“Bartering with people means you have a conversation with them, a sort of respectful distance.”
I am planning on being alive on day 7.
Don’t talk down to me ole wise one.
I’m not talking down to you at all, FRiend.
But I have seen prepping threads before that talk about all kinds of items useful for barter.
It seems to make sense.
But that means assuming that all the people you meet will be upright and honest, have something of value, ready to make a deal.
More and more I am coming to believe that that is a failed policy. if SHTF, don’t expect ANYONE to be nice or honest or have a sense of community, in fact you have to be ready to think that EVERYONE is ready to kill you! Or at the very least steal everything you have.
It’s not nice, or pleasant, or Christian.
But it is what it is.
