Barter the day after

[caneman]

Think twice about bartering something that can be returned to you from 100 yards away. Bartering ammo that might be shot back isn't good.

My place is the assembly point for my family. It's 30 miles though so it could take them a few days to get here. Wood stove. Neighbor has a backhoe to dig an outhouse pit if it worked after EMP. Might be able to trade for a horse from an Amish neighbor. Lake to auger through for water. Some of hand tools for timber cutting.

Might barter some fishing gear away.

If you're a little handy with tools you might make a bunch of those Coke can alcohol stoves and some plastic bottles w/alcohol as barter material. If you run across some of those waterproof match boxes on sale then fill them with strike anywhere matches for barter.

What you know and can build might be things most sheeple haven't even thought about.

I picked up a dozen backpacks from Sportsmans Guide on a sale. They are daypack size not much bigger than a kids book bag. Gave some to the family for BOB's at Christmas and still have four for barter.

When you are stocking your food supply watch for other things for barter. The old $2 axe in a garage sale etc.
