I don't intend to collect things for barter only.

I will have what we need , and if barter seems necessary, I amy exchange a few things.

Having said that let me ask you what you think about these as bater items :

- Survival/prep books ( like SAS manual , Dare to prepare, Cody's books, LDS manual , and such )

- Three ring binders of prep info ( selectively printed from the net, some you can giveaway to relatives/frinds after SHTF)

- CONDOMS ( non-lubricated )

- Survival kit in a can.
Sure it isn't much but can be used like a "small bill".
