As for a trout (or other fish) pond, it may become a little too popular if diets become too restricted and everyone starts looking for a little variety in their diet.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-72847346284357207352011-12-26T15:18:54.274-06:002011-12-26T15:18:54.274-06:00I stocked up on sugar and salt for trade.

For the weight, bulk, and cost of that crossbow and related items you could add thousands of rounds of ammo for the .22 you should have, or a decent .22 and still thousands of rounds of ammo. For each arrow you could go with a hundred or more rounds of ammo. As romantic as it looks in movies you would be better served with extending your ammo supply or other equipment rather than such a specialist weapon.Machinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823033143224574421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-39720917171271598202011-12-14T14:48:04.921-06:002011-12-14T14:48:04.921-06:00>A case of dirt cheap whiskey.

As you use up the stuff you have canned,you can trade the jar's and lid's to other's,if you don't have a garden to reuse them. And after seeing so many post's claiming,"i have 500 pound's of wheat", stock up on baking soda,baking powder, sugar, any type of baking stuff. Bread will be a luxury in a SHTF situation,as will pop tart's! Maybe even camping cooking gear..I have a coleman folding toaster,and a couple of grilled sandwich makers.. How many people have all these type of thing's? a cheap camping coffee pot,a stew kettle.. We need to think outside of ammo and gun's, or silver and gold. Survival doesn't mean profit!

Anyway,I just had another idea for barter stuff. My folk's do a lot of traveling,being retired and all,so when they stay at hotel's,they alway's swipe the little soap and shampoo stuff,to keep in they're RV. Hygiene will be a priority,whether it be for sanitation,or just to tolerate yourself! Maybe those little coffee pack's and such.<BR/> DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-2575504539530678942009-01-16T16:08:00.000-06:002009-01-16T16:08:00.000-06:00To: grumpyunkThanks for the link.

If they don't need what you have , then it will have no value to them.<BR/><BR/>"Cash is king" will work only if you can find someone willing to accept it in trade.<BR/><BR/>Coming out ahead will be a necessary thing. If items are limited in supply due to a crisis or disaster, you will need to get the maximum value possible, as there may not be any available at a later date. This is not taking advantage of anyone. It's the law of supply and demand! If they don't have a supply to begin with, they are already in a losing position.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-89437562972309823902009-01-14T21:54:00.000-06:002009-01-14T21:54:00.000-06:00To: DeanCast iron pots would be a good topic.
