Actually whiskey would be good barter, it cleanses wounds, medicates for pain, and people just plain want it so it is good to barter and it wont spoil.

Traditionally spices and condiments are the most valuable trade good for their weight.

Personally though, I'm pretty well armed, so I figure to loot what I need.

whisky's pretty heavy, and a couple cases of creamed corn, some tubing, and a few old 2liter bottles and the sun, and you've got all the whiskey you need.

How many cans of corn would a person trade ya for an $6 silver quarter. Or even a $2 silver dime.

Not saying that backyard boogie is got the same value as Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, but it'd work just the same for those long nights hiding in the brush while the Choppers circle overhead with the search lights, and for those pesky lacerations. ;)

You know as well as we all do that God didn't send Abraham into Eqyptian camps to raid them, He sent him in for refuge and as trial.

Abrahams faith that God would deliver him was what was credited to him as righteousness.
Our faith, like Abrahams wills see us thru whichever tribulation we endure. :prayer:

God very well may have us surround an enemy city, and under His command, He may take down it's walls and allow us passage thru gathering supplies.

But we don't need weapons for it. The sword of righteousness and the full armor of God will have us evangelizing to the inhabitants and they will send us out with all we need.:clap:

Big difference brother.

I've got guns myself. My wife, my father, and my sons and oldest daughter are all quite proficient. We each have a handgun, assault rifle, and a tactical shotgun. We each have 2K of each rd of ammunition.

I know satan will send other socalled Christians into my camps, and I, along with my father and mother will meet them and try to minister to them.....but my older brothers and closest friends will be in positions in the tree line to prevent any and all incursions. And they've got their favorites too.^_^

And the Word clearly tells us that He will resend the MANNA. He has it hidden for us right now.

The place He has prepared for us is already in place, for a times, time and a half time.

Our missions to the cities are for evangelizing, and leading others back to Christ.:prayer:

The problem is everyone else is too, America is the most well-armed nation on Earth. You better hope that whoever shoots you defending their property kills you, or you are liable to have a slow bad death from gangrene.

So your intention, in the event of a prolonged disaster, is to become a predatory thief?

Well many of the super wealthy are sure as heck preparing, CNN Money Magazine says sales of "luxury bunkers" have gone up 1,000%! They have enough food, water, and fuel to go underground for up to 2 years. Wonder what it is the smart people "in the know" aren't telling us?

Problem with those bunkers is they don't account for flooding.

And if they're gonna hide from the beasts agents, they're fooling themselves. They have to have venting outside or they'll die, and the feds' will know just how to smoke them out.:doh:

The Bible says they will hide themselves in caves and crevices in the mountains.......but their will be no escaping.:sorry:

Couldn't they just go underground for 2 years right now? With some of them gone, the world just might be a better place... ;)

If they pick high ground that is not a problem, and they all have vents, though well hidden. I think this is for a time when there are no Feds, they will all be running home to defend their own families. The super-rich will wait for everyone to kill each other or die off, then come up. Of course the real billionaires will not even be on this continent. They have Islands offshore and villas in Switzerland, with helicopters ready to take off at a moments notice.

You know, I looked at the title of this thread and expected to be amused by some nonsense...but generally speaking this is all sound advice. Only thing that I would add is anyone expecting to be able to trade gold or silver (coins, jewelry) will likely be disappointed at the results. No one in their right mind would trade necessities like food or ammo for precious metals.

Copper would be worth more than gold and silver. Steel and aluminum too.

In Iraq after we bombed the crap out of everything and social order broke down people were stripping the copper wiring from buildings. Economist Peter Schiff says you'd be better off converting all your cash to rolls of pennies than holding paper dollars. At least they are copper.
