anybody best i can but if things get to far out there... Guess ill trade lead,ill keep the brass 👍👍👍
The top in demand items will be food and clothing.
Problem is the people seeking food won't have anything to offer except violence.
can throw crushed mullein seeds into water and it'll stun the fish so you can just pull em off the top, from what i hear. Course if everyone does it, or if it's done more than ~once a year, there won't be any fish left xD
the cheap bags of powdered potatos will probably be worth a helluva lot as well lol
Magnets and copper wire might be good too. Just rotate a magnet around a copper wire and you've got a motor making electricity. maybe fidget spinners or wheels as well, since they make it pretty easy. Dunno how to apply it practically yet though, besides maybe starting a fire.
Black walnuts will bring up fish i think
oh forgot to mention the fish thing is technically illegal as far as i know xD
@@ETHANR26 same here
1-skills 2-cordage 3-fire starter- 4 axe 5 water
Skills,Seeds, salt, snare wire, gill nets
That is a good list
idk about anywhere else but where i live in texas i dont recon we will run out of wild hogs since their already trying to get rid of them and aint gaining any ground so i could barter smoked meat since i got several hog traps i know alot of folks that hunt hogs but wont eat them now but i do my next item would be the skill of being able to make handles for tools hoes rakes shovels etc im not the best at making arrows but i have dabbled in it some i cann meat and garden veggies ive even got a wood fired canner for water bathing and have studied on how the amish waterbath meat n such but i store coffee i grow a bush called yaupon its the only caffenated plant that grows in north america naturally and you make a tea out of it
Bourbon, Beans, Bacon, Bullets, and Bible. Prioritized in reverse order.
Number 1 water 2 way to purify water 3 salt sugar 4 dry goods 5 tobacco for trade
1 coffee 2 water 3 ammo 4 firearms 5 perimeter defenses grenades
Skills, ammunition, medical supplies, seeds, matches
I think about any thing doing with food or drink would be on top,skills, bibles and how to do books of any kind, shoes,boots
,tools, guns and ammo of any kind,any building stuff ,oils and gas and fuel of any kind,sewing kits any kind,💯👍🙏💪👂👀
Unless world becomes single men bartering items 1.condoms...2.antibiotics..3.scissors ,sail needles,button compasses...4.ferrocerium rods...5.home made trapping devices for small game rodents act and fish hooks
I think you will have to protect the things that you have when ever it happens. There are people that will kill you now for little of nothing
Yea no doubt your gonna fight looters . To many entitled folks used to being handed too
Antibiotics… antibiotics… antibiotics… antibiotics… and antibiotics. You WILL give me anything I want in exchange for antibiotics.
Medicinal plants
Cigarettes for one.
Does His Word not say, "to be absent from this body is to be present with The Lord."? Many things have been fulfilled already that people refuse to face & admit. Brother's & Sister's in Christ rejoice, unbelievers & sinners repent The Day Of The Lord is @ hand
It’s always gold
Ill be honest with you if i got something you need I wouldn’t take gold because i have no use for it. It serves no purpose in my day to day life and you try to trade much of it it throws flags
Sugar
Dont think you'll be bartering. Rioters will be taking and stealing.
Only the first few then they gonna want to barter
Yeah……naw, our community is prepared for evil doers. But if someone is just trying to feed their starving children we are prepared to take them in. They can work within the community, probably gardening in exchange for food and shelter.
@@backwoodshomestead482 you have the right mindset. I agree if they wanna help and need help im gonna do my best because strong community will last longer. But like you if they gonna meanness on their mind we are prepared
That’s when community strength comes into play , 4 or 5 good buggies with the right gear can hold down a lot
