I have been thinking very hard about what to do in the face of a currency collapse. Many preparations have already been made. I am curious to know what folks might be thinking for using as barter. Ammo is out--I may need it myself. I'd rather not use precious metals. I am trying to think of things that people will value because they may be hard to find but desirable: cigars, vanilla, maple syrup, salt. I can make my own syrup and grow my own tobacco. There are other goods which I could grow and trade with, such as garlic, which can be preserved for a long time if done right.

Thoughts? Ideas? Etc.
