In order of importance:

1. Distilled Spirits AKA Moonshine–Hard Freakin’ Alcohol!

2. Ammunition. The Silver Bullet of Currency

3. Soap. This gives money laundering a whole new meaning

4. Tobacco and Cannabis. Smoke ’em if you got ’em

5. Dried Food, especially whole beans and corn

Nice post !! Reminds me of Logistics class.... Beans, Bullets, and Band-aides !!

don't forget the medicines... Following you..

Thanks my friend - following you as well.

Yup! Can never store enough of all of these!

It's just the ROOM it takes that vexes me!

Never thought of soap as a good currency but as long as that stuff stays dry it will probably last forever.

Soap is money in some places. I read that Tide has become so valuable that trucks transporting it are increasingly getting hijacked.

But after the PMs, water, food, & ammo stock, I started thinking about toilet paper. TP is in huge demand in remote locations that can't get it. Trouble is, it takes up too damn much ROOM! (And has to be kept dry) Then I heard of this... Really cool idea! (Wysi Wipe 500 Biodegradable Wipes and Travel Tube - by Wysi Wipe) -
