Getting ready for the Appacolypse!

simple tradable items are really good to have too, things that are convenience items. Seasonings, salt, flour, pepper, tp, even a bic lighter (you can get the normal or small sized ones in bulk packs) could really help you out in a situation where you may have thought of something that would make life easier for someone who didn’t think of it and has been without those “normal conveniences” for some time. IMO - money is much better spent when you are spending it diversely. That includes traditional and very nontraditional investments lol. Is it good to have some ammo, yeah sure, but it’s also good to think out of the box and think of trade items that don’t impact you ability to protect.
-
trade packets are also good ways to stretch things out. Consider putting prepackaged salt and pepper packets with some rice, dry beans, kindling and a lighter all together and vac seal it. It is a simple meal to go that you can make at home for pennies and would be a good trade item to keep on hand in a WROL situation for someone passing by.

Think I’ll just leave this right here.

Tradable items are a must! I would trade food, water, antibiotics etc… for bullets so I can hunt my food and fend off the “varmints”

Not just goods for trading, but skilled services. I am counting on some surgeon needing a meat smoker in exchange for repairing a hernia or broken wing. lol

When my oldest was making decisions to go to medical school he was bombarded by the inevitable question “So what are you gonna specialize in?” Obviously he didn’t know, but he had the presence of mind to open the conversation with me. My reply to him was “who do you think would be in great demand (as a MD discipline) in worse case scenario OR if you were to volunteer in 3rd world country doing medical mission work” His answer was my answer… any surgical practioners, so that is where he is headed.

Obviously a degree in underwater basket weaving would have been a close second.
