TP To Barter

TP To Barter

Survivalist and doomsday preppers are working like beavers to get ready for when the world as we know it, ends. I think it is going to be November 6th. I am not really a prepper, but I do try to keep a few things extra, just in case.

One thing that seems to be important is to have something to barter with when the chaos starts - or at least a few days after it starts. Money will not likely have any value, except gold or silver, so if you stock up on an item, you can trade for what you need.

I have chosen toilet paper. Yep, I’m going to fill my attic with toilet paper. It has insulation value and that’s the only place I have any room. We are talking about thousands of rolls. Most people won’t think of their impending need until it’s too late.

As a former cub scout and boy scout tenderfoot, I learned to be prepared. I also learned that if you don’t have toilet paper and you use leaves, don’t use poison ivy or oak. You will get religion if you should make that mistake.

So I am ordering in a truck load of TP. I’ll be the only kid on my block with a supply which should make me very popular.

It will be the first time I was ever popular. And, I will have all those things I forgot to store.
