It has fallen apart and society no longer exists anywhere across the globe....
You decide to set up a trading post....
So just what do you trade since there is no longer any goods be manufactured except what a person can make from available local materials....
Do you trade that which is irreplaceable????
Trade Items:
Food - that can be grown for can and storage food will soon disappear....
Animals - Chickens, rabbits, goats, sheep, cows, hogs, horses that can be breed to replenish what is slaughtered and eaten....
Glass Jars - All glass jars can be used for storage....
Lids and Rings - Even with tattler lids, the rings will finally fail....
Clothes and Cloth - All clothes will finally wear out as will cloth used to make new clothes.... Wool, cotton and leather will be the new clothes....
Hand Tools & Pull Farm Equipment, Wagons, etc....
Books - Especially books on how to live the homestead life on how to survive once the SHTF....
Fuel - Will disappear.... back to burning wood.... Gasifiers will be used until they fail....
Are you ready to live in the 1800'sss.... Can you do blacksmithing????
Look around you....
see all of the conveniences....
these will cease to exist once the SHTf....
and will not be coming back....
Watched good horses sale for less than $200 at livestock auctions.... Horses will be priceless once the SHTF, but can you afford to keep one now????
Do you have a well???? can you hand pump water or do you have to dip water with a water bucket????
It will be a struggle to live after the SHTF....
And most do not have an idea what a struggle it will be just to feed you and yours....
