Not going to lie, I first read this as a "portable bar tending" kit. Shows you where my mind is. Great stuff as usual!

[DLFerg]

I like this. Still living in NC after I retired from my battalion. Good to have here.

Love the idea of a kit specific to bartering. A Battalion marches ever forward.

Great kit. I ended up bartering myself for Aleve during the peak of the pandemic. Had a flooding issue take out my entire supply and with back damage things got uncomfortable fast. Luckily I gave up cannabis about 5 years ago but still had a massive stock pile as well as a large stock of "pipe" tobacco. Didn't take long to realize the local recently unemployed under 30 smoking crowd would trade anything and everything for a bag of weed or tobacco and some papers. I'm still using the supply of Aleve I built up using bartering in 2020. If cannabis is legal around you I highly recommend it for bartering.

Great video. One thing I would add, and you said it. The small portable propane canister. I would also add in one gallon fuel too. Again great video. Battalion

Happy to join your Battalion! Have an old pelican case that I'll repurpose as a barter kit. I love that you also put items in yours that you know your neighbours will need, I appreciate the fore thought you put into your EDC and preparedness.

The concept of a barter kit was a new idea to me and something I’m going to consider. I can see the value when SHTF used judiciously. Great idea to consider for battalion resources.

[johnschwab]

Always has some of the best ideas! Battalion

I live in Mainland China, say whatever you want about my government, when this type of situations actually happen the government will deploy all its branches including the military to ensure the general public’s well-being. However your video is truly inspiring, I have a pelican case retired from storing camera gear, I will definitely try some of your ideas, after all one as an individual can only trust the government to a certain degree, better to be prepared in your own house in advance. Have a good day sir and keep the vids coming!

The idea of a barter kit never even occured to me. We live in an area where our power is going out all the time for periods of time and this could save my family and I to the fullest. Thank for the info Marine-X!
BATTALION!

That secret video drop lol. I like the barter box idea and the video series. Battalion in da house!

[shanhutchison]

I have items for trading. Never thought of a "kit" or case for mobile trading. Nice info.

[henryvandeventer]

Battalion.
Great kit, the cigs and small booze bottles are definitely a good addition and in high demand when things go south. My kit is extremely similar, though I also have storm proof matches as part of my fire starting items.
One thing I would add that I have in my kit is water purification tablets. People don't always have the ability to boil water.

Awesome idea and I agree, bartering with people you can trust is the way to go. I sat there thinking, what could he possibly need, he peeps. But sure enough there were things you needed/wanted and this bartering kit made it possible for people to help each other. Keep your Battalion Ready!

[iantrefry]

Battalion! I would definitely add some coffee to that kit. Single serve coffee/tea bags would store nicely. Great video.

[snicklefritzd]

Great insight sir. Perhaps a list posted of the things you had for trade, and the things you traded for.

[joek]

I love that you know your neighborhood so well. Great Video as usual - keep growing your battalion.

[QueensNative]

I think this is a great idea…. Especially if you’re a kit lover and you don’t have any kits to create; you can slowly put this together and it’ll satisfy the urge to create one.

[ytty]

Good content. Not totally sure about getting into barter too soon after SHTF with strangers, but cultivating relations with neighbors is good start to a neighborhood watch. Keep it up, Semper Fi 🪖
You guys stay here, I'm going to Battalion. 😉

I don’t have a dedicated barter stash…yet. I have purchased some lesser quality items over the years like knives and non-Bic lighters etc. I keep the good stuff for me and my family to use. Also to give to close friends and family that may need one in a SHTF situation. One thing I may add to my stash will be batteries. And a battery charger. That way you can charge batteries for yourself ….or charge someone else’s batteries if you have a generator or power source. Just a few batteries not a whole “BATTALION”of batteries. Lol. That’s a real dope knife Frfr. Take care and be safe.
