It is my personal opinion that bartering may be an integral part of a Long Term Preparedness situation. Just my $0.02 worth.

And for people who like to play in TEOTWAWKI, I could use some reinforcements in my efforts to make Zombie Squad a more sane and rational place. There are some of us there. Just advertising an alternative for people who like to dabble in the sillier stuff.

I realize the topic was about barter goods, but I don't see how that automatically equates to black helicopters, anymore than talking about defending your home using a shotgun equates to fortifying your compound.
I can see that these topics can drift in that direction, but I thought that
It's not that it can drift, it's that is always does eventually. Every time, all the time. I'm willing to admit bartering is harmless enough, and I like the idea of it. I'm even of the opinion that gasoline and toilet paper are worth far more than gold and ammo in an emergency situation. Again, I killed the thread because it had all the indicators of going off the rails. Was I hasty? Sure. Was the topic sure to drift? No, it wasn't, however, you'll note that it was 3:54 AM, I was just back from a messy truck wreck and perhaps I was not in the best of moods. Banter on barter all you like, I'll back down a bit. Flaggers - and you know who you are - lighten up a bit. But no black helicopters or trilateral commission. Please.

Flaggers - and you know who you are - lighten up a bit. But no black helicopters or trilateral commission. Please. Darn, and I was just about to tell everyone my theories on the "Pentavirate."
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as the Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, the Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tets-up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eyes! And that smug look on his face, "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate the Colonel?
Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartarse!

Now that's just silly. Everyone knows the colonel faked his own death.
