I have put back a lot of stuff for trading for after the shtf. When the dust starts to settle there is going to be a lot of
bartering going on. I have a good bit of whisky, tobacco and cheap foods like roman noodles (yuck) and stuff like that. But I have been learning how to make bread. And if I do say so myself I have gotten pretty good at it.
With just flour and a little yeast I can make a loaf of bread just as good as what you buy at the store
So I'm thinking of putting up a small shed with a stone wood burning oven like you see in third world countries.
Why not? I think a fresh loaf of bread would be a great item for trading. And finding someone to cut wood or
help out shouldn't be a problem. (pay them with a loaf of bread)
Sound like a good idea? I been pricing 25 and 50 pound bags of flour and I can get a pretty good deal if I take 500 pounds at a time. --- flour might get hard to find ---even just the flour might be good for trading.
Thoughts?
Note: I don't drink or smoke cigarettes but in stressful times any items that bring even short term comfort
will be at a premium. Nothing like a smoke and a shot after a bad day
