hohohooo, myself, being a marauder, of the hateful type, looove these articles, its like looking at a shopping list, and all preppers are prey cause they prep to save theselves, its very handy for me, cause ive seen all these prepper fellers, all nice town people, no scars, never been to jail even once for fun, ooooweeee, all them lil kiddys an grannys who could not prep, will be very glad to see me returning back with all kinds of supplies for them, because, those who seek to save their lives, will lose them, and those who seek to lose their lives, shall save them, hmmm, so, have fun prepping hey, dont forget luxury items like cigarettes, never know, might save your life.
Am ready for people like you. I have bullets to barter with. One at a time…..
You might ad booze and tobacco to your list. I also notice you left off seeds. Pot will probably be pretty valuable too. It’s been used as medicine for about 5,000 years now.
Dave, alcohol and smokes are on the list.
However, the pot is a good idea and one I didn’t consider.
I figure everyone will probably begin to grow their own, when crisis strikes.
Pinky, yuck.. please use TP..
You don’t want itchy bum, do you???
Hey, Charlie is over there sweetie (prelim)!
I cannot believe you recommend POT. You need all senses ALIVE and ALERT when the SHTF! Unless you plan on taking their stuff to make it easier. You want toilet paper for that “burn” too much!
I assume you have not used toilet paper? Is that what happens?
I can tell sissies when the first thing they recommend is toilet paper as a “to-do” item. Real men don’t worry about it. WEAPONS, AMMO, FOOD, ARMOR, TACTICS are usually what real men thing of and how a separate the men from the boys.
The guy that said a barter item is TP will be flushed from my team.
Pinky, some people utilize marijuana for medicinal purposes..
Without it, they are too sick to defend themselves..
It wasn’t a recommendation, merely an opinion of how I think people will handle obtaining their medicine in crisis.
Hello Angle#3(prelim),
Charlie here. Nice barter items but real men don’t think about toilet paper. It’s the last thing on their mind.
You need lots of items, so much it’s hard to categorize. So I tell my employees think of EVERY CONVENIENCE or CONVENIENCE ITEM and that is what you should start getting and stocking up on. For Charlie that would be doughnuts.
Signed,
Charlie (who is into the singularity of doughnuts)
