I have a steer for insurance. Many, many pounds of hamburger for bartering.
There will be too many of the dead for caskets. I believe mass graves will be the order of the day.
the Muslims are buying my goats.
Not selling them with bitcoins either.
Ask the French. They did trade with the Germans in WW2.
Get small, get close.
This will be very ugly.
No honor. No Quarter.
Just a thought as regards to “bartering”, try not to trade with new or full items, especially items that look like they just came off of the shelf.
If I were bartering in an environment where you are dealing in leftovers, cast offs, and found items, and someone wanted to trade something unused, my thought process would be; “Why hasn’t he used that item himself? If he’s willing to trade something in that condition, he must have a spare in better condition, or maybe even multiples of the same items.”
You can see how this would quickly brand you as someone who has “supplies” on hand. Not necessarily a good thing. I’m sure everyone on this thread has heard about the “gray man”, well it’s time to think of “gray stuff” as well. When bartering, scuff up your items, apply a little dirt or grime, remove any safety seals, and don’t trade anything that is more than 80% full. This will go a long way towards your ability to remain anonymous, and anonymous is how you keep the bad guys from following you home to take your stuff.
