I know barter in general has been beat to death here, but what about barter items to carry in the BOB?
I'm thinking of what you might carry to barter in a situation where you are on your way to a BOL or in case you just get crapped on by the universe and become a refugee, like maybe the asteroid struck your BOL.
I'm thinking that no matter how carefully you plan, you may miss something, something you didn't think of but need badly.
They would need to be light, and small, and likely to be in demand in a SHTF situation.
Gold or silver would be obvious choices. Of course the PMs Good/Bad meme has been beat to death.
.22 shells might be good, and multipurpose. Could be used for barter, or to feed yourself or hunt for food to use as barter.
Which brings up skills as a hunter. If you have the skills to collect food, you can barter food or you are valuable to a group of people.
A 2 or 3 sheet Survival guide. Could be bartered or given to other refugees.
Knives
Space blankets.
Any other ideas?
