The list is incorrect. Why not just list 1000 items to barter?
Go ahead, how soon can your list be ready? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 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. Of course you will probably want more than 40 items. Will Walmart still be open? Police Looting a Wal-Mart After Katrina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYn-P72lp3M

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".

A wind up radio and as much canned/bulk food. Water purification and the means to protect yourself. Long term case seeds to grow food.

Water purification tabs and canned food should be easy to trade for much of the other stuff ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) That will be 1 oz of gold for the water filter. BUT IT COSTS $12:?!?!?! Are you thirsty? 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.

The list is incorrect. Why not just list 1000 items to barter?
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 a scenario like that, I see consistent groups of people (say from 20 to 60, either NRA civilians or army or police) heavily armed, who instead or "bartering" will just shoot you dead and take all your precious goods.

+1, Life in post collapse world could be very unpredictable, better hide on the bunker and wait until its calm and the peace and order is back.
