Supplies That Are Worth More Than Gold During a Disaster

When disaster strikes, your shiny American Express card will be useless, your checks won’t be good for much besides tinder, and gold, though valuable, won’t be something most people are interested in.

Supplies that can help someone survive, or even make them a little more comfortable, however, will be incredibly valuable. Fortunately, most of the supplies that carry the most value as barter items are relatively small and have a virtually unlimited shelf-life.

Here are some supplies you should stock up on as barter items. If you’re ever faced with a disaster, you can use most of these items yourself, but if you have a surplus, you’ll be able to trade for other goods or services.

      .22 Long Rifle ammo. Any magazines for commonly used military/police handguns or rifles you can get hold of. Canteens or other water storage/carry devices, candles, shovels, axes, saws, nylon rope, MANY more.

    • living and loving

      Cannot eat gold or silver.
      Some people believe you will be able to barter with it.
      Maybe for a time.
      Nothing like food, water, guns and ammo.

      Problem, gangs. Going to have to have a good neighorhood watch group, not afraid to pull the trigger
      With breakdown of law and order it could be a blood bath for the week. Not a good time to be a loner.

    • Theron

      Marijuana seeds.
      Heirloom vegetable seeds.
      Ammo of any kind.
      Canned meat

    • Dyan Bermeo

      Cocaine.

      • The Clucker

        Yes, don’t forget to put some cocaine in your bug-out bag.

    • The Watcher

      Toilet paper!

    • AntiZionist

      I don`t think any1 is hyping buying gold/silver over food/essentials; if you got currency left AFTER buying essentials THEN you buy gold/silver.

    • Eggzactly

      I bought precious metals in the form of 45cal, 40cal, 9mm, 22cal because when SHTF what are you going to do when they show up to take your stuff throw gold and silver bars at them? LOL!

    • Busta Myth

      Oh darn it, I forgot to get some condoms

      I never really though about getting lucky in an Armageddon scenario :roll:

    • Pink Slime

      According to the Bible OIL and WINE will be in some kind of demand and grains will be expensive but gold and silver will be thrown out in the streets as useless.
