Default As we see the economy descending.....

As we see the economy descending, IMO it's time to think about getting items for BARTER, and for essential Preparation (beyond food storage). Help me on this, would you?

Rope
Batteries
bullets
guns
Warm clothing, esp socks and boots and coats, Hats
Silver (1 oz. rounds or old coins)
Gold (almost too much value now in 1 oz for much barter)
Fuel: propane, gas, diesel/heating oil (basically the same)
Wood-burning stove
Solar cells
Solar cookers
Pens, paper
Aspirin, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone ointment
Medications -- have a years supply of essential medication if possible
Anti-biotics -- understand this can be purchased cheaply "for animals" -- anyone know where to go to buy anti-biotics for animals?
(I consider this for serious bacterial infection emergencies only)
Soap, shampoo, anti-biotic soap and hand-sterilizer
Mask
Rolls of 6-mil clear and black plastic
Radios -- Ham radios and FM/AM small radios
Walkie-talkies
Maps, esp of the area one lives in -- and of the US (all the way to Missouri)

The entire Preparedness forum is loaded with information and necessary items. This topic doesn't really show anything new, Mullenite.

I would have thought bottles of booze and bags of oreos would be good trading materials...
