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.

                scrub scrub scrub!

            c. Curing meats.

            d. Stopping ants: Sprinkle salt wherever ants
