“ While we are powerless to alter the fact of the Second Coming & unable to know its exact time, we can
accelerate our own preparation & try to influence the preparation of those around us.” Dallin H. Oaks
In a post-collapse world the underground economy may be the only way to pass goods & services. Consider
accumulating some of the following as BARTERING items & keep in mind they don’t have to be new- just serviceable:
Water purification supplies, hand tools, fire making supplies, sanitary supplies, fuel, prescription drugs like painkillers,
1st aid remedies, coffee, solar battery charger & standard batteries, reading glasses, paracord, bags of all kinds, plastic
sheeting, duct tape, tie wraps, tarps, condoms, latex gloves, hard candy, fishing supplies, knives, spices, books,
amusements, pencil & paper, pepper spray, seeds, flashlights, vinegar & B.Soda, empty spray bottles, mylar blankets &
tents, sewing supplies, knitting needles and yarn, can openers & hand powered egg beaters. Never barter from your
home & never divulge all that you have. One .50 Bic lighter could be worth a full days worth of food. Try bartering
labor for labor now to get the hang of it.

Quote: We have been told as members of the LDS Church to have a year supply of food. This food is not only for our families but also for
those around us in need. Even if you think it is too hard or you can't afford it, just do it, little by little...It doesn't matter if you grab one can off
of a shelf from a store or can 100 quarts of garden fresh vegetables. Food storage, start somewhere & prepare.” Mary Abbey Tillman
Random: Nearly 300,000 people in West Virginia awoke last Friday to stark warnings about their tap water: Don't drink it.
Don't cook with it. Don't even brush your teeth or take a shower in it. The reason- a chemical spill in a river in the southern
part of the state. “ People are fighting over water, stores charging $35/case & this won‘t be resolved for weeks.” Do you have
stored water?
There are musing of a Global currency reset by the end of 014. The US dollar would no longer be the Global currency.
These coming months are the year to work on your food storage- it’s like insurance.
