What in the world is bartering? Why may it be important? Many of you may not know that the LDS people are not the only ones feeling the push and urgency to get prepared. The biggest difference is we have been taught for generations how important it is. I'm pretty sure that the author of this site is not of our faith...however I feel that they have a valid point considering the possible use of bartering in the future and that is something we would also do well to be ready for. Many items are inexpensive like salt or matches but it could be traded for something you dearly need.
I found this list here:

"When the day comes that Christians won't be able to buy or sell, or that the nation suffers massive upheaval, many believe that bartering will once again be vital to survival. To that end those that are preparing are collecting items that might be useful as "trade goods". These are based on what items have been sought after in other countries around the world."
