Does anyone stock alcohol or cigarettes? It seems like those would be the most valuable barter items if stores shut down for some reason.
People come to my house, they can drink water, pop, coffee, tea, or they can suck it. Friends who don't come to my house because there is nothing to drink are not friends.My wife seems to think that every time we have people over we need several new bottles of booze. We're not drinkers by any stretch of the imagination, so every time we host we end up with bottles that are mostly full or unopened. I have a full shelf of nothing but booze that for some reason she won't let me get rid of. The only purpose that shelf serves in my mind is for barter post SHTF. I used to smoke, but I don't store anything tobacco related. That stuff gets stale with time and I'm not going to rotate it out.
I don't care for the idea of stocking addictive items for barter.
Never know when an addict could decide that their habit could be more important than your life.

I get it.That's just the thing. She usually buys the booze before a family get together on her side which is definitely the drinking side and they always show up with too much booze of their own. It's not people showing up looking for a free hand out.
Finished landing all the wires in the main at the new place. Decided to organize the mechanical room and found 2k of wolf brass .223 and 500 rounds of .22 lr that I forgot I had.
Once I got rid of the stuff not needed in there I added a sleeping bag set, couple gallons of water, and a case of MRE's. It will be my go to area if anything happens while I am working there.
I need to clean out the 275 gallon tank I put in there and get it filled but I just keep working on the list.
