I am not a "prepper", so don't bother trying to steal from my non-existent stash of junk. Someday I hope to be better prepared for tough times, but the time and money are never there. 40 Items to Barter in a Post-Collapse WorldWater purification supplies including purification tabs and filters Hand tools including hatchets, saws, machetes and general fix-it tools Fire making supplies, including lighters, matches, flint fire steel Sanitary supplies including toilet paper, feminine products and diapers Disposable razors and razor blades Fuel, any and all kinds (gas, diesel, propane, kerosene) Prescription drugs, painkillers, and antibiotics First aid remedies such as cough syrup, cortisone cream, boil-ese, calamine lotion and topical pain relievers Spirits such as bourbon, rum, gin, and vodka Coffee and tea (instant coffee is okay) Solar battery charger and rechargeable batteries more https://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/01/gaye-levy/top-40-items-to-barter/EDIT: Updating the OP w/ the entire list from the article: Standard Batteries Reading glasses Paracord Bags, including large garbage bags as well as smaller zip-close bags Plastic sheeting Duct tape Tie Wraps Heavy plastic sheets and tarps Toiletries including toothpaste, dental floss soaps, shampoo (tip: save those small sized toiletries that are provided by hotels and motels) Condoms Latex or Nitrile gloves in a variety of sizes Hard candy Fishing supplies Knives of various types including fixed blades, kitchen knives, and box cutters. Condiments and Spices Paperback books on a variety of subjects Tobacco and cigarette rolling supplies Amusements such as playing cards, crossword puzzle books, Sudoku Pencils & paper Pepper spray Garden seeds Flashlights Vinegar and baking soda to use in DIY cleaning supplies Empty spray bottles and squirt bottles Hand pumps for both air and liquids Mylar blankets and tents Hand warmers Sewing and mending supplies Knitting or crochet needles and Yarn The list is a good start, IMO. Of course you will probably want more than 40 items. Are you prepared for when the SHTF? Are you a member of https://www.couchsurfing.org, with extra room?

I wouldn't worry about things I can barter with, but rather who can I trust to barter. I'm completely unprepared right now, as I live in a flat with running hot water, have no generator, no furnace and food supplies for less than a week. If something happened let's say in winter I'd have a hard time staying alive.

I know what you mean; Even the gas powered furnace needs some electricity for the "starter". This was a long winter, and some of us are lucky just to be alive.

Might not be entirely legal, but in a survival scenario, I'd say guns and ammo, too. If you've got extra guns and there are people without them, you could surely get something for them.

Go ahead, how soon can your list be ready? Here are the other 15 items from the OP: Condiments and Spices Paperback books on a variety of subjects Tobacco and cigarette rolling supplies Amusements such as playing cards, crossword puzzle books, Sudoku Pencils & paper Pepper spray Garden seeds Flashlights Vinegar and baking soda to use in DIY cleaning supplies Empty spray bottles and squirt bottles Hand pumps for both air and liquids Mylar blankets and tents Hand warmers Sewing and mending supplies Knitting or crochet needles and Yarn The list is a good start, IMO.

Taking into account that barter is the subject:
More important than the number of items you have is the importance, quantity and quality. For example if you have three or four categories that are extremely scarce and needed (water, solar energy sources, high energy bars, vitamins) in high quantities, you can get whatever you want afterwards. This is good to know if you are not a prepper and you see some signs of "collapse". Then getting all items to survive for months could be very difficult. So go get a few items that you will barter and for surviving a few weeks get some of other stuff until barter is "the norm".

That will be 1 oz of gold. The value of things will turn upside down if something like this every happened. Although guns would probably become the thing of most value.. :S.

There are thousands to barter in the post collapse world. Normal things that we can easily buy now will be very hard find in the post collapse world. Usually scarcity would equate to high demand.

True. I didn't quote the end of the article. The author left off weapons since (in his opinion) if you trade/barter guns and ammo the other person is armed and ready to steal all of your other stuff.......lol?

ruger 10/22 with loaded 25 and 50 round magazines and thousands of rounds of ammo (over 10,000) is all any person needs for a weapon. In a SHTF situation the caliber is not going to matter that much. If you get shot, you are in deep trouble. It's not going to matter how fast the particular caliber kills... chances are you and your adversary will both shoot each other and both die anyways so the best thing is to avoid a confrontation and keep a low profile. You can kill a deer and large game with a .22... scope and SHOT PLACEMENT and multiple successive rounds are key here. If you are going up against a bear you better be aiming for the head with a 50 round magazine or two though. BY FAR the cheapest way to stockpile, as .22 LR can be had for 25 bucks for 550 rounds, far cheaper than any other round.. and Ruger 10/22s and their scopes and high capacity mags are cheap and plentiful items.
12 gauge shotgun is also cheap and plentiful ammo
Aside from that...
toilet paper
water filters
water
food
generators
solar ovens
solar battery chargers and batteries or hand crank models
short wave radio
assets in hard metals in a safe place
I'm not sure how I'd handle anarchy.. I would not loot and pillage and would work to protect the innocent though. I'd make a good leader I think... with swift justice against people who would loot, pillage, or harm innocents.

Because he was talking about the most basic items needed to survive the apocalypse. If you have 60 minutes time and you needs to be prepared for an apocalypse, you will not try to collect 1,000 different items. At the most, you'll get two or three dozen most basic things.

In case of a collapse, the BTC exchange rate will go back to $0.0008. Oddly enough in a bitcoin market jobs would probably fluctuate a lot (IF that makes any sense) Can't imagine an economy that loses jobs if the price drops or rises in bitcoin and requires bailouts more like people will switch and utilize Bitcoin and create more jobs.

Hiding in the bunker will not help. You'll starve to death. Better organize a group consisting of your relatives and close friends. The bigger the group, the more chances you'll have to survive.
