What do you have for barter?

[Rick]

This is not my own creation but something I found a while back on the net and have kept. I've deleted some links because they no longer work.

Any thing you know how to make that would be useful like black powder, drugs
and weapons

Books on herb uses.
Books on how to survive
Booze

Canning jars and lids
Cigarettes
Chickens, Rooster and eggs
Condoms.

Disposable/cloth diapers
Female hygiene products
Kaidangku

Harmonicas and other small easy to carry musical things.

Cheep knives

Pet supplies, wormers, flea killer, and food
Porn
Pure lead

Seed for growing food Grain seeds. Wheat, barley, oats, rye, sunflower and corn. Herb seeds Culinary and medicinal.

Services making candles, milling grain, sawing lumber, repairing tires, pilot, Ect.

Tools for growing food and making shelters

Your knowledge

Wrist rockets. Very cheap now. Very handy later.

The big thing with trading stock is to have things on hand that you can live without and other can not.




So lets look at the list so far and talk about what would and would not make the best trading stock.

Brewing yeast and beer/wine making supplies- If you traded off your Brewing yeast and then others will be able to make there own beer and wine. You would be better off to make the beer and wine and trade it.

Pet supplies, wormers, flea killer, and food.- Dogs and cats are live stock AKA FOOD

Bread yeast- see brewing yeast. It would be best to make the bread and trade it.

Honey- only if you can replace what you trade off. In other words you have bee hives.

Ammo- If trade ammo to others the you could run the risk some day it will be used to take what you have away from you. Trade to get ammo.

Antibiotics. Antibacterial ointment. First aid supplies.- This is something that you may not be able to replace. Only trade it off if the person has something tat you need and can not get an other way.

Condoms- may not be the best time to start a baby they also have other uses.

Herb seeds- Do not trade off the seeds trade off dried herbs that you have grown with the seed then you control the supply.

Grain seeds- Do not trade off the seeds. Make bread and other foods from it and trade it off.

Wrist rockets- How about making sling shots and using them for trade stock.
Salt- only if you can replace it or trade it only for things you can not get any other way.

Chickens & egg.- Trade off the eggs not the chickens. As the numbers of roster that you have starts to increase then you can trade the extras for things that you can not get any other way. But ONLY trade off the rosters that way you control the source of eggs.

Candles. Oil for lanterns. Wick. Wax- Only if you can replace what you are trading off.

Water purification tablets- See Candles

Bleach. Laundry soap.- See Candles
Shampoo.- See Candles

Cigarettes, Booze, drugs & porn- Are all addictive and you can use that addiction to your advantage. This is something none of us need and we cane live with out but there are some that would pass up food for a smoke.

Female hygiene products- there are substitutes for this product that other may not know about. Use there ignorance against them to get a higher price. You could also make reusable products them and trade them off in our disposable society a lot of people will not understand the concept of reusable at least not a first. Here is a link for you all to look at http://lunapads.com/

disposable diapers- You do not need disposable diapers for a baby for that matter you do need diapers at all. And here are some links to back up what I am saying, and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eliminationcommunication/ Also see-Female hygiene products.

Cheep knives- I have been buying cheep snap off to sharpen knives for .33c each and putting them back. I do not see them as a weapon that can be used against me to get what I have.

Tools for growing food and making shelters- If you do not have a forge get or make one then you can make tools.

Seed for growing food- only trade off seeds for things that you can not get any other way. and never trade off grain seeds. You would be better off to trade off the food you grow then you would the seeds to grow it.

Pure lead- Pure lead dose not make very good bullets unless they are for muzzleloaders. Also see- Cheep knives

Your knowledge and Books on how to survive- If you can make paper you can write your own books to trade off. You could also teach classes for a price.

Any thing you know how to make that would be useful like black powder, weapons and tools- This is why you need a forge.

Heck yeah, I'll have employment at the end of the world!

[wareagle69]

holy crap ...who puts all that in their pack

[Rick]

Must have been an oversight.........but I didn't forget YOU

Uh, yeah. Oversight. That's it.

It's not for your pack, duffus. It's barter items. You can keep half stored in bunker 2 East and the other half in bunker 4 South. Just don't store the matches with the gasoline. You know how you are.

[Amazon]

Most of the lady preppers I talk with agree that salt, spices and flavorings will be good bartering items when SHTF.

I made a bridal gown for a wedding in return for 50 lbs of good beef. DH recently repaired a transmission and in return got an engine for his race car. Bartering is nothing new to us and with the economy it is a great option these days.

[tennecedar]

Thank you Rick that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm already making a list from the suggestions everyone has posted. I think this summer I'll consentrate on primitive tools to take the place of all my power tools that won't have electricity to run them. I need to learn how to use them anyway. No time like the present.

[hoosierarcher]

Just throw some mothballs in with those blankers or might not have any when you need them.

Each blanket is in a vacuum sealed plastic bag with red cedar shavings within the folds. That is a natural moth repellant that smells good.(unlike moth balls)

[crashdive123]

That's a great way to store em. And you're right - don't need to air them out.

[Madrox]

i pick up a few extra small things here and there that I know I wont need\want. Mainly little things of coffee, extra beer (don't drink it) and other "creature comforts" I know people will want to trade.

[Smok]

I would think that ply wood , nails , rope and blue tarps would be real handy

[Alpine_Sapper]

I don't know if any of the other (ex) smokers have mentioned this, but tobacco is a HORRIBLE item to stock for a TEOTWAWKI or TSHTF scenario as a barter item. Tobacco goes STALE. For those of you that smoke, have you ever been jonesing for a smoke, and not had any cash? After frantically hunting the house for an hour or so you remember last year when you were drunk and dropped a cigarette in the car. so you go tear your car apart to find the blessed nicotine. it's broke. no problem. you split it with another piece of rolling paper. You light it, anticapating that sweet taste of your favorite brand. You inhale...and it's gone. It was so stale it didn't even make it through the first three puffs. Or you didn't, because it was so stale it choked you.

At this point, if I still smoked, and I had barted for those cigarettes, I'd turn around and shoot you. not because you ripped me off. I'm sure I could explain the situation and probably reverse the exchange since you had an inferior product. It's more because when nicotine junkies start fiending they can be as bad as crackheads or heroin addicts.

My point in all this? (Holy cripes, he had a point?) Please keep cigars and cigarettes or roll your own tobacco in a humidifier, or vacuum sealed in the freezer. As for as dip, I have no idea, but I bet the shelf life is pretty lengthy.

[Kankujoe]

This is an interesting thread. Let me tie this into a thread we had a couple of months ago about stealing to survive. Just about everyone said sure the would.

So now you barter one of your wool blankets or five cans of veggies or whatever and that guy tells another then another and the next thing you know everyone in the area knows you have blankets or veggies or whatever. It might have been the last ones you had but they don't know that. So, one evening, they come knocking. Yeah, I know, you have all this fire power. Trouble is they did to. Only they had a scope on theirs. Your family will mourn your passing.

I don't stockpile to trade with anyone. That's not my primary concern. I'll trade my skills but not my supplies. I'd just as soon no one know what I have.

I used to just be paranoid but now I'm paranoid that I'm not paranoid enough.

I agree with this 100%... unless you personally know and trust your trading partner you are asking for trouble... and it may come from many different directions...

When/if things get bad enough to rely on bartering people will be pretty desperate (especially those who have made no preps) and will have no problem just trying to take what they want (or perceive what you have) to provide for their own...

[trax]

[hmmm, let's see....I got a swiss army knife, a yo-yo and a ball of string. Oh and half a pack of Juicy Fruit gum. You want me to go see what I got in the truck? Did I misunderstand the original question?

What do you have for barter? let's go, let's get it rolling here....

oh and by the way...the yo-yo is a maelstrom by spintastics...so don't tell me Not letting that puppy go for just anything

[grundle]

simple solution -- keep your tobacco in a ziploc bag. Add a little moisture every few months. I have some pipe tobacco that is about a year old. Still moist and gives me a great smoke. I don't have a humidor, just that darn ziploc bag

I don't smoke much so that solution saves me from having to buy a new bag of tabac every time I have a hankering. Plus if it starts to dry out you can "refresh" it with some moisture and wait a few days.

[Ole WV Coot]

I guess my charm, pleasing personality and the ability to comfort ladies. If that BS don't work I would go for things I can do reasonably well. I can do most trades, block, brickwork, knives, booze, repair anything but a broken heart or the crack of dawn. Yep, I would barter my skills and I also have a Swiss army knife and a roll of mints in my pocket.

[Rick]

I can repair anything but a broken heart or the crack of dawn.

You're a classic.

[Ole WV Coot]

You're a classic.

Classic means you're old don't it? Either way, Thanks I guess
