After The Collapse - Scenario 3 - Un-Welcome at Bartertown

We join Southernprepper1 in the Scenario Series. In this 3nd Post Collapse Scenario video, preppers Ed and Mike take a trip to the "Barter Exchange" where they hope to trade silver for CB radios and a .357 Magnum for a 9 mm. They discuss OPSEC and tactics to keep safe in the urban environment after SHTF, when Hyperinflation has made barter the only practical means of procuring needed supplies. It is getting closer to a WROL situation.

Good video. Let me play devil's advocate for a minute. In this scenario things worked okay for you and your brother. You both got away with little damage and will use the leason learned to refine your tactics. But the bad guys you let go leaned a leason as well. Maybe their next victum won't be so lucky.

@nbadhorse I hear you. I just don't know if I can take someone's life if it is not in self defense due to an immediate threat. I DO know that many preppers have this cavalier attitude about shooting everybody, or at least they THINK they will when the time comes. It's really hard to know until you're there. I appreciate the insight though.

Very very VERY well done.

Namaste! ✯✯✯✯✯

@KASPLARFO Thanks Brother. We should have Scenario 4 done soon.

Even after the apocalypse, Spam doesn't go up in value...

[mememojo]

wrong wrong wrong! you are supposed to use code for everything when ur talking on radio!!!!

[TheChampbull]

Should have kept the S&W lol nice vid brother

If you allow someone punch you, then you need to learn situational awareness.

[JohnRambo45acp]

Should have took their car and traded it. That's what the police do with confiscated property of criminals.

@MIKON8ERISBACK You speak the truth. But some regulations must exist because common sense has become very watered down in today's society

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

@gymkhanadog I really don't realize why the regulations even exist. Any 10 year old kids can pick any walkie talkie utilizing whatever broadcast band they want, LMRS, GMRS, MURS, etc.

[gymkhanadog]

@MIKON8ERISBACK Sorry about that. Didn't mean to spout technobabble atcha. :P GMRS is a hobby of mine and as a licensed operator, I had to pick up some additional knowledge and know-how when working with 'em so that I don't upset the sleeping children at the FCC by doing something wrong.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

@gymkhanadog The General Mobile Radio Service is one of the few thing's I don't know an awful lot about in the technology genre.

Interesting show here, and I'm going to check out your other SHTF simulations. I hate to pop anyone's bubble, but If this were a real situation, CB radios would be something that'd get you killed or looted. Open-air communication means _zero_ OPSEC, no matter if your operation is taking a dump or bartering for food.

Field programmable GMRS radios would be best, and as someone below commented, even cheap bubblepack radios with their rudimentry CTCS codes would provide some manner of protection.
