Pony Up User ID: 45332683 United States 11/23/2013 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find your list, lets say Intriguing !! Could there ever be a disruption in oil ? Could there ever be a disruption in transportation ? Could there ever be a disruption in suppliers ? Will the dollar last forever ? On and On and On............. Animals, chickens rabbits goats, livestock that is easy to maintain feed rapid reproducers, would be good characteristics. If not feasable, focus on other items. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47754583 United States 03/10/2014 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is the least molested, nearly cheapest, purist protein, supplier of iodine, eaten by cats, dogs, and humans, easy to conceal, able to store for ten years, extremely convenient for travel? Sardines. Can also be donated to food banks, and animal shelters if tsdnhtf. My Mom used to stretch Salmon by scrambling it into eggs. It was actually a house favorite. So I tried it with sardines in 2 eggs. It was very similar. Could have fed 2-3 people. But next time, I would use 3 eggs. |

When we meet them, we are reminded, not just of the presence of pure divinity right here on earth, but also of our own potential, and of the responsibility we have to try to live up to it ~ for our own sakes and for the very future of this planet. |

pmb1 User ID: 50410975 United States 03/10/2014 08:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sardines are good for protein and around here I buy it when the stores have them on sale and I feed it to the cat. Normally on sale its about 2 for $1. I also buy peanut marzipan, that stuff stays good for about 3 years. The kids love it and even I like it. You can make your own fruit leather or buy fruit rolls and keep them for vitamin C. Personally I prefer the fruit leather over taking pills for vitamin C. However you also can buy lemon juice real cheap. I keep about 3 gallon around. When I can fruits and even meats I make sure to put in a spoonful of lemon juice. I know it's not much but it's enough to help us to stay healthy. For bartering try buying cheap perfumes, soaps, deodorants, and things like that at the dollar store. It will be worth a lot when something bad happens. I stock up on sanitary pads all the time even though I don't use them. I had a friend tell me they could be used as a bandage if needed. Also if you have old clothes at home cut them up into small pieces that you can use for T.paper. I have about 5 small plastic bags full of cloth like that just in case. You can even buy cheap coffee at the dollar store. It would be well worth buying if you know you can trade it later on. |

FlashBuzzkill User ID: 26255514 United States 03/10/2014 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Canned cheese and butter will beat caviar. Sweets - chocolate, hard candy , gum razors hacksaw blades Any and all medications can be the one somebody really needs. Mosquito headnets candles. lamp oil tea, drink mixes/ sugar - water gets boring. Great list OP. Gen. John B Gordon and Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest were the finest citizen-soldiers birthed in America. |

The Starbuckian User ID: 51935534 United States 03/10/2014 09:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Generic aspirin, sells for roughly $1 a bottle, now. Good for pain and some heart conditions. Any canned Pacific salmon, packed pre-Fukushima might be a good investment too. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |
Lester User ID: 53358039 United States 03/11/2014 12:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Might trade FOR gun gear or ammunition, but never trade those items to anyone you don't LOVE & Trust dearly... Fels Naptha bar soap along with 1/2 cup Borax and 1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda makes a fine laundry soap when mixed with 5gals of hot water in a clean paint bucket. That stuff is CHEAP, and cleans w/o damaging clothes and does a fine job. Cost about $3 to make a batch. Are you spending $20 for a gal of concentrated detergent? We used to... Not any more! Got clothesline and clothespins? Maybe a washboard and a washtub? Might be very handy if you aren't setup with a HD inverter and battery to power your washer. Clothespins are pretty cheap, be good to have extras for barter. Got funnels and measuring cups? Very valuable common stuff you can use everyday, and others prolly won't have. How about broom and mop gear? Ziploc bags and garbage bags are very versatile, as are canning jar seals and lid rings. Vinegar and bleach usually pretty cheap and valuable to have. Plain hypochlorite bleach purifies water using 8 drops to a gallon. Avoid scented type products unless for cleaning. Might want some Ammonia also. Really worth buying the Kurt Saxon Survivor series and his Chemistry book. Home formulary references and old encyclopedias have much in the how-to category, along with the old Popular Mechanics from the 20s. PRI-G and PRI-D for gasoline and diesel are restorative chemical formulations that sell for about $25 a bottle. These restore STALE fuels to full power. Probably won't need it for diesel fuel but takes about .2oz of the stuff to restore 5gals of fuel. Might be able to barter your ability to restore old gas. I have used Acetone to perk-up old gasoline stored like 5yrs in Blitz Jeep Cans and the stuff ran just fine in our generator. Hard to beat having a bunch of drugstore Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. I use 90% rubbing alcohol to clean fuel tanks I have any concerns about. Takes the old lacquer and grime right off the walls of the can. Have also used BB's to rattle around in there and scour the walls when rust or grime is very heavy. Might have a scissor sharpening, saw sharpening service that you can barter. Might also buy a bulk tank valve adapter that allows you to refill the small Bernsomatic and Coleman size propane jugs from 5gal tank. Those little tanks hold about .1 gal of propane and cost $5 or more these days. Refill them and save money.... See my Lester On Survival thread for more ideas, just look in the archives... |
