As a nation, we are faced with a host of different problems from many directions, both domestically and internationally.\u00a0 The statistical improbability of a disaster occurring (such as war or economic collapse) decreases with the passage of time and the addition of other factors that lead into such.\u00a0 For a couple of good \u201cprimers\u201d on collapse and warfare (overall effects on societies and civilizations), I recommend two by\u00a0Jared Diamond:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cGuns, Germs, and Steel<\/strong>,<\/a><\/em>\u201d and\u00a0\u201cCollapse<\/em><\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

When any kind of society or civilization becomes unraveled, usually the nation\u2019s cash loses its value within days at the most.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to cover a few general categories of items to keep for\u00a0barter<\/a>\u00a0(meaning \u201cregular\u201d or frequent trade), citing individual examples within each category.\u00a0 In The Prepper\u2019s Blueprint, the idea of bartering was covered extensively and it isn\u2019t always acquiring tradable goods, but also tradable services.<\/p>\n

If a long-term emergency causes and end to our existing monetary system and an end to the exchange of fiat currency that our world currently operates on, people will resort back to bartering for skills and services in order to make transactions.<\/p>\n

Living in a bartering environment means one must possess certain goods or skills that others find value in. As Brandon Smith writes on the subject, \u2018If you wish to survive after the destruction of the mainstream system that has babied us for so long, you must be able to either make a necessary product, repair a necessary product, or teach a necessary skill.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
