Pebbles | 9 comments How will you barter or buy things and do you think we should save documents like are passport and birth certificate?
I think bartering (in the case currency becomes worthless) will be incredibly valuable and I am not talking about gold or silver because you can't eat or wear gold, but the best idea is to look at history, I believe that furs and pelts will be worth a lot in the event of a economic collapse, and according to history salt was incredibly valuable,but what is you ideas?

Pebbles | 9 comments I wouldn't want to barter with ammunition or guns because then they could shoot you and take everything

Beau Johnston (beau_johnston) It would depend on your location. In warmer climates, sunscreen hats and insect repellant would be valuable. Soap, toilet paper, superglue, hand tools, and a basic sewing kit would be valuable everywhere.
