Thread: barter scenario

  1. #21

    Default

    We live in a part of the country with a rich history of moonshinin' - not that I would ever engage in such an activity. Hiccup.

    Actually - while it is illegal to make and sell grain alcohol - it is legal to make it (U.S.)! " To produce alcohol fuel, the only requirement is a simple permit issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau." Tax credits are available too!

    Great possible alternative fuel to make, use, barter and sip - gotta test it.


    This seems like a pretty good site if you are interested in this....

    Why does your goat need that stuff?

    great ideas guys. i had a much longer list but cut down to just 12. i agree that cigs, alocohol and the mj would probably be good trade items. nell the midland radio has a dynamo charger and the battery packs from the walky talkys can be put into the base unit and charged up. i guess i'll just keep morgan for myself

    I think strawberry shampoo would be good. To make the pygmy goat smell nice anyway.

    No seriously. Keeping clean would be important for preventing infections, and how many people know how to make soap? Soap would be a good barter item. Just dip the whole bar in melted wax and it will keep for years. (Note to self: buy 100 bars of soap after work.)

    Wax can be used to can items (although it's not the recommended methods right now, it can be used to can SOME things). It can also be used to make candles. And preserve soap.

    Funny thing bulrush,I used to show goats around Indiana ,Ohio and Kentucky,and there was a lot of strawberry shampoo floating around to shampoo the bucks with,as it neutralized the stink from them.

    Remember, items like the tobacco, liquor and drugs, might be necessary if someone gets hurt... A real possibility. Tobacco can be used to stop bleeding if you don't have anything like Celox in your kit.
