My top 10 items for Bartering/Trading

This is my top 10 items for trading and/or bartering and their uses. Comment below if you have other items that should've been on this list.











1. Hand Sanitizer- a. Duh! It's in the name! 🤣

b. It's flammable! You get

idea.

2. Duct Tape- a. Piece together a temporarily

shelter with a trash bag or

Tarp.

b. Fix leaky hoses

c. A quick bandage

3. Aluminum Foil- a. Seed Starting: Line a box

with foil & poke holes in

the bottom. Fill 1/2 way

with soil. Plant seed &

add water. Foil helps warm

the soil when placed in

a sunny window sill.

b. Sharpen scissors: Simply

cut foil as you would

paper.

4. Chapstick- a. Obviously for dry, cracked lips.

b. Stop small cuts from bleeding.

c. Prevent chafing.

5. Baking Soda- a. Clean fruits and vegetables:

Spinkle on a damp sponge.

Wipe food & rinse.

b. Brush your teeth 😬! I can

explain! Mix baking soda

with coconut oil, sweetener,

& mint extract to form a paste.

6. Zipties- a. Attach gear to your bug-out-bag.

b Secure a splint

c. Hang things for space saving.

7. Salt- a. Obviously for seasoning food.

b. Cleaning cast iron. Salt, a little water,

scrub scrub scrub!

c. Curing meats.

d. Stopping ants: Sprinkle salt wherever ants

might come in. Ants won't walk over salt.

(Garlic powder also works)

8. Shoestrings- a. Temporary cordage.

b. Temporary fishing line.

9. Ponchos- a. Collect rain water.

b. Drag heavy objects.

10. Borax- a. Clean toilets.

b. Clean mold & mildew: 1 cup borax to 1 qt.

water. Spray on mold/mildew. Let sit a few

hours. Rinse.

I hope this was interesting and helpful!

Thank you for stopping by!
