What items will be considered valuable in a great economic depression? Here's what I think will be:

1. Food - Seeds, eggs, meat will be the most valuable

2. Purified Water - a human essential

3. Livestock

4. Ammo - Never bring a knife to a gun fight

5. Precious metals - Gold and silver will continue to be used as currency

I'm in a small bartering group, there's been no meat or milk offered or requested yet but honey and eggs are the most valuable currently, skilled and heavy labour are rarely traded so far (mostly women so just occasionally offering their husband's as tribute) but highly valued. One thing I've noticed that probably explains meat and milk being absent and eggs and honey being top by far is spoilage - things that last longer go for more - jam is pretty easy to make and comes up occasionally but it's valued way more then berries because it lasts longer. I imagine if someone offered smoked/cured meat and made cheese from milk they would go for a lot. Lemons aren't exactly "expensive" but store for a long time fresh so are usually popular.

Also nobody knows how to light a fire anymore so if you're thinking SHTF then stock up on BIC lighters...also cigarettes.

Bic lighters go dry in hot temps.

Like how hot? I've always assumed that warning meant they could explode if they get hot. I'm always surprised they work after going through the washing machine.

Actually there was the one time one made it all the way until the end of the drier cycle before I noticed it and it didn't explode but it did work (didn't try it straight away, letting it settle felt safer).

Maybe it's extended high temps or that I actually used dollar tree equivalents.
 
I left 6 lighters in my car and they all died

Lighters in post-apocalyptic meltdown. Ballpoint pens while hiding from the Nazis. Bic really delivers.

If you can learn how to build and run a still, alcohol has always been a great barter good.

It's unfortunate, but its true

Alcohol can also be used as an anesthetic, disinfectant, and fire starter.

One estimate is that about 50% of bootleggers during prohibition were heebes...

Taking advantage of peoples addictions during a rough time in their life (we're talking about a depression here) for a of source of money is something a jew would do.

are there are a large variety of medical and industrial uses of alcohol but in this context you are correct, at least if it's traded to whites for consumption.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to poison Invaders all day everyday.

as nice as it would be to live in high trust all white society, that's not where we are

No, kikes does that shit all the time, to everyone. It's called "to jew someone". In a real crisis when people have few choices, a lot of people will survive by jewing each others. It's very common in shithole countries too.

First thing that goes away in a proper crisis is the high trust society. Only people you can trust is the small community of frens you already know. Money will be worthless, only bartering will exist, eggs in exchange for milk and flour, work for food, and other basic trade deals.

Who said anything about money, I explicitly said as a barter good.

If the internet goes down you’ll be able to use pages of porno mags as currency.

I have 15000 pages of printed furry porn for this exact reason. All the furries will be working for me, tilling my fields and acting as bait on fox hunts.

Gasoline, Alcohol, cloth (yes, cotton cloth and gauze), Propane (very short supply), Motor Oil, filters, sparkplugs (anything that maintains a car), cigarettes, drugs (any kind really, morphine, meth, adderall, tylenol, ibuprofen, blood thinners etc), even soap, deodorant and perfume.

It's not possible to buy gasoline without soap mixed in. That soap pulls water out of the air & ruins the gas.
 
Vacuum sealing gas cans might work.
 
For long storage I mean

....what?

They call it "additive" but it's actually soap, keeps your engine clean.
 
Also it's why gasoline goes bad when stored for long periods.
 
I really think vacuum sealing a fully filled gas can would do the trick.

Dude the reason gas goes bad is because the octane evaporates out of it. Gas in the 70s used to go bad too ya know.

If you want to go down the road of prepping and all that stuff, you should be reloading your own ammo.

It really depends on the level of societal collapse but zippo hand warms & fuel will always trade well. The fuel can be split & you could buy a bag of platinum embers too.

Imperishables, canned goods, honey and other foodstuffs will be worth their weight in bullets

I day bullets because paper currency will be worthless unless its backed by something other than (((trust)))

it will be like Stalker/Metro

gasoline, medicine, guns, ammo and MRE's or protein bars would be high commodity

cigs and alcohol as well, because degeneracy is always profitable.
