Never bug out unless your house is on fire. Better to starve to death in your home then in the woods. Please dont bug out

Hard candies, socks, plastic grocery bags and garbage bags are stuff I have also in a barter bag. I bought a cheap camo backpack at Goodwill for $1 and I stuff all of my redundant items in it. That way I can have 1 place to go and know I'm not shorting my personal preps

I also highly recommend the charcoal tablets which is good for and upset stomach. The benefits of activated charcoal tablets are amazing.

This is an awesome list for those of us who have no plans to sell our bodies or our souls.

Unfortunately, when you have a kid(s) you gotta prepare to the very end. I will never let my daughter down.
Side note, not too much soap, you don’t want to smell good and be sparkling clean with clean clothes when no one else is, they’re going to wonder else you have plenty of.

Thanks for the video! I would add a few LifeStraws® to the barter inventory. Water is the most valuable thing in SHTF and a LifeStraw® will secure 4000 liters of water from a stream.

Your videos are so fun and thought provoking without being too dark and dreary and depressing to watch. You remain a hidden gem 💎

Caffeine pills will be invaluable. In an shtf situation. There will be no prescription speed for all these addicts, and while they may laugh at the idea of bartering for a caffeine pills now. I promise you when their body is forced to come off of amphetamines because there are none available. CAFFEINE pills will be looking mighty good. Not to mention just regular people who want a pick me up during those days. It will be a commodity.

You can barter your labor! I’m an old disabled vet- I have 2 acres, wife and I plant a garden. If we had help, we could grow a lot more! Then share the produce with the person who helped. For now we push ourselves to grow starter plants & get those in the ground. The rest is easy. But we could do more with help.
Only buy Heirloom seeds. Also learn to save your seeds from your produce! Buy organic peppers- eat the pepper and save the seeds! It is very rewarding and a needed skill! Just make sure the seeds are dry prior to storing or they mold. Start now! Use plastic containers from lettuce at store to use to start your seeds! Get a shop light! Our seasons are getting shorter. All this info can we found on YouTube. 💥✌🏻

Almost every apocalypse/dystopian movie has a scene where someone has to risk their life to find an antibiotic. That’s my first go-to barter item. Antibiotics are very small, lifesaving, and people would give anything to help save the life of a loved one. I get them cheap from veterinary supplies and from Mexico. I never throw away leftover prescription pain meds for the same reason.

Thanks for all of the useful information.

You need a crap load of salt and sugar in your prep. That will be highly valuable months into it when people start to run out of some of their Preps.

My daughter came up with a small washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, small soap, small shampoo in a slick bag. She will use for charity as opposed to food so refugees won't know the status of food availability. And so many don't think of hygiene. $1 store has all this for under $2/ziplock. The small shampoos and soaps are from her travels and staying at hotels! Would make a good barter item IMHO! 😁

Magic prepper you got your ‘mojo’ back!!!
All excellent ideas!
Seeds yes, very good! Follows the “give a man a fish, teach a man to fish” concept too.

Nails, screws, tape, Thread, needles, and glues. Things to repair stuff when you can't easily replace damaged items.

The dollar tree sells seeds around spring time until they sell out and most of them are either heritage/heirloom seeds and you can use the seeds harvested from the plants to grow new plants (I have done it myself) and they are cheap (4 packs for a dollar). I hope this helps someone.

Band-aids, tape, mini sewing kits, snack bars, anything that fits in the pocket. Excellent video, thank you. Peace and safe blessings.

A very good video. Lots of value. Well done. Thank you!

I love your channel, and I agree with a lot of what you say. You've helped a lot of people. My thing is that you should avoid contact with people after shtf. Don't let people follow you to your hidey hole. Don't let people know that you have anything. I don't have any food or ammo in public knowledge.

What about fishing tackle? Small hooks, line spools, split shot weights, small bobbers, etc etc
