Thought I'd direct readers to a couple great SurvivalBlog posts from JWR today. First is from the SurvivalBlog archives. The second is on barter items. Some exceptional food for thought today on prep lists and barter items.
I do have to say I disagree with JWR on using ammunition for barter, unless it's done very quietly and with those you trust completely. In fact, any bartering in a disaster situation should be handled very carefully--if word spreads that you've got a big surplus on needed items (food, ammo, tools, medical supplies, etc.) you could wind up with some unwanted trouble.
