If this situation does arise, you will be better equipped if you had started preparing for the new exchange system that will be implemented.
Barter system is staging a revival
The barter system existed long before currency was the norm, and the chances are that it will become the global standard once more, not long from now. If you are smart, you will stock up for this eventuality, just in case.
You won’t regret it when the situation actually does come around and you have essential valuable items necessary to barter with for crucial things you don’t have.
There are some items that are simply more important than others. They can help you survive in the cruel new world without law, order and a power grid, and they will be valuable in the event that you need to trade for something else.
Here are the 10 most useful barter items:
1 – Water purifiers: these can be either the portable natural water filters or the store of iodine tablets that adventurers take with them on trips down the Amazon. Water is the source of life, and if there is an area without clean drinking water, a filter is going to be worth its weight in gold (although you should trade it for food or guns).
2 – Stove and fuel: You are going to miss cooked food, especially when you have to hunt to survive. Getting a camper or learning how to build a firewood stove is a good way to ensure you don’t get diseases from raw meat.
3 – Can opener: Duh. You don’t want to come across a can of corned beef and not be able to open it, do you?
4 – Proteins: canned beans are a good source of protein, along with chicken and tuna. Peanut butter is great as well.
5 – Carbohydrates: White or brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, and other sources of carbs that don’t need much preparation and will keep for ages.
6 – Condiments: Honey has no expiration date. Oil, salt and spices will also have a higher keeping time and a number of uses.
7 – Fruits and veggies: Canned fruit and vegetables are a necessity. If you don’t want canned stuff, just get a stock of seeds so you can grow your own herb garden.
8 – Light: Getting a lamp or a lantern with candles, fuel and paraffin is a good way to get both light and heat. Hurricane lamps can help on the cold, windy nights. Also stock up on batteries for flashlights.
9 – Clothing: Warm clothing needs to be prioritized. Without heating, the winter nights are going to be deadly if you aren’t bundled up right.
10 – Medicine: HUGE priority. Take a first aid kit as well as a doctor’s book, multivitamins, glasses, asthma inhalers, antibiotics.
With the right kind of prep, you can be sure to get the best possible value out of your investment in stockpiling right now!
