I believe I have plenty of extra bartering material..... good to go!

 

[adam sr]

I think that I have a lot of barterting . I work in construction and do remodeling have all kinds of nails and screws and tools. Lots of ammo not going to give up any guns.

I have lots of ammo . Don't need to barter.

Ammo is a great currency. Also lots of medications for basic ailments. They are necessary and will come handy. However, I don't think we'll reach that far. The pandemic will be over soon with all the efforts that everyone is paying.

Good article! I think, in our present situation, having extra cash laying around is probably the most sensible. However, that won't always be the case and it would behoove us to be alert and prepared for other economic and social changes.

Good article! I am not a prepper per say but I am prepared for a lot of things. Being an Eagle Scout and Scout leader I try to lead by example of "Be Prepared", the Scout motto. Though I cannot carry my weapon when I am on company property I do have other EDC supplies with me along with meds and stuff for my diabetes.

I am prepared to do bartering if it comes down to it. I have some very desirable skill sets and equipment.

meds and stuff for my diabetes.

In a complete grid down situation, you're only going to last as long as your meds

One point, you may want to humker down locally and not give in to the "cabin in the mountains" hours away. Good solid friends you can rely on are better than close relatives thousands of miles away.

Gotta wonder about trading ammo to someone who might use that same ammo on you. I know…paranoid thinking and all, but…

I am perfectly willing to trade ammo. One shot at a time.

Being prepared is virtually all about knowing how to do things, not piling things up in your basement.

True…but the things piled up in the basement SURE help make it easier. Besides my Lazy Boy isn’t in the basement!

When the shtf, we will go back to the barter system. Things like ammo, alcohol and medicine will be prime items to use.
