I always keep asking myself what I would want to barter FOR. As a prepper, over the years I stockpiled all I could think of - but nothing can replace fresh food. I stored plenty of canned food, but I would always prefer fresh food. So what would a farmer want in exchange for his fresh food? I have stored a lot of toilet paper and layed it down in the attic as an insulator to save on heating costs.

I also so the same with all paper products which are stored in the rafters overhead, they are light and easily stored this way, also buying now negates the higher cost down the road….which makes me smile.

Sadly fresh food would be gone within the first 48

Neither my wife nor I drink coffee, so we buy and vacuum seal coffee. If you barter alcohol, pre stock 1oz plastic bottles to "dole-out" your supply. I have been looking for a serviceable treadle sewing machine. I believe one of those would literally be worth their weight in ammunition.

I lived in Mexico for many years and companies still make and sell the treadle machines.

Groshen prepping showed even on FDA website all canned goods will virtually last forever as long as cans not dented, rusted or compromised in any way. So you can keep them past exp date.

In a shtf situation the most valuable thing you can have is good will. If my wife has a serious migraine and someone gives her some pain meds I and my wife will have their back for ever all for the price of some aspirin

I created what I call The Barter Wall. I hit the discount grocery store (an Amish place that also sells in bulk) once a month and always walk away with a lot to add to that wall, every single time. I also budget in $40 for the Dollar Tree every month for hygiene essentials. I even have Ziploc bags already made up for barter. Some even include coffee, tea, and a few harder vices, lol. I made up my own *MREs that line the shelves, already in bags, ready to go (the actual food to rehydrate is in a mylar bag). After a year on the shelves, I rotate them out and replace as needed. I'm very lucky to own a business so I'm able to purchase most of these items wholesale. Makes a huge difference at the end of the day. My barter items are good just to have on hand if we find ourselves in hard time. *I use the Warfighter model for daily caloric intake.

I could never prep alcohol because I'm afraid I would drink it. 10 years clean and sober. Same goes with pop tarts. Every hurricane season, I buy them as a prep and eat them all in 2 weeks.

My wife and I are seniors and will soon be needing help around the house, was thinking about putting together some meal and hygiene kits to swap for work around the house. We keep national brand canned food for ourselves but some of the cheaper brands might be good for bartering. Something to think on...

A good prep are medications and health items to help people go through withdrawals. Blood pressure, tremors, nausea and vomiting, seizures are all common with people going cold turkey. But one of those rat traps that they run up to the top and drop in. People can use them for pest control, but also as a food source. Rat is a common street food I foreign countries and it really isn't that bad. Supplies might also be good to have in bulk.

I began making whiskey at a young age. My grandmother was a bootlegger. Alcohol is highly tradeable and barters well. And its quite inexpensive to do. But it requires some time to learn this skill. Making beer is pretty easy too wine a bit more difficult. Lear, to do all and they will find you.

@phild8095 5 ай бұрын

Yes, you can barter skills. And that can work in both ways. You can barter a week's worth of food and lodging for a week's worth of labor. Or I can earn something with my skills. Can you sharpen a knife better than most people? Don't have a license but can cut hair better than most and have the tools? Can you make soap out of raw materials like fats and ash? Do you have any trades skills? Carpentry, bricklaying, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, welding skills? Any hobbies that will be valuable? Skills can also be taught to apprentices. You can't teach very much to a cigarette lighter. But if you can bake, you can have an apprentice that does the grunt work while learning. Some people even do things like spin wool from local sheep still. Wife and I have a lifetime of skills. painting, carpentry, drywall, some plumbing, some electrical, cooking, baking, gardening, preserving food, sharpening, reloading, engineering, restaurant management, EMT, sewing, crocheting, bicycle maintenance, some bricklaying, landscaping, growing fruit trees, tending grapes, former boy scout, former girl scout leader, gun cleaning, fishing, filleting fish, some butchering, some roofing, some tree trimming and dropping, teaching in public schools and churches, musicians and artists We have people we trade with, eggs, fruit, manure, sawdust, (manure and sawdust go into the compost) and maybe someday a goat or two. Bartering with strangers should be done in the village square where security is present on trading days.

Absolutely should be no different than when you bought them as long as they were stored properly.

Focus on renewables in everything you need. Raise bees because making sugar is just about impossible. Learn to reload learn to make primers and powder. Make a seed vault raise animals produce metal parts. Its a big deal if you can forge steel to make tools etc.

I think ammo will become an issue people back stabbing even close people, if it’s a fallout/civil war situation I think it would turn very bad… maybe having stuff too barter with to get other peoples ammo would be smart to keep yourself safe, but who’s to say you won’t then turn too the outlaw.. I guess having enough and a little bit of everything will keep you on the straight and narrow and not allow you too need to do the same bad already going on. Thanks great video

@mooboo6255 7 ай бұрын

@@Mrblackfox966 all you need is sugar, yeast, and water.. a minimum of five feet of copper water pipe, a bucket (preferred 5 gallon) and an old pressure cooker.. mix water, sugar and water together, wait a week, meanwhile coil part of the water pipe and make a hole near the bottom of the bucket. Place the coil into the bucket with the end poking out of the hole and seal it off with duct tape (use silicone glue if it's on hand) fill with cold water. Place the other end on the pressure cooker (may have to be adapted) place the low grade alcohol/sugar beer into pot, place lid and secure. Turn on heat to medium and run its course. End result depends on how many times you distill it. For me it's usually twice at 80% or 160 proof.
