SO many options for barter to consider, should do a video on the best barter items. I've subbed caffeine pills for the coffee for barter reasons: cheap, easy to store properly, small / easy to transport, etc. In a SHTF barter needs, this would be the new crack!
Matthew 6:25-34 KJV Bible [25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Luke 12:22-31 KJV Bible [22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23] The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [24] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? [25] And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? [26] If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? [27] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [28] If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? [29] And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. [31] But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Several years ago, I had a thought. I saw all the local "experts" telling what to put away. Food, water, first aid, and so forth. But I thought about what we use everyday, and what would be nice to have on hand. So I got a "flip-top" storage box, and when I was shopping, I would see something and think "that would be nice to have." And I would get it and toss it in the miscellany box. I now have FOUR boxes of random things. In addition to other storage items, including what was mentioned here. And I am not done. For example, good work gloves would be valuable, Zio-Lock baggies, strike-anywhere matches (not easy to find anymore) AND friction fire starters. Pocketknives. Ample supply of Band-aids. Large handkerchieves or bandanas, New white socks. Laundry and dish soaps. I used to think there would NEVER be a need for these things or for SHTF prep. Not here. But now...
Why do you need oxygen absorbers if youve vaccum sealed something. I got a vacuum sealer and sealed some dry goods, and then I got some oxygen absorbers. Should I open up the bags I’ve already sealed and put oxygen absorbers in and reseal?
you didn't touch on everyday medications and emergency medical supplies such as bandages, antiseptics, analgesics, gauze, medical tape. You can have a discussion with a nurse friend if you have one for further ideas along these lines.
Used surplus ammo cans contained ammunition at one point. Those are the ones you cannot use. If you buy after-market commercial ammo cans that are brand-new those are safe
You are a bad ass and l love it .😊
To store cigarettes long term , just vacuum seal bag them with a small amount of rice this will keep them from going stale!! Great trade item!!
Excellent! Thanks.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Great video, a lot of items that other preparation videos don't even touch.

Good man! God bless you
Another great video, thank you!
HP tape is what we used in the Navy.

Sunflower oil here cost now € 4 a litre in the grocery store/ supermarket...

How can you tell if an ammo can contains lead?
Used surplus ammo cans contained ammunition at one point. Those are the ones you cannot use. If you buy after-market commercial ammo cans that are brand-new those are safe
There will be cartridges in the can.
Honey: Make sure that is is unpasteurized, unfiltered raw honey.
What about rat poison?
A cat
Baking soda: Mix with bate (e.g. corn mill). Mice and rats can not burp, so baking soda will react with the stomach acid, bloat and kill the varmint.
half of what you are taking about you clearly have no idea. you will ruin honey if you warm it up,
