My wife thinks I’m nuts for not bringing all of the kid’s now-too-small clothing to Goodwill. It ends up bagged and binned in the attic. I imagine some farmer will be glad to trade some food for some decent clothing for his kids.

While part of me is reminded of the “storing up treasures on earth where moths can get them”, the other part of me is reminded of Joseph having Pharaoh stash away 7 years of supplies and build some dams.

During the Iraq invasion, there was an article on how bad it was in places. Power was out, so out came the ancient bread cooking ovens. No fuel, so they burned old clothes to make bread.
But clothing will make good trade - even if just to make quilts.
