A lot of these have been suggested already, but how about a roll of plastic bags? Theyre tossed around nowadays but its hard to match the versatility of a new, hole-free plastic bag, and they might become hard to find when the apocalypse rolls around.

chew its good for bee stings i got one scoutmaster ran too the truck and got a can of copenhagen and put it on the sting i would go loot a lumber yard and a hardware
GASOLINE!!! Save a SHITLOAD of gasoline in like a few 50 gallon drums and trade it per gallon! Generators, cars, molotov cocktails all use gasoline as one of their main components!
@footbalr074 Gas going bad? I've never heard of that. How did it survive all those years liquifying from fossils and surviving the refinement process?
@Febeleh Oil when processed to the degree it makes gasoline will not last a large amount of time, hence why companies make fuel stabilizers to extend this life, but even with that it still has a limited life, diesel fuel will last a bit longer than standard gasoline
Ever seen someone who missed their morning coffee? Those suckers will kill your children without a second thought for a cup. In the drug aisle, pick up some multi vitamins to supplement your crappy new diet, some pain killers because folks with headaches are not happy people. antibiotics are literal life savers so will be at a mega premium.
Do you really support looting ? With all your ethics I thought you wouldn't support it. Or is it looting when SHTF not just stupid people wanting to loot after a baseball team winning.
Books are a great source of tons of information, hit up your local thrift stores and you will pay pennies on the dollar for them, you can build out an extensive library for next to nothing. I would suggest a few bottles of Grain Alcohol too if it is available in your area, very concentrated, can be burned for stove fuel, used as antiseptic, ingested, etc..
Jeff, you're forgetting the most important thing... good ol' T.P. it is one of the most important things nobody thinks about. One of the most ordered items in middle eastern exchange programs is TP... just saying
@Y34RZ3R0iscoming Bartering is lower risk than attempting to steal from other, possibly well armed or well backed up people. Unless you are damn sure you can take what you want without repercussion, bartering would be more logical.
Not that everyone you meet will be thinking logically.
If society ever does break down, having a bag of 50-100 cannabis seeds would be great.
They are legal to own in most countries as long as you don't plant them. Hemp can be eaten, used as fuel and used for making paper, rope, textiles and plastic. It grows quickly and is a hardy plant.
Considering how little is needed for the pain and stress relieving properties, it would also be great for trading.
Jeff, I really like your idea of books. Having a library of useful prepper books, along with some interesting novels is a great idea.
Historical books would also be a good thing to keep in the library.
As far as preps that people don't normally think of...I would say prep things such as screws and fasteners, rope and spare parts for the machines that you use (car, mower, chainsaw, firearm, etc.)
Also, communications are a must. Every serious prepper should be a HAM operator.
What if this happens. Let's say you trade a smoker for some of his food supply and now you have more food. Eventually that smoker is going to run out of his food supply faster than you. Now you are the guy with the food and now you're a target for the starving people that traded their food away. Just something I thought of...
how about this. I dont much care if it is my place someone is looting or not,or if it is for survival. If someone is looting in a shtf situation I am shooting or running them off. I dont give two shits if I get killed in the process.in shtf be part of the solution that restores order, not hooded Abicrombe & Fitch ducebags that ultimately get there asses shot off.
@corpsemunger Look, what is yours is still yours even during SHTF, Same thing for everyone else. Even entertaining the idea of looting is extremely unethical. And I am willing too die defending other peoples stuff let alone my own.I dont much care who disagrees with that assessment because it is truth. I may be an atheist but damn it all if I am not my brothers keeper. : )
Also on a serious note- boardgames, playing cards, maybe a couple footballs. Things that will be low maintenance and able to be reused for entertainment.
I woudnt recommend whiskey or bourbon for cleaning wounds to much sugar in it wil get all sticky beter use plain alchol u get from a drug store i gues u call it in America
Entertainment can not be overloked. I've been to many fires where we are 'monitoring' from the Fire Engine overnight, and you can get bored fast, then tempers can get frayed. We have found ourselves improvising games from what we can find....In my fire kit I always carry a little sketch pad, a tiny deck of cards, sweets, gum, and a charger for my phone. Plenty of games on there.
@neolithic3 Americans are not the only ones prepping, look at Europe, many preppers over there too. Also, im sure people in 3rd world countries would prep too if they didn't have a constant struggle to live day by day all the time because their governments are terrorizing them and being hypocritical bastards. Libya, Africa, Cuba, and Syria are just a few to name.
Great vid Jeff as always. As someone else said. Weed and seeds would be a good idea. even though it is illegal, it would be a great thing to stock up on for many of the same reasons as alcohol. Recreation, medical reasons etc...
Jeff, while that's all well and good, if that tobacco isn't stored properly, and humidity monitored, that tobacco is going to be as good as smoking newspaper. Doesn't take long to dry out, and once it's dried out, it's unsmokeable. Alcohol is good to go.
@gonzobeyondo Then chew it. Tobacco has a number of ways of getting into the bloodstream.If someone wants it bad enough they will smoke it or chew it no matter how dry it is.You are not thinking of how desperate people will get.This isn't a flash power outage he is talking about.
alcohol,drugs,tobbaco,silver & gold aren't frivolous,they're nececcesary! id wanna have my acoustic guitar to have some music while we wait out the apoc!
Bic lighters would be an excilent cheap thing to store for bartering.. IF power goes down and IF there is no other way to say cook or warm your home the need for fire really rises and seeing as most people dont know how to use firesteels, friction fires, ect. If it is a good amount of time.. say a month or more then those bic lighters that you payed.. what? A dollar for four of em? Well they could turn into something very valuable for bartering.. Just my thoughts.
In the US its unheard of $40 for 2oz. In alberta, we get taxed $0.30 a gram, or $136.07 per pound. Resulting in a 2oz pouch in stores costing a minimum of $30.
alcohol can also be used to purify water. In the middle ages peoples primary means of hydration was small beer ( very low alcohol content beer which does not dehydrate the user but would kill the germs in the water ) Sailors drank "grog" water mixed with rum because water stored in a wooden barrel after being at sea for a month would develop algae and tastes like pond scum
I think you could stay pretty busy buy growing a garden, cutting wood, fortifying your home, escaping from NY which has been turned into a giant prison,
I'd love to stock up on Alcohol & Tobacco, I've talked about that with my wife, but they are unfortunately my weakness as an ex-smoker & drinker, and if I stored them I'm affraid they wouldn't last long ...... lol.
Don't forget another good trading item would be porn, I know that sounds bad but its true ..... lol
So, I should loot the pharmacies first, huh? LOL, I'm kidding. I know what you meant. Seriously, though, beer has a shelf life and I'd stay away from beer over a year old. BUT, it would be the thing to MAKE during hard times. It's easy to do and will keep drinking water potable (in the beer). Cave men made beer.
First off Wal Mart will get locked down tight, I know I work there. So the first sign of trouble managment will have everyone that doesnt work there leave. Not to mention Those that work there arent just going to let you take stuff, that our shit thats why we work there. We'll have bats and other stuff defend the merchandise. Its ours you cant have it.
Oh i forgot to mention sports equipment like like baseball and football etc..They fall under toys i guess though.I have high powered pellets guns that can be used for entertainment,defense,hunting and target practice without using expensive ammo.Not daisy's but walther,airforce,beeman etc.
Jeff doesn't have a worry in the world tons of food water weapons ALOT of frivolous things knifes books ect so Jeff the question to ask your self is ' what to do FIRST?' you already got everything needed
liquor or spirits can be used for warmth (fire) and defense (Molotov cocktail).Adult magazines might also be a very nice barter item.I have some vintage and modern stuff.I also have model(The ones YOU put together) cars and boats for entertainment.
A deck of cards endless games to play... And think long and hard of where you stay how many people you have with you how much space you have why type of heating you have or how hot it gets and how and when will everything reestablish its self and in what kind of condition you will have a very long list of things you need it's a very scary thought when or of the world goes into a fall out
Condoms are actually a good idea for trade, I don't support nor suggest sex outside of marriage but thats a different story. Silver is good, alcohol, tobacco, EXTRA medical supplies for trade, tools, books, extra lighters/firesteel for trade, extra games for trade, clothes for kids that are still growing! extra blankets and pillows for anybody that needs to stay in your home, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and soap! (best to learn to make your own) TOILET PAPER!
@HaxAras EVERYONE will go to wal-mart. It will be the first place thousands and thousands of sheeple go. You think Black Friday is bad when people get trampled? Just wait till everyone is RAIDING wal-mart to stay alive!
@XxMalwareRemoverXx Gerber is an alright company if your on a budget but just get a light my fire fire starter. They are extremely cheap and are very possibly the most trusted firesteel on Earth. They lack the whistle but I highly doubt that whistle is as good as you need. Look at Jetscream whistles, they are the best. If you need a waterproof container look at seanmulhall channel and search shotgun. There is only one video, or use an Altoids can!
learn how to brew beer and distill whisky, the stuff to distill can be found any where and knowledge doesn't weigh much, and prep chocolate, I like the hersey baking bars big cheap good fairly long shelf life and worth there weight in gold to women who like chocolate. Also knowing how to cook meth could come in handy but I don't think I'll make a video on it LOL.
If you happen to be someone who is addicted to nicotine, a good way to prepare for the absence of modern conveniences is to QUIT ASAP.
I don't think it's a good idea to barter drugs (including ethanol and nicotine) with addicts. If they've got it bad, they'll do anything to get a fix, and a good way to keep yourself and your family safe is to make sure they don't ever know that you have what they're looking for.
Also as for prepping those things such as alcohol and tobacco I believe people should prep their own bodies for the different things that could happen, maybe quit smoking now, try to get along without the liquor, etc. I also love seeing the really big guys do run and guns, not that I have anything against big guys, used to be one myself, but its great knowing how to shoot on the fly and how to fight a gunfight, but if your body can't handle it than knowing how to do it doesn't matter
For some reason, I don't think as society is collapsing the only thing I could find to do is play clue, also for some other reason I doubt books board games, footballs, etc, will be in high demand if SHTF and society collapses. I can see the point to the DIY books, but in reality you'd be surprised what a person can do with a little ingenuity and OJT. I do how ever agree liquor and tobacco will be great bartering items, hell some of us are capable of producing our own alcohol
I have to say the things I think would be best for entertainment purposes would be books as stated and music. I know that there are solar power mats you can get for a backpack and I would fill a 160Gb IPod Classic with music. Make sure to get some good headphones and a couple spares and that would be great to have. I have 77.6 GB of music right now and that comes out to almost 30 days worth.
Prepping booze and tobacco, haha, sounds like prison essentials. Some of my family members need their prescription drugs but they don't care about prepping and it would break the bank for me to order their numerous drugs online from India. At least I got antibiotics ready. For fun, I'd prep fun size bags of candies/chocolates and condoms.
Sugar and Salt. Trust me, i lived through a war and those things were the most valuable. Also try and get rice and beans...bascially food that is non perishable and even items like alcohol and gasoline. kinda the obvious but still highly valuable and easily used for bartering, trading, and even use.
Cool vid good info

@HaxAras EVERYONE will go to wal-mart. It will be the first place thousands and thousands of sheeple go. You think Black Friday is bad when people get trampled? Just wait till everyone is RAIDING wal-mart to stay alive!

@EchoGolfKilo Good Point, I Knew A Lot Of Stupid People Would Go To WalMart But I Didn't Compare To That Black Friday Shit.
But Those People Won't Last Long, Just Loot Their Corpses When They Die In A Week.

@XxMalwareRemoverXx Gerber is an alright company if your on a budget but just get a light my fire fire starter. They are extremely cheap and are very possibly the most trusted firesteel on Earth. They lack the whistle but I highly doubt that whistle is as good as you need. Look at Jetscream whistles, they are the best. If you need a waterproof container look at seanmulhall channel and search shotgun. There is only one video, or use an Altoids can!

learn how to brew beer and distill whisky, the stuff to distill can be found any where and knowledge doesn't weigh much, and prep chocolate, I like the hersey baking bars big cheap good fairly long shelf life and worth there weight in gold to women who like chocolate. Also knowing how to cook meth could come in handy but I don't think I'll make a video on it LOL.

If you happen to be someone who is addicted to nicotine, a good way to prepare for the absence of modern conveniences is to QUIT ASAP.
I don't think it's a good idea to barter drugs (including ethanol and nicotine) with addicts. If they've got it bad, they'll do anything to get a fix, and a good way to keep yourself and your family safe is to make sure they don't ever know that you have what they're looking for.

Also as for prepping those things such as alcohol and tobacco I believe people should prep their own bodies for the different things that could happen, maybe quit smoking now, try to get along without the liquor, etc. I also love seeing the really big guys do run and guns, not that I have anything against big guys, used to be one myself, but its great knowing how to shoot on the fly and how to fight a gunfight, but if your body can't handle it than knowing how to do it doesn't matter

For some reason, I don't think as society is collapsing the only thing I could find to do is play clue, also for some other reason I doubt books board games, footballs, etc, will be in high demand if SHTF and society collapses. I can see the point to the DIY books, but in reality you'd be surprised what a person can do with a little ingenuity and OJT. I do how ever agree liquor and tobacco will be great bartering items, hell some of us are capable of producing our own alcohol

I have to say the things I think would be best for entertainment purposes would be books as stated and music. I know that there are solar power mats you can get for a backpack and I would fill a 160Gb IPod Classic with music. Make sure to get some good headphones and a couple spares and that would be great to have. I have 77.6 GB of music right now and that comes out to almost 30 days worth.

Prepping booze and tobacco, haha, sounds like prison essentials. Some of my family members need their prescription drugs but they don't care about prepping and it would break the bank for me to order their numerous drugs online from India. At least I got antibiotics ready. For fun, I'd prep fun size bags of candies/chocolates and condoms.

Sugar and Salt. Trust me, i lived through a war and those things were the most valuable. Also try and get rice and beans...bascially food that is non perishable and even items like alcohol and gasoline. kinda the obvious but still highly valuable and easily used for bartering, trading, and even use.
