We dive deep into bartering strategies for disaster scenarios, focusing on what items hold the most value and how to trade safely when traditional systems fail.
• Batteries (AA, AAA, and CR2032 "watch batteries") are excellent barter items that are always in demand
• Personal hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, and wet wipes boost morale and become surprisingly valuable
• First aid supplies and over-the-counter medications will always find willing traders
• Small tools (screwdrivers, socket sets, duct tape) and repair skills offer recurring value
• Freeze-dried meals and long-shelf-life foods become premium trading commodities
• Practice safe bartering by knowing your trading partner, bringing backup, and setting clear terms
• Don't overshare information about your supplies to avoid becoming a target
• Useful skills like sharpening tools or mending clothing can be bartered repeatedly without depleting supplies
• Trust your gut—if a trade feels wrong, walk away
• Look for fair exchanges where both parties feel they've received good value
