To follow up on what to stockpile - from yesterday, don’t you remember - for when doomsday happens, today I though I would give you a few more ideas on what to have to trade. As they - survivalist - say, when SHTF comes, you won’t be able to get what you take for granted.
Cigarettes are good to have, even if you don’t smoke. They will fetch some really important stuff in a trade.
Soap will be important. You may want to get the smelly perfume kind. After a few days, people are going to need it. Just stand upwind from them while you work out a trade.
You are going to need alcohol - not the rubbing kind. It has medicinal value too, like vodka can be used to counteract the reaction to poison ivy. (See yesterday’s blog)
Matches and lighters will become important so keep them dry. As a boy scout, I did learn how to build a fire without matches, but matches work a whole lot faster.
Other items include water bottles, water purifiers, sugar, laundry detergent, bleach, batteries and candles.
From all the articles and documentaries I’ve seen, some folks think ammunition is a good bartering tool. I don’t think so.
The one with the most bullets wins.
